The models are scanned in order to make the final product as accurate as possible.
In addition to the vehicles being made in Japan, the various sets and props came from various parts of the world. From Japan to Canada, it was a worldwide effort.
King Tritons head is actually very small. The hair makes it look like he has a big head.
Larry Nikolai made the impressive mural in the loading area and its style reflects the art style of the turn of the century. He hand painted it personally, going as far as using paintbrushes with one hair on it.
If you read the actual story of the Little Mermaid, its not set in a Caribbean like place. More like a snowy region. And the story is really dark in nature. A lot of adventures by the Imagineers was funny to hear (like how their cars got snowed in)
Yeah, they had way too much fun in Glendale.
And it was worth it as DCA finally gets the ride it was missing since day one.
I asked Lisa if any other ride system was considered before the Ominover system, but she said the Ominover was pretty much the intended system to use. And as it turns out, we are pretty much neighbors as I live in Torrance and she lives in Long Beach (both cities are not far from each other.)
Thanks for stopping by!
