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.

Wow...But yeh could you imagine, seeing the CONCEPTS to PKI under paramount years, and to NICK U under PKI years...Concepts look awseome:

but it comes down to the all mighty money! and what they can do to keep the fans happy at the lowest price,,,,

to make PROFIT$$$$$$$$$$

But concepts do they ever come out so exact????

I mean they hyped tomb raider,,,like it was the next big dark ride,, we got something similar to a top spin:::

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.

^^What ride were you referencing??

Jill Hill does not know anything he just takes stories and things from other blogs all the time. Go on a Disney site its like a four letter world saying Jill Hill.

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).

Who the heck is Jill Hill? And who was talking about her?

Sheesh.

I had read a rumor of it possibly going into AK as well, but haven't seen confirmation of that yet.
