The New Little Mermaid Ride!

Hey everyone!
Does anyone know what type of ride the new Little Mermaid ride is going to be? Any details whatsoever would be appreciated. Thanks!

From all of the concept art and press releases, the new ride will be an omnimover type ride, similar to the Haunted Mansion doom buggies, but instead of doom buggies, the vehicles will be shaped like seashells. The sound track is supposed to be amazing, as well as the Audio Animatronics. I even heard that there is going to be a separate AA just for Ariel's hair! It's under construction now, but should be done in 2011. Here are some pictures I found:

The planned exterior:

There is a video on youtube of pretty much exactly what the ride will be. It was included on the bonus features of the Little Mermaid SE DVD. It looks really neat...here's the link

It's actually going to be very different. That was a concept video for a Little Mermaid ride that was going to be built at some Disney park (can't remember which) a while back. The new one at DCA will be longer, have different ride vehicles, and have much larger show scenes.
