That way, there's no way to head but up.... :wink: :lol: :mickey:
Exactly! :lol:
I am planning on following MousePlanet's coverage of today's TLM event and following tomorrow's Disney Parks Blog coverage of ST2's opening...

How awesome is it that they had Jodi Benson herself sing at the opening of TLM attraction?! :ariel:

It's a nice touch (sorry the ride isn't up to the same caliber)...

Yep, you can't blame her for the ride... though the lack of any reason to hate Ursula kinda makes the rest of them look racist for hating her since she's black. :D

Ursula looked kinda purple to me in the bits they showed from the rides.

I remember that scene originally from the film, and without the current and bubbles swirling upward around her it just looks goofy and stupid...

My mom and I stated that Ariel has Dole Whip hair in that scene and that's all we will associate it with.

Wow kind of surprised to hear the negative review of TLM. I really thought this attraction had a lot of potential following the impressive looking building.

Sadly, it looks like all the art presented was all the content for the ride. Which is why it went from "This will look cool" to "Are you f*(@!ing kidding me?", which is also what I told the survey lady at the end. :D
