Changes

Plans for a little Little Mermaid dark ride attraction date back to the opening of Euro Disney (now Disneyland Paris) in 1994. At the time the park opened , a spot in Fantasyland was set aside for a Little Mermaid dark ride<ref name= "Baxter"> http://disneyandmore.blogspot.com/2009/05/disneyland-paris-little-mermaid.html </ref>. Due to budget constraints as well as the need to add attractions with higher capacities however, plans for the Little Mermaid attraction were eventually dropped<ref name= "Baxter"/>.

Created by Imagineer Tony Baxter, this unbuilt Little Mermaid dark ride would use a ride system similar to [[Peter Pan's Flight]] in order to allow guests to "dive" in and out of the water<ref name="forgot"> http://disneyandmore.blogspot.com/2009/05/disneyland-paris-little-mermaid.html </ref> . Instead of following the story of the Little Mermaid chronologically, Tony Baxter's Little Mermaid attraction was to immerse guests in the best scenes from the movie. According to Baxter:

The attraction would begin with guests passing a shipwreck before arriving at Ariel who was looking longingly at {{Quotation| “Our attractions are more about the human world. The mermaid then claimed emotion and environments that "someday you come through and I'll be a part of that world”. After passing by Prince Eric's boat, Sebastian would tell Ariel just didn’t want to take the good with the bad just because that life is better under what you saw in the seatheater. At this point We set the attraction's ride vehicles would dive under water where they would witness Sebastian up by showing you two people that belong in two different worlds and his friends performing the song they want to be together. The first major scene was "Under the Sea"as it validates the notion that we are beneath the surface in their world and this is contrasted by the villainy of Ursula in her dark grotto. Ultimately we needed to be honest to the emotions and feelings of the story rather than just laying it all out again" <ref name= "forgot"/>}}

Tony Baxter's Little Mermaid attraction would begin with guests passing a shipwreck before arriving at Ariel, who was looking longingly at the human world. The mermaid then claimed that "someday I'll be a part of that world”. After passing by Prince Eric's boat, Sebastian would tell Ariel that life is better under the sea. At this point the attraction's ride vehicles would dive under water where they would witness Sebastian and his friends performing the song "Under the Sea".  Continuing on, guests would pass by Ursula's two minion eels, before entering the sea witch's lair. Here, Ursula and Ariel make a deal that allowed allows Ariel to turn into a human, in exchange for her voice. As a part of the deal , if the princess was not able to get Prince Eric to kiss her, she would become beholden to Ursula. As a menacing instrumental version of “Kiss the Girl” and “Poor Unfortunate Souls” played in the background guests would emerge from underwater where they would find themselves in the middle of the battle between Ursula, King Trident and Prince Eric. After the sea witch was defeated, guests would then see Scuttle who would ask Flounder "any kissing?" At this point in the attraction guests would enter the Kiss the Girl scene from the film. Here, Prince Eric and Ariel were serenaded by Sebastian and other marine life. Finally, after passing by the now human Ariel and Prince Eric waving from their boat, guests would enter the unloading area.
