Animation Turns Into an Attraction at Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid

One of the highly anticipated attractions coming to New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park is 

Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid.

The attraction, a seaside grotto beneath the castle of Prince Eric, is where guests enter the world of Ariel and her friends for an adventure filled with songs from the classic film. But you don’t have to wait until it opens to take a look inside. Walt Disney Imagineering just shared this video with us, in which Imagineer Eric Miller explains how the team is creating a realistic underwater environment for Ariel that’s inspired by the film.
This amazing and detailed process involves sketches, models, computer technology, construction and artistry. See for yourself!

Still looks a bit early to say what we think bout it, right? Despite that, it is great to know that the grand opening of this new ride is approaching really fast (yes, it has not been officially announced yet, but many rumors say that it will be open by fall 2012)!
