They had Mulan in china, Belle and Beast in France, Peter Pan in London, Lilo & Stitch in Hawaii, the Three Caballeros in Mexico, Aladdin & Jasmine in India (yeah, not correct, but the style fit). Anyway, I actually changed my mind after seeing that, and think that it would make a very cute version of the attraction while still keeping it's artistic integrity. I wonder if they will ever do it?

Did you get the ariel of Autopia? You should notice it should be completed by now. Just waiting for the opening next month. Shouldn't be too long.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I can't link it to the specific picture, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, the first picture on the 5th line is a picture of the whole park. I couldn't zoom in any further, but it's close enough to get teh big idea. Autopia is very visable and looks like it will have a lot of greenery along the way.

Seriously! They'd be fools to go through with a flume instead of a flooded showbuilding.
