  • Randomland is back at DCA, Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, to shed a little light on how we FINALLY got a Dark Ride attraction based on the 1989 Disney animated classic, the Little Mermaid!
    Replacing Whoopi Goldberg's "Golden Dreams" this undersea adventure takes guests into the Heart of Ariel & Prince Eric's adventures. And of course, we spotted another animated "Hidden mickey" character in the ride as well!

    I'm stoked you mentioned Mr. Limpet. He's actually been there since the ride opened. If you're wondering why he's there, well he was in the movie too at the end of the song Under the Sea. Look for him mixed in with all the fish. Placing him in the movie and the ride was Disney's way to pay tribute to Mr. Knotts for all the past work that he did with Disney.

    When I first rode this ride I was amazed at how well Ariel moved. I'm still used to the Pirate animatronics so her fluid motions really threw me for a loop.

    Actually, Mr Limpit has been hiding in the ride since day one. Ariel's hair during the Under The Sea celebration is one thing that's changed since opening day. Her original hair was swirled up ontop of her head, looked better and wasn't as bulky. I have video of it which was recorded during the attraction's opening month back in 2011.

    my family and i had annual passes for a few years before during and after the opening of DCA one of our favorite things to do to escape the heat was to see the golden dreams show. after not having a pass for year then getting one again in 2013 little mermaid ended up being my new favorite escape. my favorite thing is to dance like an idiot during the under the sea part then just stare at ursulas chin jiggle (the animation is incredible!)

    Wow I went to DCA in 2003 when I was in 2nd grade and saw golden dreams and went back to DCA in 2010 and saw them building the little mermaid ride and never thought anything of it, but this video just brought back a childhood memory I completely forgot.

    Gotta give Omnimover props to Adventure Thru Inner Space, which opened 2 years before The Haunted Mansion; plus, that ride, which doesn't exist anymore, only gets a 5 second tribute during the "Remember...Dreams Come True," fireworks show.

    There's also a little Hans Christian Anderson cameo at the end of the ride. A picture of his profile is on a little cabinet on the wall plus what looks like the original artwork of the little mermaid. Pretty cool!

  • @jtkirkfan2002
    @jtkirkfan2002 9 років тому +2

    According to the "ride through" on the DVD, the original concept for the ride would have used overhead monorails like Peter Pan and would have been multilevel so you really did go down to go under the sea. I remember seeing that it would have gone past Ariel and Eric in the boat and then come back around underneath them.

    @princealarming85 9 років тому

    The Little Mermaid has always been one of my favorite Disney films.
    I have that edition of The Little Mermaid on DVD and I remember watching the virtual ride through before the actual ride became a reality. I never did see Golden Dreams, but I do remember walking by it. When this ride was put it, it started to feel like Disneyland was seeping into DCA, which is a good thing in my opinion. It felt like Pixar was showcased in DCA away from Disneyland, kind of like a separate venue, which isn't a bad thing I guess, but I do like how this ride helped to blur that line. Granted there was the Aladdin stage show and the animation studio showcase building (where I LOVE doing the voice over in Ursula's Grotto!!!) and perhaps a few others, but this ride and World of Color I feel helped round it out a bit more.

  • @CheshireCat666
    @CheshireCat666 9 років тому

    They've changed this several times,I remember the big brouhaha over her "ice cream hair",which apparently caused great dismay. They've actually changed it since you filmed this vid! They just posted a side by side comparison vid of the ride before March,and as it is now, on the MiceChat channel. They added some figures and totally improved the lighting,the underwater scenes look more,uh,underwater. That whole scene has more of the classic dark right black lighting too

    I've been on this rode last year and it had a technical fault when we were in the under the sea section and the music got a bit repetitive after a while luckily the staff did turn it off and we got evacuated but that was fun as I'm disabled and we had to a little longer for everyone else to get off

  • @dunceclown5576
    @dunceclown5576 9 років тому +1

    I've always thought the animatronics on this ride looked a bit...off?? The animatronics on Disneyland Hong Kong's Mystic Manor look a lot more natural, but I may be prejudiced, as I'm obsessed with Albert the monkey. It seems DisneySea and Disneyland Hong Kong have much more tech-savvy rides than we do here in the states.

  • @Karalora

    How come, whenever I introduce myself, people say, "Oh, Erik... like in 'The Little Mermaid'"...and not, "Oh, Erik...like that one cop from 'CHiP's'"?
    I rode this ride for the first time, last June, and I was amazed...up until the end. I kinda wanted to see "Mega-Ursula"...
    P.S. I have been falling sleep each of the last 2 nights watching old videos of Bob Ross paint mountains. He has a relaxing voice.
