Refurbished Grizzly River Run Re-Open at DCA - Video

DCA Grizzly River Run re-opened last week after long weeks of refurbishment. Although no bears audio-animatronics were added - contrary to the rumor which was saying that they will add the AA bears of HKDL Grizzly Gulch coaster - but the ride looks great and Dan McNeely just filmed a great HD video showing off some of the new details and most of all the great lighting the Imagineers put in place. All aboard, choose to watch it in high resolution, and don't worry, you will NOT get wet!

Also released, the visual of a Larry Nicolai painting created in tribute to the ride. Larry said: "I really wanted to do a commemorative painting of Ariel that was both a portrait of her and also summed up the attraction in an allegorical way. I couldn’t cram every fish from “Under the Sea” into the composition, but her friends Flounder and Sebastian are there, along with some specific props that reference back to the attraction". Prints of this artwork will be available at a Disney's The Little Mermaid Product Debut & Signing event Saturday, June 11, 2011 between 10am to 1pm at Treasures in Paradise at Disney California Adventure. Larry also said that "a print of the concept painting that I did a couple of years ago for the attraction’s 86-foot-long load area mural" will also be available.
