I think that we are just going to have to wait and wee how the ride turns out. If they focus a lot of it on Ursula and try to make it scary like Snow White then I think that guys can like it too. However, if it's all about how much of a pretty pretty princess Ariel is then the first E-Ticket MK has gotten since Splash will be practically non-existent to half the poeple visiting it.

I'm looking forward to Mermaid and I agree that the ride will be able to be enjoyed by both genders.

Because Walt didn't buy enough property in Florida to allow for a full Mickey's Toontown AND a modestly sized Fantasyland. They just don't have the room in Florida to do what they did in Disneyland.

Because the only "real" addition...besides the restaurant which will get bogged down in ADR's and high costs.
I wonder if Mermaid will start off with FPs or not...that too will ruin the experience.

You know what the bad part is? I'm kinda more interested in the restaurant. Finally, I'll have a place where I'll be insterested to eat at in the MK.
Oh, and Goofy, I got the confirmation: Disneyland Resort Summer of '11. :sohappy:
Why would FP ruin the experience?

Because Omnimovers don't need it. FP only creates unnecessary lines for Omnimover attractions. See: Haunted Mansion
One could argue that all of Fantasyland would benefit from a landwide FP banishment.

Thank you! FP does nothing but hurt omnimover attractions Buzz SRS would never have a line over 35-40 minutes with out FP.

I agree. Even though the lines are long, especially at WDW, FP makes them worse and it kind of tries to defy what the concept of a queue, well a Disney queue, is. A well themed, intricate, and an immersive waiting area full of back-story before you enter the actual attraction.

How do you not understand this? The ride system does not matter, it's total capacity per hour. If the demand for the attraction exceeds that capacity it creates a line.
The demand for Haunted Mansion is larger than the demand for The Seas with Nemo and Friends. For that reason I would argue that Haunted Mansion could utilized Fastpass while it would not be as necessary on The Seas with Nemo and Friends.
Rides like Kilimanjaro Safaris and Kali River Rapids have a larger capacity than any omnimovers, yet they utilize Fastpass because often times their demand necessitates it.

But there's a difference. Omnimovers are continuously loading. Their lines would never get longer than 30 minutes if there was no fastpass.
Omnimovers should not have fastpass. Period.
But they aren't continuously loading. Their lines stop and start, meaning that no matter what there's going to be back ups that omni rides wouldn't have.
Also, Safaris shouldn't have fastpass, just as Jungle Cruise shouldn't.

Wrong. First off, Haunted Mansion loads in groups into the Stretch Room, but we'll ignore that.
Omnimovers don't get long lines because they have a large capacity, not because they are continuously loading.
If an attraction dispatches 2 guests every 2 seconds (For the sake of this argument we'll call this attraction an omnimover), that attraction has a capacity of 1800 guests per hour. If 0 people are in line for that attraction at the beginning of the hour, and 2700 people line up for that attraction at consistent intervals (say 2 guests every 1.5 seconds), then that attraction will have a wait of 1/2 an hour at the end of that hour. 1800 people will have been on the ride, and 900 more will be waiting in line.
If another attraction dispatches 24 guests every 30 seconds (For the sake of this argument we'll call this attraction Kilimanjaro Safaris), that attraction has a capacity of 2880 guests per hour. If 0 people are in line for that attraction at the beginning of the hour, and 2700 people line up for that attraction at consistent intervals (say 2 guests every 1.5 seconds), then that attraction won't have a wait at the end of the hour. All 2700 people will have been on the ride, and conceivably an additional 180 guests could have gotten on the ride without more than a 30 second wait).
See above. Fastpass lengthens standby lines - there's no question there, but if used correctly it helps guests see more attractions per day. The reason why this is true, is because not everyone can (or is willing to) use it at maximum efficiency.
If you're arguing that Jungle Cruise, Safaris, and any Omnimover shouldn't have Fastpass, what should have Fastpass? If your argument is that it should be removed entirely than it's a different argument altogether.

Fastpass talk aside...
Those pics of the models look great. All that rock work and all those AA's are going to make this one great attraction. Very excited.

Here's a couple of pics of the Little Mermaid show scene from StorybookLand Canal Boats at Disneyland.
This is what WDI comes up with when they recreate Ariel's Castle in a Disney theme park environment, and it should give us an idea of where the version at WDW is headed.
