The Official Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage Thread! *Merged Threads-Possible Spoilers*

[DisneyResurrection]

How about bass fishing?

[DisneyMouse25]

Yes I hope that the new submarine ride will be as fun as the old submarine ride. Granted, the old ride was somewhat dated, but to me it was a great ride, which I have missed for many years. Heres to whatever Disney Imagineers put in that Lagoon!

[Stephen]

OK, this is just a stupid idea which would defenatly cause some major damage to the lagoon, but why don't they just fill it up and run it as it is? It would be a great "work in progress" ride! :D. lol J/K

[JohnnyB80]

I disagree in making it based on Finding Nemo. Not every attraction has to be based on a movie. Rumor has it that it was closed years ago to be given an Atlantis overlay, but because the movie did so poorly at the box office, why make a ride of it? Even when it closed it wasn't based on 20K Leagues.

It seems that WDI has lost touch with a lot of their creativity and rely too heavily on a box office hit to bring in new rides (example: Monster's Inc. dark ride).

They should come up with a great original submarine concept and throw in subtle tributes to Nemo just to keep the little kiddies entertained. Let's not forget that the ride isn't built in Fantasyland, but rather is built in Tomorrowland and thus should be based on the exploration of [liquid] space.

[Stephen]

Yeah, I don't like it too, but as far as we know, it's supposed to be a scientific voyage to the Australian Current, and the Nemo chars just pop in.

[Stephen]

How about a 20,000 leagues under the sea attraction? We'd just plaster a "Natilus" body over the current subs and redecorate inside! Add and delete a bunch of scenery (animatronics) and viola! 20,000 Leagues under the Sea!

The only thing they where sure on was that the subs had to come back.. so what are your thoughts?

I have heard the same from disney fire fighters who have said that the lagoon might not even be a finding nemo sub ride. But indeed they are pondering on the thought of finding nemo. Also in times to come they are going to be putting up barricades on the monorail track going through the lagoon area so guests cant track progress.

[GreenLantern13]

Barricades are pointless. people will find the cracks and get pictures. they might as well just put a tent over the area so no one can see anything(if they wanted to, this is the route they'd probably take).

Frankly, I'm skeptical of both MisterDooDah's and Hockeyman's posts. I will only believe it when I see it, or a reputable source that has at least a decent track record reports it. Even then I will be very, very surprised...


Like that person who swore up and down to us on the old boards that Disney was going to paint brown stripes on the exterior of Space Mountain and was "in the know" because he worked at the park.


Just because you work at the park doesn't make you "in the know", and that the person you talked to on your break is "in the know" (or being truthful) either. Just because the person isn't in costume doesn't make them "upper management". And many, many times castmembers just say any old thing to see what kind of response they will get from you. The more gullible you look, the more outrageous the lie will be. What the heck do Firefighters know about what the imagineers are doing, or planning to do, or have/haven't been approved to do at the park? It's just as likely the guy pushing a broom and wiping up child vomit off the dock in Frontierland will know something.


There's just no way to put up barricades along the monorail tracks. What are they supposed to attach it to? The cost would be prohibitive. It would be like putting up barricades as high as the AstroOrbitor when Buzz was being built. Many "spy shots" of the facade of the building were taken from that ride (I know, I was the first to think of it and Al Lutz posted the shots on MiceAge) The sub lagoon is about 1/4 of the show. They're really not that concerned about us seeing what they're doing.

i agree. one idea....they could pretty easily just like....have a series of "L" shaped bars coming out from underneath the track where the monrail dosent touch and have them holding up tarp type material or boards or whatever and that could theoretically work....

maybe i will draw a picture later and post it but tell me if you understand what im saying first....

We also know that the Nemo project was approved by TDA or whoever approves those things. Nemo also hasn't been officialy announced yet, so I'm not all that surprised that a Disney "upper managment" worded that the way he did. Judging by the past, Nemo's coming, you can bet on it

A thought, perhaps we should make it a requirement to have a source when posting a "new" rumor sort of like citing a source in a research paper? Certainly would make you a more refutable source, and would clean out all those half-brained I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THEY'RE ADDING A LOOP TO SPACE MOUNTAIN!!! rumors.

some of the officials in the disney fire department also told me that disney is not sure what kind of ride they are going to make out of the lagoon area. When they had the subs in the dry dock area they where just testing to see if the subs where still going to hold water. One sub actually failed the test. The seawolf was actually leaking water after many years of not being serviced. Also I have been told they are going to be putting up barricades along the monorail track to prevent guests from seeing the progress being made in the lagoon. this is just what i have been told from people in the inside.

[Stephen]

Well, we'll see next photo update.

[rytheguy]

I don't care what they are doing in the lagoon. I just want my subs back in any form!!
