Looking for...Mermaid test concept from Pirates?

[Treakyone]

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a particular image that made the rounds a couple years ago.

It's a very dark photograph of an possible animatronic test they did for Pirates of the Carribean for the mermaid effect (which was eventually shelved for the projection system). Several websites featured it, but google images yields a lot of non relevant results.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Bump because I would also like to see this.

I think the effect is still there, just doesn't work.

Yes, the effect is still there. It's not an AA, but a glow in the water. It works about 33% of the time I go on the ride.

Not sure about the OP, but this is what I was referring to.

Nope, this wasn't a picture of the current effect.

It's a photo of the cavern with a very dark "stand in" of a mermaid that was going to be an animatronic. A very rare picture taken during the planning stages.

I've never heard of or seen this photo. Good luck.

Not the one, but impressive nonetheless! Thanks! It was a live photo as if someone walked into the caves and snapped a picture of this dark cutout sticking out of the water.

are you sure your not thinking of 20,000 leagues

Nope. It was Pirates, before the Mermaid projections were installed.

This one? @Treakyone

Let me know if it won't open for you and I will try posting it differently. DB changed the rules yesterday

That is the one! Thank you so much. I was starting to feel like I was going crazy.
