VIDEO: Mermaids Swim Into Pirates of the Caribbean at the Magic Kingdom
After many months of speculation and Disney teasing us that something from “On Stranger Tides” would be added to Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at the Magic Kingdom, the mermaids have arrived. A new projection effect has been added making it appear that the mermaids are in the water, accompanied by a physical effect that pushes water up to simulate the fin moving just beneath the water’s surface. A lot of this can’t be seen in out video, but you can get a good idea of what to expect:
The projection effect is joined by mermaid singing and a new mermaid skeleton on the beach.
What do you think of this addition to Pirates of the Caribbean?
