/* Tony Baxter’s Original Concept (1994) */
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:

{{Quotation| “Our attractions are more about the emotion and environments that you come through and I just didn’t want to take the good with the bad just because that is what you saw in the theater. We set the ride up by showing you two people that belong in two different worlds and 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"/>}}
