Diz Reviz! From 20K to Little Mermaid!
The Little Mermaid : Ariel’s Undersea Adventure is a dark ride attraction based on the 1989 Disney animated classic, The Little Mermaid. It sits in Fantasyland Forest in the Magic Kingdom. Guests are able to journey “under the sea” to experience the adventures of Ariel. But this isn’t the first time folks have been going under the sea in this corner of the park. We’re here to talk about the evolution of this ride and it’s roots in another legendary experience, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It’s a story that starts on opening day at Disneyland, and carries itself all the way to Tokyo Disneyland. During our journey, we’ll learn some very unknown stories about the original 20,000 Leagues attraction and its impact on park design.
Note! Thanks for joining us. We’ve had technical difficulties the last couple of days getting a new podcast out to you, so we thought we’d see what happened when we sent a previous podcast. This is our first Dis Reviz! It’s from early on, so many of you probably have not heard it before. Make sure you check out our previous podcast on Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which discusses changes at Rise of the Resistance.
