[Atlantica]

She sure did Baloo! Here is some info:



Kathryn returned to Disney to promote the '83 re-release of Peter Pan, and also resumed her voice-over career, recording as Alice and Wendy for theme park attractions, videogames, and television programs. When a new "Alice" Fantasyland Attraction was created for Disneyland, Kathryn created a new track to replacing the original show audio she had recorded in 1958. In 1992, she returned as Wendy: it is Kathryn who calls out to Peter Pan during the pirate sequence of "Fantasmic!" at Disneyland.

Actually, I'm pretty confident that Jodi Benson will voice her. She has done anything and everything to do with Ariel, from audio books, to dolls, to games, to CDs, park attractions (like shows) . . . so I really really think she will do it! I know it seems a silly thing to think of, as we are very lucky that the ride is being built at all, but this would really, REALLY make it for me.

For people who havnt seen it, here is the video of the ride:

A bit more info on DCA's new ride, The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure. The ride will be located in Paradise Pier, a land that pays tribute to the classic Victorian-Era boardwalks of the early 20th century. This land features aquatic themes, with King Triton's Carousel, Jumpin Jellyfish, and Paradise Bay right next door - Ariel will be right at home.

The building the ride will be housed in is actually modeled after a historic building in Venice Pier, California. The building has the whimsical architecture that was found in early boardwalks of that time. The facade will feature sea motifs, and is also made to resemble a fanciful aquarium next to the shore. Here you can see some concept art -

Vertical construction is well underway and the showbuilding is taking shape... i've seen it in person and the building is pretty big!

As the exciting expansion of Disney California Adventure park moves forward, the Disney Parks Blog continues to give you a front row seat and backstage pass to all of the excitement. Since the expansion was announced, we have opened Toy Story Mania!, Games of the Boardwalk, Mickey's Fun Wheel, Silly Symphony Swings and of course, the nighttime spectacular, "World of Color."

 Now, Walt Disney Imagineering has turned its sights to the next highly-anticipated opening: The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure, coming soon in 2011. In this video, Imagineer Lisa Girolami takes you behind the curtain (or under the waves) to give you a first look at Ariel's world. From the drawing board to the incredible scenery, this is an attraction sure to make a splash with guests.

Thanks for another update. The computer renderings are great. I'm wondering if WDI used such computer renderings for TSPL as well? :lol:  :lol:

The Little Mermaid building looks fantastic. .
