Really guys, this is why we can't have nice things.

Oh---plus the "new" Dumbo ride which has been in the park since opening day and the "new" Barnstormer ride that's been there since the 90s. Stellar expansion, I must say.

Originally Posted By leobloom I didn't even catch that Pierce. I hope that isn't true, but knowing how MG-crazy they are, it wouldn't surprise me. (They think Aurora's gonna be spending as much as 10 minutes with each kid at the Magical Sweet Sixteen Birthday Card Adventure sponsored by Hallmark. 10 minutes!? They gonna offer Fastpass for these meet and greets?)

They said >> He then walked us through the Prince Eric / Ariel experience which leads up the ‘E ticket’ attraction Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid and offered some concept artwork of the dark ride. <<

It's essentially going to be built into the overhanging castle cliff/bluff structure, aka, grotto - which is probably some old DLP concept they originally took it from in the first place and henceforth imposed it on the world in its many forms.
