This summer Disneyland has launched two fabulous new rides – Ariel’s Undersea Adventure , bringing to life the characters from the classic animated movie "the Little Mermaid"; and the amazing new Star Tours, which updates one of Tomorrowland's most popular rides by making it 3D - along with new storylines.


這個夏天,迪士尼樂園推出了兩個神話般的新遊樂設施- 美人魚的海底探險之旅,從經典動畫電影“小美人魚” 帶出生命的奧秘,以及一個在明日世界裡最受歡迎的而且隨著最新故事情節的3D遊樂設施的新明星之旅。

 

La JaJa Kids was lucky to be among the first to experience the brand new ride at the Disney California Adventure ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure!


丫丫園地能成為第一批在迪斯尼加州冒險樂園體驗到全新的遊樂設施〜美人魚的海底探險之旅, 感到十分榮幸!


       

 

We spent a little time first at the Golden Zephyr & Mickey's Fun Wheel ~ the giant ferris wheel contains a sliding station for each cart, adding a whole new thrill to a normal ride.  We had to skip it for the wait is way too long!  Almost half of the park was blocked off to make space for the Cars 2 debut Grand Prix Race.  Looks like it's gonna be a huge one!

 

我們在黃金旋風車和米奇巨型摩天輪等候了一會兒, 這個巨型摩天輪的每個車廂都能自行滑動, 非常有創意. 可惜等候的隊伍實在太長, 所以這次我們沒有機會嘗試. 另外, 迪士尼隆重其事地準備了一場賽車比賽來推廣他們暑假的熱門電影"Cars 2", 所以大部分的娛樂設施都暫停開放.

 


   

 

The wait time was 45 minutes when we arrived, but when we exited the line grew to a 60-minute wait; Our little one was excited about being "greeted" by Ariel on the wall mural...

雖然告示牌標出等候時間為45分鐘, 可是我們仍然等了將近1個小時! 小孩子們為將能跟Ariel打招呼都感到無比的興奮, 沿著迂迴的路徑前進, 我們終於來到入口與Ariel見面囉!


After meandering around the building for half an hour, we finally arrived at the main entrance and was greeted by Ariel...on the wall. An 86-foot long, hand-painted mural greets guests in teh loading area of the attraction. The mural depicts many of the characters guests will see within the attraction including Prince Eric, King Triton, Sebastian, Flounder and, of course, Ariel.

一幅長達86尺的巨型壁畫迎面而來, 上面栩栩如生地手繪出我們將會見到的各位卡通人物, 包括Prince Eric, King Triton, Sebastian, Flounder, 當然還有主角Ariel! 我們坐在七彩繽紛並有貝殼雕刻裝飾的遊覽車上經歷了5分半鐘的奇妙的人魚公主旅程.


 

 

The underwater scenes are packed with color and characters.

**絢麗的色彩和不同的卡通人物填滿了整個水底場景**

Ursula is the largest Audio-Animatronics figure in teh show at 7.5-feet tall and 12-feet wide. She also has a squash-and-stretch function in her torso and flexible materials so she can bounce along with the music.


Ursula是最大的影音動畫人物! 她的八爪魚身軀能隨著音樂而跳動!



All in all, the ride was a vivid depiction of the classic movie and was highly enjoyable, what we miss is the interactive element that can place the audience in the scene. The part of the clamshell, I mean teh cart, slowly "sinks" into the water, creating an under-water experience for the audience was particularly fascinating. Our 5-years-old enjoyed the ride tremendously, and she asked for a repeat ride as soon as we walked out the hall!


我們非常享受這個描繪出電影經典場面的旅程, 它讓我們置身在奇妙的海底世界裡. 當貝殼車緩緩沉入海底的時候, 我們都被眼前的一切所迷住了! 還沒走出門口, 我5嵗的女兒已經迫不及待地希望可以在體驗一次這個旅程!
