Gordon Bombay Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 That was a great read and very interesting article. I'd love to see some of the stuff Paramount Parks planned back in the early 90's when they were really going for a movie theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thanks for that Terpy. I always love hearing of concepts that were, for whatever reason, not realized. One of the extras on The Little Mermaid dvd is a POV animation of a proposed Little Mermaid ride, which took you through the various scenes of the movie. My daughter loves watching this and pretending she's on a ride. Back in '93 or '94 I had a class with a family member of a PKI executive who told me about plans for a new ride. Being a big fan of the Paramount property it was based on, I was truly psyched for it. When the ride was finally officially announced, the concept was something else entirely. Years later, I saw the concept drawings for the original idea. It would have been nice but I can see why they changed it, and I'm very happy with the way it eventually turned out.

My daughter loves watching this and pretending she's on a ride. They're planning to build that Little Mermaid ride as we speak, though not in Disneyland. It's part of their billion-dollar makeover for California's Adventure. Other attractions include an area devoted entirely to the recent Pixar flick Cars (with an E-Ticket attraction featuring a version of Epcot's Test Track, but with two cars racing side-by-side), a completely redone entrance to the park (that postcard entrance is replaced with a 1920s Los Angeles), and a completely redone Paradise Pier (which would look more like what Luna Park used to look like way back when).
