DHS Voyage of the Little Mermaid Refurb

[Communicora]

It seems like that's what Disney is focusing on specifically at DHS.

Yeah. I just don’t think it is a great direction for them to take.

 

[The Grand Inquisitor]

Yeah. I just don’t think it is a great direction for them to take.

I agree but that's what Chapek is going to do unfortunately.

The paint work has extended. The top part of the soundstage is now blue as well.

So like..... this is out for good, right ?

 

[Nautilus]

I don't know if anyone can confirm... was told by a CM that I do not know personally, that during the prolonged closure the puppets molded and were not salvageable and that the show would not be returning. This was unsolicited info given at random, so make of it what you will. It came up in conversation when I mentioned that Ariel was my favorite princess.

I know I’m in a very small minority, but I loved this show and am sad I won’t get to see it again.

much like the littler mermaid ride. I feel like parts of the show/ride are fantastic:
-Black light puppets
-Ursula Animatronic

Also parts of it just miss the mark
-The green laser effect
-skipping the whole battle

I'm sure it absolutely means nothing... But Jodi Benson was out there posing with the entrance of the currently defunct attraction and posted this picture on May 16th.

I hope (though very much doubt) this means that the show is going to be revived.

I wish. Sadly, I'm sure it was just a vacation for her, and she probably just wanted a pic in front of her character.

She always poses in front of it on her trips.
I personally don’t know the status of it but it’s still listed as “Temporarily Unavailable” on the website, and hasn’t been officially closed. Whenever Disney officially closes an offering they notify the unions involved so we’ll find out when that happens most likely.

I mean, Stitch's Great Escape was listed as "Temporarily Unavailable" for a good few years while the animatronics and showpieces were literally torn apart. So who knows.

Disney isn't great at keeping their website up to date... At least, for such a popular destination..

And the attraction basically still sits in tact, to this day. Minus the animatronics and showpieces

A more modern Cranium Command situation.

Just read somewhere that the show has been removed from the website.

 

[Haymarket2008]

Just read somewhere that the show has been removed from the website.

The show was great for its time, but.......I can't say I am upset about this news.

I wonder if the rumored "Black Box" project is back on the table for this space....

I wish Disney would just bite the bullet and bulldoze the whole courtyard and replace it with something good

I will miss it a great deal. It was always a must-do for me.

Here come the Muppets was more enjoyable than this and if they revived that they can actually use puppetry rather than the Vee Productions costumes like they did previously..

I used to work at VoTLM and I didn't want to be pedantic but...Ursula is actually a multi person puppet
