I have to say, the whole area looks amazing. And I can only imagine how much better it will all look once the new Mine Coaster is completed as well. Really makes the old portions of Fantasyland look sad. |

Fri 10/12/2012 8:47p | Yeah, we thought the ride in DCA was just ok too. At least this one has a nicer queue.
It's a shame they didn't improve the ride - they gave it an E-Ticket queue for only a C-Ticket attraction. |

As for the ride, well, the problem with this ride is that it doesn't take you anywhere NEW. It is just a very, VERY condensed version of the movie which we already know by heart.
Disney's best rides are those that take you somewhere new - even if they are movie-based. A great example is Radiator Springs Racers....yes we all are familiar with the Cars characters, but in this ride you get to do something you do not see in the movies...get prepped for a race across ornament valley.
Little mermaid would have been much better if it were personalized somehow and didn't just feel like a complete re-hash of the film. |

Hopefully the interactive elements and all of the details within arm's reach in the queue will be well maintained. Belle's village area looks very nice too!
Have they begun testing the Little Mermaid ride with FP yet? At DCA, the line constantly moves very quickly. Even when the entire overflow queue was filled, the wait time was still under an hour; these days, it seems that 10-15min is the average wait. It looks like there's a lot of themed queue space in MK, which makes me wonder how long they're expecting the waits to be, and how FP will impact it. |
