Earlier this month, the Disney California Adventure park at the Disneyland Resort debuted a new ride inspired by The Little Mermaid. BroadwayWorld's Audra Stafford checked out the new attraction at its opening, which was accompanied by some familiar voices.  Check it out below!

Set in and around Ariel's underwater world and located inside a new space on Paradise Pier, The Little Mermaid~Ariel's Undersea Adventure combines the enduring appeal of a classic Disney "dark ride" with wonderful technological innovations to offer guests a personal journey into the scenes of the film.  Created by Walt Disney Imagineering, the attraction features the characters from the beloved motion picture, including many of the original voice talents, and is enhanced with the iconic award-winning songs of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken.  Glen Keane, supervising animator and character designer for Ariel in the film, was a creative consultant in the attraction's development.

The Little Mermaid~Ariel's Undersea Adventure adds to the excitement of Disney Soundsational Summer, a season that offers guests even more ways to make special memories at the Disneyland Resort.
