Very nice. Adds a ton of theme.

It slowly rocks back and forth as it's moored there, while you listen to Ariel singing from the castle. The hostesses driving the boats at StorybookLand always make a point of pointing out that it's Eric's ship in that scene. I think they make a big deal about the ship because the rest of the castle is just very beige and a bit blah without the ship there.

The annual Disney report is calling it "Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid". I'm not sure if I'm loving the title, seems a bit odd.

What is with the long, long attraction titles of the 21st century???

I think the longest is 2005's Monsters Inc., Mike and Sulley To The Rescue! , but that's actually just 11 sylables.

UtS:JotLM is 12 sylables! :rolleyes:

Yay, the acronym I coined is being used. :D

Yeah, it's a bit long, I agree. Still is cool.

I agree, remember when he had simple things like Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain... :)

I love the new name. Its much better than just Ariel's Adventure, it seems like everything has adventure tacked on to it.
I think for short over time everyone will just call it the little mermaid ride but this is def a nice title even though long.
I thought they may use Voyage of the Little Mermaid from hollywood studios, if that were to change once this opened.
But I bet Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid might change yet again.

When touring the Magc Kingdom who refers to the attractions as Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Peter Pan's Flight or The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh? To me it's typically Buzz Lightyear (or Buzz), Peter Pan or Winnie the Pooh, I imagine The Little Mermaid will be the same.

Expedition Everest: Legend of the Forbidden Mountain = 16 syllables

I'd also prefer Ariel's Adventure as the attraction title. But either way it'll be known as the Little Mermaid ride.

The DCA version is still being called The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure. So I'm wondering why the MK attraction is getting a different name. Is it going to be a different (ie, shortened) version of DCA's ride? Or will it be something completely new?

It's going to be an exact clone of the ride going into DCA. As far as I know, nothing's changed.

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.

Your logic works for the most part, but you're forgetting (or perhaps you didn't know) that the HM did have Fastpass for a while, and Disney removed it because it didn't work. The combination of the Omnimover system, stretching rooms, and Fastpass created an inflated wait time in the Standby queue. As you know, FP integration is basically determined by a ride's capacity balanced with its popularity and Guest levels on any given day—which is why the HM and PotC don't have FP, Space Mt almost always does, and Splash varies with the crowds.

Regardless of how the numbers stack up, the stack collapses when you add human behavior, such as allowing the wrong FP/Standby ratio through a line. In that case, the Omnimover doesn't reach its full capacity and the theoretical basis for FP integration is useless. This is the reason that on slow days, Buzz seems to operate faster when the FP machines are closed than when they are open. The catch is that rides with very small queues (like Buzz Lightyear) cannot support the line that would form without FP machines on busy days. Hence, Buzz needs FP when the MK is busy—and Buzz moves quicker without FP because the park itself is already slower than normal.

Because I remember standing in line for two hours for the Jungle Cruise before Fastpass, I don't think the system is completely evil; yet so many factors influence the system's real-life operation, theoretical number crunching doesn't precisely explain the system.
