"Little Mermaid" Ride Coming to California Adventure?

It appears that there's a delicious rumor that "Voyage of the Little Mermaid" attraction will be coming to Disney's California Adventure. With an estimated price tag of $100 million, this is going to be a part of DCA's rehab.


Artist sketches show Mermaid riders sitting in clamshell vehicles similar to the Haunted Mansion’s doombuggies, but Screamscape says it’s still possible an overhead track similar to Peter Pan’s Flight dark ride might be employed.

With a heavy emphasis on the movie’s soundtrack, Voyage of the Little Mermaid storyboards show the ride traveling through five scenes representing every major musical number:
* Part of Your World
* Poor Unfortunate Souls
* Under the Sea
* Kiss the Girl
* Part of Your World (Redux)


I just hope that the hype doesn't result in anything similar to the disappointing Nemo attraction at The Seas With Nemo and Friends in Epcot.
