Submarines return to Disneyland

June 18, 2007 · Leave a Comment

After nearly 10 years and $70 million dollars in upgrades and renovations Disneyland’s Submarines is reincarnated as the “Finding Nemo: Submarine Voyage”. The submarines for us folks in Orlando, gets paved over and replaced with a Winnie the Pooh play land, whereas the Anaheim folks gets new subs and a new storyline. Oh well…

Reinvented as the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, the long-dormant and eagerly awaited attraction immerses riders in a 12-minute journey through a coral reef, exploding volcano and shark-infested wreck as they search for Nemo, the orange-and-white clown fish of movie fame. With the impressive animation and spotlessly reconditioned bright-yellow submersibles, park-goers might just forget that the area of the theme park containing the ride — which Walt Disney himself helped conceive — was nearly paved over.

Here’s some in ride video someone posted on Youtube – Part 1 Part 2

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Safari gets a change

Rumor is that the narration on the popular Animal Kingdom ride has been changed slightly to remove bits from the fictional warden and British doctor’s chatter. Now it seems the “drivers” will be allowed to flex their acting muscle a bit more. Which personally I don’t mind, I always thought the “plot” for the Kilimanjaro Safari’s weren’t really needed. We’re driving around looking at animals for god sake, why do we need a faux adventure/rescue plot?
