I've heard two different names for the Ariel attraction, can someone confirm what it's actually going to be called?
I've heard:
The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure
Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid
Is the top one for DCA and the bottom for the Magic Kingdom?

What if WDW got like a pot luck of all of these in Pixar Place? So, we get Radiator Springs Racers from DCA, the Ratatouille ride from Paris, and other rides from the others. So instead of having a land based around one Pixar movie, we have a great land based around all the pixar movies.

I really wish they would expand Pixar Place. Its more like Toy Story Land now, and as much as I love Toy Story, I want to see more of the Pixar franchises find their happy home here.

So I have another question! So If Scuttle it going to be telling the story? Will it be like the Haunted Mansion where you will have his voice in your shell? I'm just wondering because that would be cool!

I think that would work. But soon I think you would have to change the name of the park from Hollywood Studios to Pixar Studios. It's overkill if you do too much. You can't base every movie but you have to be careful on....
1. What movie you pick. Because a lot of people won't like the movie (even though it's a Pixar movie.
2. How you do the ride. A Ratatouille ride would be amazing because Disney has it limited to a dining experience so far. You have to be careful on how you present the characters to guests.

I don't see how this could be a bad thing, unless it means the end of The Tower, RnR and Star Wars in the park.

This. :sohappy:
Not this. :fork:
What about Indiana Jones, Star Wars, The Twilight Zone, Aerosmith, Disney Junior, Walt Disney Animation, the Muppets, and all of the titles/franchises in The Great Movie Ride?
I'm sure Disney-Pixar Studios was considered as a new name when rebranding of the park occurred a few years ago (around the time Pixar Place was announced) however I'm sure the above parties would not approve and would voice their opinions.

I"m all for adding new Pixar expansions in Hollywood Studios but IF they do too much it'll seem like overkill and not make the park about movies but PIXAR movies. Don't get me wrong I love Pixar but I don't want HS to look like Pixar came in and threw up every creation and movie in there.

Yes, I believe so. The top one has been used repeatedly for the DCA version in the Blue Sky Cellar exhibits. And the bottom title was used in the most recent WDW press event.
Fascinating info you had by the way about the "exclusivity period" for Cars Land and Radiator Springs Racers. I would think they could still use the flying saucer ride system of Luigi's Flying Tires for some other theme thought, most obviously for a Tomorrowland attraction around the world. Or is the "exclusivity" also restricted to the ride systems?

More news and info will be out on Little Mermaid by this time next week gang!
The Blue Sky Cellar preview center at DCA closed yesterday for a week rehab to swap out the exhibits and displays. The new exhibits will have an emphasis on the new DCA stuff that opens this May; Goofy's Sky School, Paradise Garden restaurants, Little Mermaid souvenir shop, and the Little Mermaid ride.
There should be new Mermaid concept art and perhaps an updated ride model to see a week from now!

They stopped showing it middle of last year, not sure if it ever came back.

It didn't come back. Disney said it was just a "test" which was a lie since they built the area as a Lighting bldg, spent the money on an animatronic and mentioned it on their parks blog and stuff. If it was just a test, they would not have gone through all the trouble. I believe his shut down was due to a lawsuit the Luxo company had with Disney over use of the lamp in certain ways.

With regards to the Little Mermaid name, it's going to be referred to as "Little Mermaid" by many people around the parks anyways instead of Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid.
As for the exclusivity in Carsland, I highly doubt it would extend to the ride systems, but it may just workout like that stateside. Radiator Springs Racers uses a ride system (Test Track, Journey to the Center of the Earth) that is already in use. Tow Maters Junkyard Jamboree uses a ride system that was considered for Pixie Hollow - I assume that wasn't canceled due to pressure from Anaheim, but rather pressure from Tom Staggs' children.

Yes, that's really amazing. I have a friend who's studying light and indoor environments, and he's told me that eventually lamps and other forms of "modular" lighting will become obsolete, because the very walls and ceilings will be able to project all the light people will need. There will be special wallpapers that will react to touch and light up and/or create environments - imagine turning your bedroom into a forest glade, or make snowflakes appear to fall in your living room. He says it's not long from happening. I can't wait!
