Just read CMs are getting a chance to ride Little Mermaid tonight. Reports are it's almost 8 minutes long, and visually amazing. Can't wait!
Ok. That's still pretty long for a dark ride. Thanks for the clarification. - HiddenMickeys

The word is that John Lassiter asked that the Omnimover be slowed down from the original speed in order to have a more enjoyable experience. Nice that they are willing to sacrific capacity for ride quality! - garrlusdland

@garrlusdland, do you mean Bob Iger? John Lasseter is Pixar. - CxD_CM

@CxD-you are right, he is Pixar, but he is also currently the Principal Creative Advisor for Walt Disney Imagineering, so he does get a say in things like TLM now. Pretty cool, huh? - MinnieYooHoo

Ya I remember hearing he had a part in it but I didnt know he would have a say to control the attraction speed. Thats really cool! - CxD_CM

Iger was involved too, but I'm pretty sure that slowing it down was from Lassiter. - garrlusdland
