Well if the OP is done trolling.. Of course a brand spanking new attraction at the DLR resort has a huge ______ line. Did you not see Nemo's opening day? What's your point?

Here's a photo of Little Mermaid's opening day line on the 3rd ...
Reminds me of four years ago, after the new submarine ride opened at Disneyland. We were there a couple months after it opened, and the line was outrageously long: We never did ride the attraction. (Now, that ride is different because it's not a continously loading Omnimover load. ...)

Sorry to be slightly off topic but...
Wow, I knew that you worked on some of the previously mentioned Disney rides as I noticed on another thread but I didn't know that you'd worked on WWoHP, that's amazing!
That's one thing I've always wanted to do when I become older and it's nice to see someone on here who's actually helped create some pretty amazing attractions. :sohappy:
Anyway... back on topic.
I like this ride but for some reason when I was watching the video of the actual ride inside I felt like something was missing, did anyone feel the same? It's hard to explain as I don't know why but it just felt like something was missing from it. :shrug:

LOL! That is too ridiculous! I wouldn't even wait that long to ride it!Here's a photo of Little Mermaid's opening day line on the 3rd ...

And if you thought 328 minutes to get into The Living Seas and Figment was bad....you're wrong! This totally looks like the line for Indiana Jones when it opened up at 7 hours, which was the longest wait at Disneyland!*
*The longest wait overall for all Disney parks was 8 hours for Expedition Everest on opening day.
Looking at this makes me really confused and dizzy because I have no idea where the line is starting and where the real queue for the ride begins.

It's actually quite organized, and it moves along very quickly. The entrance is under the big Rotunda and marquee on the east end of the building, and the crowd control CM's were staffed throughout the line to keep it moving and keep it organized.
I waited in a line about half this long last week at Mermaid, and it took just under 40 minutes.
Al Lutz has a great report up today on Miceage about the daily numbers Star Tours and Little Mermaid are pulling in. And thanks to the Omnimover ride system, Mermaid is getting a lot more riders per day than Star Tours even though DCA is open 5 fewer hours per day than Disneyland is.
There's more info at the Al Lutz article on Miceage.

It's interesting, Mermaid has seen big crowds but the line always keeps moving at a steady pace. Even when it looks very crowded the wait time rarely crosses the 45-50min mark.
I guess for that we have to thank the omission of FastPass and the lack of interactive queues, which usually tend to clog up the line. Just yesterday I waited about 15-20 minutes in a good old-fashioned Standby queue

We were there a week ago; entered the park at 9:30 (half an hour before official opening). Were directed to the back of a line that stretched from the front of the attraction back more than halfway to the entrance to Grizzly River Run. But once the attraction opened, promptly at 10, the line moved rapidly into a series of switchbacks in front of the attraction building. We had about a 45 minute wait, and the show was well worth it.
Another suggestion: Jump in line just before the park closing, while World of Color is going on. The line was very short, with people waiting no more than a few minutes to get on. And PLEASE don't judge this ride by the videos you've seen: A totally immersive experience you don't get if you're not there.
And a word of warning to Star Tours fans in Disneyland: VERY VERY busy; we'd get fastpasses the moment we walked in the park, a little after 9:30 or so, and wouldn't get a return time until 4:30, 6:30, etc. One day, last Tuesday, our return time was 11 p.m. and they ran out of fastpasses a little before 10 a.m. that day. All day every day in the park, the standby queue had a posted wait time of no less than 90 minutes, and it was usually 120 or more.
