I would just like to thank you for reminding me how OLD I am getting. :zipit: :lol:
To me, TLM is indeed a NEWER classic, along with BaTB, Aladdin, TLK. Older classics would be Snow White, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Alice.

At Disneyland, Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is a 12 minute long E Ticket.
At Epcot, Finding Nemo Seacabs is a 4 minute long C Ticket, but is just one element of the larger Living Seas Pavilion E Ticket experience.

Now there's a passholder preview I could get behind.
I was waiting for that one. I am surprised that it took this long.:lol:

It looks like they're starting back at the beginning of the Plat. editions and rereleasing in Blu-Ray.

Ummm...no, because it's not. But there is absolutely no comparison to the size and scope of the Mermaid ride to that of Nemo at EPCOT.

Ya, that's going to be October 2013 at the earliest based on the current moratorium plan (which could change) and previous release (still in print no doubt because of the 3rd Mermaid film and the trilogy set released last Christmas).

i hate repeating myself but...
someone above wrote about hearing that they're using the same ride vehicles as nemo, thus i was basically saying i doubt it would be an E ticket b/c if is using the same ride vehicles, i dont think they can take E-ticket style twists and turns (although yes some of the older attractions that are E tickets are slow, like HM, but the newer E tickets all have soem element of thrill to them.....including soarin), but since no one likes to read everyone got everything confused
thanx (something 2000) for answering my question above, C ticket

I completely realize what you were trying to say. It just doesn't make any sense. E-ticket has nothing to do with thrills, and everything to do with the size and scope of the ride. A huge 100 million dollar dark ride is easily an E. Haunted Mansion, Pirates, SSE, Horizons, and Journey Into Imagination are/were all E-ticket attractions.

Al Lutz had a very good update last year where he talked exactly about this E Ticket issue. WDI considers The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Adventure coming to DCA an "E Ticket" in the truest sense of the word. It's a large attraction physically, has hyper themed environments with dozens of cutting edge animatronics and special effects, and immerses Guests in a wondrous, musical experience for nearly 10 minutes. All that equals E Ticket, just like it has in the past for Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Submarine Voyage, Small World, etc. But WDI is holding back from branding it an E Ticket publicly, because people will think it's a thrill ride not meant for little kids.
And WDI is smart with that. Todays audience, especially anyone who only knows about Disney from the post-1990 world, thinks an E Ticket has to have height requirements and elaborate restraint systems and massive G forces and twists and turns and drops in the dark.
When the Enchanted Tiki Room opened in 1963 it was the world's only E+ Ticket. The Matterhorn and the Submarines were E Tickets for 75 cents in '63, but Walt's Tiki Room was so advanced and so expensive and so popular that you had to buy a separate ticket for it that was 85 cents. Later in the 1960's as the other ticket prices increased, the Tiki Room lowered itself to join the rest of the E Tickets in the park like Pirates of the Caribbean, Matterhorn Bobsleds, It's A Small World, etc.
An E Ticket means much more than G forces to Imagineers and longtime Disney fans. But to the young generation "E Ticket" only means short thrill rides and barf bags, if they even know what an E Ticket is to begin with.

What a great post! I could not have explained it any better.
TLM ride at DCA will be a blockbuster hit no doubt. And WDW will immediately want a clone built as quickly as possible once they see the popularity of this ride. I'm actually pretty certain we will see TLM clones spread out to all the Disney resorts by 2015.
But back to DCA and their TLM ride - and I have to say that I'm glad Disney is taking the conservative aproach to marketing this ride. I'm even more happy that we are finally seeing an elaborate dark ride through huge sets. Something that we won't have seen from Disney in 22 year! From 1989 when The Great Move Ride opened until 2011 when DCA's TLM opens.

Not sure I agree. Most Disney fans are more sosphisticated than that. My kids and their friends still get the "E-Ticket" thing.
As for TLM being built in the MK? Here's hoping.

I think that no matter what the theme, the ride will speak for itself. Sure, Nemo isn't a very popular ride at Epcot, but it's also not an E-ticket. I just think that some people here are underestimating the ability of a good ride to help out a movie, rather than vice versa.
A lot of people seem to be saying that TLM isn't well known among todays youth (as WALL-E, Cars, Nemo, etc), but I really think that -- as long as they make the ride REAL good -- the ride will speak for itself. It will rekindle love with the classic movie.
I just hope they make it right.

Its just a shame that the badass Captain Nemo Subs are being replaced with a DCA clone. Would Disney consering having one or two exclusive/different scenes for the Florida version?

I agree with this! Not very many people know Song of the South but Splash Mountain is a hit! Rides can hold their own... if they're good! But with all that being said, TLM is going to be a hit anyway! Ariel is still very popular and there's a new generation of little girls that are growing up with The Little Mermaid! She's a princess and a popular one - I can't believe Disney hasn't cashed in on this before!?!

You can definitely expect a better queue. Because of the frequent rain, Florida versions generally get more elaborate queues than the California ones. Toy Story Midway Mania is a great example of this—we have a very impressive area designed to make Guests feel like they're shrinking to the size of a toy, while DCA has a series of switchbacks.
