Just a guess.
IS that a mermaid playing a flute?

Yeah, you can see them here as well -- I think they're supposed to represent Ariel's sisters (Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella and Alana)
It looks like the first mermaid on the top left in this picture ^

^ Yeah it's one of Ariel's sisters. On the elevation concept art you can see that the arch will have the sister's near the top of the arch as part of it. Here's the art for reference

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. mycroft16 on Twitter
Yet, somehow people remember the name of New Orleans Square (why not just call it Mardis Gras Land?), Pirates of the Caribbean (why not just call it the Pirates Boat Ride?), It's A Small World (Doll Boat Ride?), etc, etc.
Seriously, for a site that has so many sticklers for detail and theming........"Carsland" seems like a big drag. I guess that being a Disney apologist really IS more important to many on here than remaining true to excellent Disney theming, etc, etc.![]()

Because your suggestions (Doll Boat Ride) are straight to the literal point, not the thematic point. It's the thematic point that is important. Cars is the film that the land is based on. Call it Cars Land. It contains a place called Radiator Springs, much as the entire film world of Cars is not Radiator Springs, but encompasses much more than just Radiator Springs.
The name isn't a literal thing, it's a thematic thing. Pirates of the Caribbean is the theme, the story. It's not about it being a boat ride. With Cars Land, the line between literal and thematic elements is blurred.
