The footprint for such a "big scale" attraction seems very small for anything more than a c-d ticket ride. Hopefully it turns out to be a reasonably lengthy tour. I've always enjoyed rides that really feel like an adventure and last more than 3 minutes.
Acouple pics of the dig found here...

Isn't that structure supposed to a fountain? Does anyone know what the finished product will look like?
Regarding Little Mermaid, from Google Earth the show building site looks to be about the same size as Buzz Lightyear and larger than Roger Rabbit or Toy Story MM. So, while it may not be as huge as Haunted Mansion or Indy, I think there's enough space there to tell the LM story in an elaborate way. Whether this will be an true E ticket depends on the effects and storytelling. |

As for them digging deep. Many of the controls for the attraction are going to be under what people think of as the floor area. |

I didn't say that. In fact I said it looks smaller than the HM show building. |

Sun 11/8/2009 2:18p | The telling thing .. will be pinning the location's size to the three Disneyland omnimover attractions .. with these ride lengths:
Adventure Thru Inner Space: 6 minutes
Haunted Mansion: 6 minutes
Buzz Lightyear: 5 minutes
To bill this as DLR's next E Ticket .. I would not make the ride length any shorter than H.M./A.T.I.S. |
