Topic: Little Mermaid Dark Ride

1	dshyates Sat 9/1/2007 4:45p	This Little Mermaid dark ride is supposed to be utilizing an omnimover system. The one on the Litte Mermaid DVD uses a system like Peter Pan. My question is, is the system used in Pan an "Omnimover"? I'm hoping it is a ride on scale and scope to rival, no, to blow away the Haunted Mansion. It really could happen you know. 1960s technology vs 2008. Mickey work your magic.

3	trekkeruss Sat 9/1/2007 5:13p	One of the features of an Omnimover is the ability of the individual cars to rotate, allowing the ride designers to "edit" the scenes riders will see. Peter pan doesn't do that. System aside, I an *extremely* sceptical of the veracity of the LM rumor for DCA.
4	TMICHAEL Sat 9/1/2007 5:43p	I'm guessing it might be more like the Peter Pan at WDW with a continuous "Omnimover" style load/unload but still with the over-head track. Then again, they could be planning a full Omnimover and utilize the existing "ClaMobiles" from Nemo and Friends from EPCOT. Or even a HORIZONS style suspended system. There really are many things that could be done to get ridership numbers up on a dark ride.

6	Sport Goofy Sun 9/2/2007 10:44a	Horizons was not an Omnimover.
7	Imdbman Sun 9/2/2007 10:54a	I wonder if that was the ride that I thought was going to be like POTC.
8	TMICHAEL Sun 9/2/2007 4:18p	>>>Horizons was not an Omnimover.<<< Yes, Horizons and The World Of Motion were both OMNIMOVER's.
