"The Ride That Almost Was"

tragic312 · 10-22-2006

last night, i was watching the bonus features on my copy of TLM and was thrilled and yet bummed to "ride" on "the ride that almost was." from what they show of how the ride would've been like, it would've been a cool ride. if this ride was available in WDW right now, would you go on it?

Yes, it looks like an awesome ride.

Of course!!!! I would especially love the part where you're on the surface and Ursula has the trident. I wish they had it at WDW...

On the DVD version of The Little Mermaid, there's a bonus feature that shows you the ride that Disney almost made.

Oh, okay, thanks. I don't have the new version, just the VHS. I'll have to buy the new DVD version. Thanks!

I still haven't picked up my copy of TLM yet....I'll hold out for Christmas :D

So what is this about a third installment *angry face* Does it look like it might have any revealing qualities?

I haven't seen the DVD, but I bet a Little Mermaid ride would be cool. I do like the show at MGM.
On our last visit this adorable little girl was sitting right behind us and kept yelling out, "ARIEL, HI ARIEL!!!", then she said, "She saw me! Ariel saw ME!!!!"
It was so cute!

chris24 · 10-23-2006

it is on the second disk, and it looks like it would have been a great ride. i hope they change their minds and build it someday.....

but i'm all for a little mermaid ride..... hope they reconsider.
