Of course (yawn) it's the same old Mermaid story we all know already. (I need to write a long rant about how much I hate when the same old story from an animated feature is regurgitated in a ride. I have really grown to loathe that. I think Uni is doing it right...take an existing story/character and use it as a jumping off point for an attraction.)

It's a staple. Granted, content doesn't have to to be one big E tic, it could be a lot of little things. Lots of small dark rides. But two? Eh. >>Well...Mermaid tells a story.

In what FL is, and needs? It's typical. Just used to it...

So the concept art on the construction wall, the concept art at D23, the ride vehicle mock up and the CGI ride through mock and the model of NewFL do NOT exist, ? CORRECT? The Disney TeaParty is out in force! "lalalal cant hear you lalala"

Yeaaaaaaaaaa.........<<< We have them in Europe too. I knew what we were getting with Toy Story Playland and they all said "wait and see", now sadly, some have come to realise what a waste of time and money it is. The days of Disney and quality has entered the history books. That said, this makeover is 30+ years well overdue. I hate the MK Fantasyland as a concrete wasteland. I am with Dennis here, this will add a huge amount, even if you do not use any of the new attractions. TSPL however is still a waste.

I agree about it's significance and meaning, but would do so without putting down the mountains. Same echelon of attraction. It's CLASSIC.

It will likely go through many changes between now and the time it becomes a reality. In the meantime, you feel that you can look at a piece of artwork and based on that and your own preferences and determine it's a loser? It was mentioned somewhere something to the effect...should we wait until it's done before we comment, when it's too late to correct it? Well, Duh! Unless you have some ability to affect that type of change then you might just as well. Do you really think that your disapproval means a tinkers damn to Disney's shakers and movers? I know it is tough to see when each side thinks they are right about something, but the not listening "lalala" childishness applies to more than one stand here.
Originally Posted By leobloom I really like the aesthetics of Small World. Very stylized, but it gives the ride a distinct identity. And one thing I definitely prefer with MK's version is the flooded-room effect. DL's has that canal snaking through all the rooms, but MK's really gives the feeling of being on a larger body of water.

It's half the price as the first purchase. As for IASW, I wouldn't be upset if it's the next attraction that caught fire.
