As you all know soon in Disneyland you have seen it! a pixar's Finding Nemo themed sumbarne ride! This Ride is going to use the same/closely related track as its companion. Here's how the story goes:

When Matt Ouimet became the president of Disneyland Resort, many noticed new activity in the lagoon, the former home of Submarine Voyage. Neptune, one of the eight submarines in the fleet, was moored in the old Submarine Voyage station for inspection by Walt Disney Imagineering in 2004. Rumors spread quickly over the Internet about an attraction based on the Disney/Pixar animated film Finding Nemo.
On July 15, 2005, two days before the official 50th Anniversary of Disneyland, Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage was officially announced at the new Turtle Talk with Crush attraction at Disney's California Adventure by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts president Jay Rasulo. The submarines had closed years earlier with an announcement that an Atlantis ride would be built. Unlike the Sumbarine Voyage, This will not have just fish on strings (O.o) but it would have the characters of finding nemo brought to life in the water. So thus it is rumored that in '07 the Finding NEmo Sumbarine Voyage will open

If you have any new info or want to comment please post it here

Hmm. I was THERE on the days before the 50th and the banners around the lagoon already had Nemo stuff on them.


I heard that the submarines will be specially designed to project the show so it looks like the fish are outside each window, and the only real objects will be sets. Some sort of new technology (probably like what they use for Autopia pre-shows).

uh......suure. I didn't want to say anything about how the fish were projected so i cut that out..

Yeah I have an annual pass to disneyland And i always see that Thing that blocks around the area so you can't see it, It has nemo on it and all Characters from Nemo.

Here's a hint to see it ,kind of, ;) :
Go on Autotopia and Look down when you pass it, You might Have to Lift up But You Can KINDA See it.

Yeah I heard That Once in the Sumberine ride there Were LIVE Mermaids In It.But I don't know if it's true though.

Those were cool.

~Carrie i can confirm that is true, i have my sources :)

There were mermaids, but it was dangerous for them to swim out to the rocks the used to sunbathe on (chemicals damaging their hair in the water, colliding with submarines/track/show pieces).

Anyways, I'm iffy on this attraction. The Submarine Voyage (and 20K) both had a special quality, even though everything looked fake. I'm not sure Nemo can duplicate that quality (plus, do we really need another Pixar ride?).

Well, I must admit, 3D special effects sounds a lot better than fish on strings. xD But then again, I never went there. And if I did, I don't remember a thing of it.

But, even if I did remember it, and remembered enjoying it, no use ranting about how they tore it down to make room for a pixar ride. They were going to take it down and replace it anyway, and the pixar thing just came along later. Really, I think this is a great idea. It'll be a lot of fun for the little kids, looking out the window and seeing Finding Nemo characters. Really, I was never keen on the idea of a pixar film being turned into a ride, but Finding Nemo is different. I always thought that the digitally animated coral in the movie was beautiful, and I've always liked water stuff. I don't really consider this a pixar ride, it's just an underwater ride with pixar characters in it.

This isnt fair.. Urgggh they dont give anything to WDW anymore
Its all about DL, why cant they add this to WDW? LOL!!!! ahh!

I have no problem with the Pixar rides. Let's face it, most of the non-Pixar Disney releases lately have not been very good.

Wouldn't you rather see an attraction based on Cars than one based on Valiant or Home on the Range?

I like the new Pixar attractions based on Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo.

xD WDW is packed already. Most of those who want more in WDW have probably seen everything there is to see there. Well, to some people, it's unfair that those others get to go there so often. So be thankful for being able to spend time in parks. :)

And Neoteny, I agree. I would like very much for there to be a Home on the Range show, just for the yodeling. xD

At least they are going with Nemo instead of an earlier idea, Atlantis.

You know, I would not be surprised if at some point within the next few years the Autopia ride is redesigned and given a Cars theme.

Actually, Atlantis wouldn't be so bad if they based it off the animated movie. It'd be cool to see those flying fish things. ^^

True, but it'd still be cool to see those things flying around in CG. xD

Oh yay ANOTHER Pixar ride... *Hmph*

i hope you know it is submarine not sumarine

Actually, Atlantis wouldn't be so bad if they based it off the animated movie. It'd be cool to see those flying fish things. ^^

Those things would be cool, just the movie itself was not the greatest and Nemo is more appealing to an all-around family, where as Atlantis was more teen/tweens and up type movie.

The difference here is that Finding Nemo is a good movie. Atlantis is Disney's worst "official" animated theatrical feature ever.

The original plan was to base it off Atlantis, and I wish they did. It seems a lot fresher than another Nemo ride. And I thought Atlantis was a pretty good movie... not the best, but still a very well-done film.

Great, another Pixar ride...

You anti-Pixar people need to think about what you're saying.

As I said, most of the non-Pixar Disney releases lately have not been very good.

I like the new Pixar attractions based on Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo at Disney's California Adventure. I don't think an attraction based on Treasure Planet would be nearly as successful.

Don't forget The Wild! Although, I'm sure most of you did, considering it was so insignificant when it came out...

Here's an innovative idea: build a new ride not based on a movie!

That's a good idea, but where? There isn't much room left at Disneyland or DCA. They'd have to remove a ride to take place of another one.

hey here's an idea lets destroy a classic and put some new pixar movie there!

yea..right.

nemo was cute but making an entire ride for it? not so cute, i would rather have ridin the classics,it would be so cool to ride the sumbrine ride before they turn it into nemo.

(slaps person that came up with the idea of replacing the ride)

gr......The Nemo attraction is not replacing the old Submarine attraction at Disneyland. That old attraction closed long ago. The Nemo attraction is replacing the big empty space where the Submarine attraction used to be.

Yup. And the big empty space had a pretty low rider count (although it DID beat Winnie the Pooh!)

How about they just update the original ride with the new technology instead of Nemo... this is part of the reason I prefer Universal to Disney.

-skippyskippy

With the submarines, it was either redo it completely with a new theme, hence Nemo, or try to recreate the classic, but with newer technology. I think people going to the parks nowadays would be more familiar with Nemo than with the classic Submarine Voyage. I would rather see the latter happen more than the former, but who knows with Disney nowadays. Plus this could be a project started under the old management and not the newer one.

Wasn't there a submarine ride at WDW? Or am I thinking of something different?

A new ride or two would be nice in the Magic Kingdom, or if they re-did a ride. -cough- SMALL WORLD.

That ride is soooo outdated. XD

Yes, they have a submarine ride at WDW based of 20K Leagues.

Yup. And the big empty space had a pretty low rider count (although it DID beat Winnie the Pooh!)Haha! Killer!

Keep in mind, that many of the Disney attractions are based on movies. I.E. Splash Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Astroblasters, Star Tours, and many other classics. Don't forget the rides have also inspired some good movies too. I think it would be cool to see a Space Mountain movie, eh? It was a good idea financially to cancel the Atlantis idea, as it wasn't as successful as they hoped. Also, by draining the lagoon the Matterhorn sunk in a little and caused damage to the ride. They had to fix that first before they could re-do the Submarine Voyage. Finding Nemo is a great name to connect with this classic ride. Disney's going to make a fortune. But I agree, they should have left the old one. Hopefully we wont be dissapointed.

When I was at Disneyland a few months ago, I found a spot in the Autopia store where one could peek in and see the empty lagoon and also a few subs! Check this out!:

Hopefully they'll keep the names! At least they probably will keep the numbers.

I can't wait to see what the ride will look like when it opens! :FLipToungeSmilie:

Oho, but there have been many great attractions not based on movies as well. Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Adventure Thru Inner Space, Timekeeper, Carousel of Progress, Autopia, Alien Encounter, Enchanted Tiki Room...

How about return to this quality of fresh and original characters and scenarios?

Yes, going to stuff is always great. But when you create movies that so well in the theaters, why not bring that to the parks where everyone is familiar with it?

Let's see what the target demographic thinks:

"Hey, kids! Let's go see the Carousel of Progress!"

or:

"Hey, Kids, want to go on the new Finding Nemo ride?"

Hmm.

I think we may have discovered the reason for the so-called "Pixarization" of Disneyland.

I love the Carousel of Progress, but you try getting a four-year-old to sit through it, and get back to me.

(Also — Yikes! — have you seen what they did to the Enchanted Tiki Room in Walt Disney World?! :pork:)

Don't forget the All-Original Ride Area of the Park, NOS, with Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion! :D


(Also — Yikes! — have you seen what they did to the Enchanted Tiki Room in Walt Disney World?! )

I know! I saw a video of this and it was terrible - I think Iago interrupting the opening song is a symbolism for how new things shove their ways in uninvited.

Don't forget the All-Original Ride Area of the Park, NOS, with Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion! :DOf course, Pirates is now somehow retroactively based on a Johnny Depp movie, and who knows, maybe Eddie Murphy will be joining the Haunted Mansion any day now!
I know! I saw a video of this and it was terrible - I think Iago interrupting the opening song is a symbolism for how new things shove their ways in uninvited.At least they haven't changed the original Tiki Room at Disneyland. Yet.

Yeah, the new WDW Tiki Room is awful. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Or at least fix it well.

-skippyskippy

Actually, I think their motto on that project was "If it's fixed, break it anyways."

Yeah... great motto, Imagineers.

(You know, I was cracking up when someone posted a picture of bird poo all over the WDW Enchanted Tiki Room sign. I guess the birds don't like the new show!)

-skippyskippy

This isnt fair.. Urgggh they dont give anything to WDW anymore

Actually, WDW is gewtting 3 new rides!

Where Tarzan Rocks used to be (I loved that! :( ) they're making a finding nemo show thing. And where the Timekeeper used to be, is what is rumored to be a Monsters Inc. ride similar to theone in DCA.

what DID they do with the ETR in WDW? srry i'm not the most "active" in disney...

The show begins as it always has, but partway into the first song, the birds are interrupted by the appearance of Iago (the bird from Aladdin), who tells them that people today don't want to see the same old show they've been doing for the past forty years and that they need to get with the times and update their act. Then Zazu (the bird from The Lion King) shows up and argues with Iago for awhile, and eventually the birds stop singing the old Enchanted Tiki Room songs and sing more recent pop songs instead.

It's actually a fun variation and a nice surprise if you've seen the original a bazillion times, but the original show is more fun, not as harsh (Iago's voice is just so irritating!), and just plain nicer!

The original show still exists at Disneyland, but Walt Disney World only has the new version. I prefer the original. The new version is fun once, but then you'll want to go back to the original.

is there a video on it? if yes can i see it?

but why didn't they make a new sumbarined ride for WDW! i mean a Pooh themed Playground wouldn't get as much attention as a new sumbarine ride

I don't mind them filling the lagoon... it's the space issue I care about. They have enough space on that land for maybe 2 Space Mountains! :eek:

...and they're using it for a Pooh Playground.

ok then lets get rid of

Did I say to get rid of the rides based on movies?

Um, even if Skippy did say to get rid of the rides based on movies, POTC and HM wouldn't apply because the movies are based on the rides, not the other way around.

I mean, it does feature an animatronic Johnny Depp....

Well, I guess that's what the kids in the future will think.:rolleyes:

They Shoud Never Give This To WDW Disneyland Deserves A Submarine Voyage Plus WDW Has Too Much Stuff Already They Said That There Gonna Have A Ride And A Show It's Not Fair They Should Change A Few Things In WDW!!!

I'm greatly looking forward to the new ride. I miss the oldl submarine ride, I use to think it was the best thing in the world! :) I'm sure that this will be awesome too, how can't it be? It's Disney! =D
