Mermaid's Lagoon, continued
Here we approach
the entrance - don't worry about the ropes, we'll be let right in. :)
The nicest detail in this is the use of water, which splashes all over
the nooks and crannies in the entryway. Mermaids like it damp you know.
Now here's a much
more regal way to treat King Triton - as the entry hall icon for the
attraction. Notice the bubbling water walls behind him - a nice touch.
Looking closer into
the above shot, we can see both a proclamation...
...and the King
himself. Beautiful detailing isn't it?
Now lets take a
look inside! Notice the reflective ceiling? That's just the water's
surface, as you are below! Look at all the wonderful detailing in every
area.
A peek into the
background of the above shot shows Fastpass for the Blowfish Balloon
Race ride...
And here is the
Blowfish Balloon Race ride up close. Note the fence work and even the
trashcan. You can understand why the comparison to Fantasyland is quite
accurate - although these may be simple carnival rides, they have that
Disney touch in detailing that was ignored in the new Anaheim park (more
on this in a moment).
A look into the
above shot shows the detail in the area - from the lamposts to the wall
treatments. Even the lighting is beautifully done. It really takes you
into another environment doesn't it?
