California Adventure is undergoing some construction to revamp the park, which is supposed to include new rides and attractions. Apparently, California Adventure didn't attract the crowds the way the imagineers thought it would so they are giving it another shot. I've been reading for about a year that this is to include a Little Mermaid ride in the lagoon area and have seen concept art in articles. Now they have released a simulation of how the ride is supposed to be on the Little Mermaid DVD special features. The ride should be done sometime within the next couple years and has a $100-million budget. It's about time!
I cannot see how they thought that this park would bring in as much revenue as they had anticipated. It is not nearly as grand as the origional park, and not even as kid friendly, like you'd think. If it were not for the passes I had, I would have never gone to California Adventure over the origional park. The kids are limited heavily on the rides, and there are a few really cool adult rides that are worth it. It is more a stomping ground that is cool to see a couple of times, but nothing compared to its origional version.
