    Dumb idea. Leave it alone.

      Agreed. It was a “what if” article anywho 🙂

    We love The Little Mermaid ride, please don’t change it! My little girls always want to ride it twice. It’s one of our must rides when we go to Disney. They aren’t nearly as familiar with the Nemo characters, it would be a huge bummer.

    1. Alex Lue

      I totally agree

    Def should not replace it, it’s one of the best rides there!

    1. Alex Lue

      It is! Don’t worry, she isn’t going anywhere! It was just a funny idea, not any news!

    Why are you even entertaining this?? There’s already (a lame) Nemo attraction at Disneyland. Just leave Ariel’s Under the Sea Adventure alone and fix the one at Disneyland.

  5. Hell No.It’s Currently My Favorite Ride On Paradise Pier. I Don’t Do Coasters,(other than Thunder& Indy).Plus She’s My Sisters Most Favorite Princess In The World.Please Don’t Take The Magic Of Our Little “Ariel” Away!

      Don’t worry, she’s not leaving! It was just a “what if” article!

    Don’t replace it, or replace it with a better little mermaid ride! The little mermaid ride could have been so much better. Finding Dory does not need its own ride. Finding Nemo was excellent, Finding Dory not so much.

    Noo i love the Ariel ride and so do al my friends and family. It’s so detailed and very fun. I really love Nemo, too, so maybe Disney should change things up a bit, or add it somewhere else, or replace it with a different ride.

    Wow! Seems that readers *really* don’t like the idea of replacing the Little Mermaid ride with something else.
    Is there a way to classify and introduce articles like this that ask “what if…” in a way that would make it more clear the article does not reflect plans by Disney?
    A statement of some kind in the first sentence that says something like, “this article is pure speculation and does not reflect plans or rumors of plans by WDI or the Walt Disney Company”.
    I wonder how many people didn’t understand the idea behind the article until reading your reply to their comments.
    Maybe a “Armchair Imagineering” category?
    If so, I’d like to see readers ideas/opinions about possible addition/ replacement of attractions.
    Either way, I enjoy ITM, and hope you’ll be publishing for many years!

    We did include a warning in the article, but most commentators are just leaving their thoughts without actually reading, haha.

  11. I love new rides but stop cutting old favorites especially the ones young children love. There is not a lot for the young at this park so leave the ones they can do! Sue

    Please leave the little mermaid ride just as it is! I am not a little kid. I am a grandma and love to even stand in line and look at all the construction and details of the building. They took away triton’s carousel and all the beautiful fish and sealife; please keep the little mermaid!
