Little Mermaid Ride

I didn't watch the video till after I had been on the ride. I think like all of these type of attractions, it is hard to condense a story into a few scenes. I think they did a pretty good job.

Keep in mind this is a Fantasyland type dark ride. It seems to me all of them are very condensed versions of the stories too. I think many are expecting a Mansion or POTC E-Ticket.

The Little Mermaid is the newest in Disney's dark rides. It is truly amazing. It is a dark ride with today's technology. Beautiful building, beautiful scenes, beautiful music. If you like the movie, you will enjoy the attraction. That being... said it is a typical dark ride. Target audience is little girls. But I did find myself singing along the second ride and really getting into the main show scene. Only one glitch for me is her hair in that scene....looks like an ice cream swirl on the top of her head. LOL. The ride is a people mover type attraction so the line constantly moves. Don't think we waited more than five minutes each time we rode it.

In reference to what has already been posted, I really enjoyed it. It isn't an E-Ticket attraction. It wasn't going to be. Most Fantasyland attractions come to an abrupt ending with a "and they all lived happily ever after" just before you leave the attraction. I think the Imagineers did a great job on this attraction. Will I ride it every time I go to DCA? No. But do I ride the Fantasyland dark rides every time I go to Disneyland. No.

We were able to see the Little Mermaid attraction yesterday. I thought it was well done. I was not that impressed with the queue. I guess I thought it would be more interactive like they are doing at WDW. It was nice, just not that exciting. They way they have the queue set up on the outside it looks like they are expecting a mob. Yesterday the lines were like 10-15 minutes. It didn't seem that long at all since the loading is like at Haunted Mansion and is continuous loading/unloading.

My daughter (11) thought the ride was babyish (her wording). Although when I asked if she wanted to ride again, she said yes. I thought they did a good job on it though. For us it will sorta like Nemo. It is nice to ride every now and then.
