Mermaids in Pirates of the Caribbean (pics)

Pirates had a one-day refurb this week, during which new red lights were added to the queue, and a new mermaid skeleton was added to the beach. There are also bubbles and projections of underwater mermaids just before the beach, but those are hard to capture by photo.

Aren't those lanterns at the loading gates new?
