Any Word On When The Nemo Ride Will Open?

[ColleenLovesMinnie]

Has anyone heard when the new Nemo ride will open in the Living Seas Pavillion? We are planning a trip at the end of August and we were hoping it would be open then. The rumors have it opening sometime Fall 2006 but I know sometimes attractions open earlier than planned. My 5 yo DD would love it!

Thanks for any info!

Can anyone give me the heads up on what the ride is like. This is the first I heard of it - I know that it hard to believe

 

[jaycns]

Just want to be here if/when an answer arrives. Finding Nemo is a family favorite so we would love to be able to go on this one!

Is there really going to be a Nemo ride? I thought it was just an attraction. I'm sure it will be interesting, though! My DD loves Nemo!

The Seas with Nemo & Friends Brings Familiar Characters to Life Inside Epcot Aquarium

The Seas with Nemo & Friends, a whimsical and visually stunning attraction for guests of all ages, is scheduled to open at Epcot in Fall 2006. Featuring technology that for all appearances has the stars of "Finding Nemo" swimming amid the live marine life of the huge aquarium in The Living Seas pavilion, the attraction is an adventure that picks up where the motion picture left off.

The undersea voyage begins aboard "clamobiles" in a colorful coral reef setting. Guests first meet Mr. Ray and his class on a field trip and soon learn that Nemo has wandered off.

The journey to find Nemo continues as familiar characters such as Dory, Bruce, Marlin, Squirt and Crush help with the search along the way. These deep sea friends inhabit a variety of vibrant vignettes, including the actual aquarium -- one of the world's largest saltwater aquariums -- which contains more than 65 species of marine life.

In the musical finale of the attraction, Nemo is happily reunited with his class and friends.

Upon exiting the attraction, guests can explore the rest of the pavilion, which is home to "Turtle Talk with Crush," the smash-hit recent addition featuring the movie's laid-back sea turtle, who interacts with guests in real-time, unscripted conversations; Bruce's Shark World, an interactive area with colorful graphics and fun facts about sharks; and live marine life in both the large aquarium and specialized exhibits.

We are going mid September and I was wondering if this would be open then also. It sounds like it will be a great addition to Epcot. I hope it will as I know my DD LOVES Nemo!!!!

Cool! I'm glad there is going to be another attraction at EPCOT that will be interesting to my young children!

Count me in also for hoping its complete in the fall. Last year, the whole pavillion was closed while we were there.

subscribing....my DD3 loves Nemo. We too were there last Oct and could not enter the area. She'll love it if it's open the first week of October.

Subscribing - I'll be there in Sept. so here's hoping! I was sad to see the "ride element" leave the Living Sea's way back when...so I'm glad it's coming back in a re-imagined form.

 

[PhotobearSam]

Can't wait... We will be there in October for 2 weeks and hope it is open for our friends first trip to the World.

 

[PercussionGirl]

were definatly doing to miss this (going in july)...but it just gives me an excuse to go back next year ! unless they make a soft opening? anyway more info would b brilliant

 

[ReggieB]

We chose not to go to Living Seas last May, as we thought we would be able to go on the next trip...it was closed...arrrggghhhhh! So I am really excited to think that it might actually be open our next trip AND that they will have added a ride element to it. My DS5 is going to love it!

 

[Lindy Loo]

My DD will LOVE this, any one got any more info please?

 

[Booknut]

subscribing...we were there last September and the whole pavilion was closed so we have a lot to look forward to!

 

[LilyStar]

My fiance is busily working on this ride/new attraction actually. I know that they will still be putting final touches on it in August, so I would doubt a soft opening until at least September.

 

[CJK]

Hmmm. We'll be there the first week of October. I wonder if there will be a soft opening then. The thing is, we're NEVER been able to hit soft openings (ie. Mission: Space), so I'm not holding my breath! LOL Fingers still crossed though!!

 

[ColleenLovesMinnie]

Well based on what LilyStar says I'm doubtful we'll be there for any soft opening since we'll be there 8/21-8/27. That's disappointing for us since we missed the soft opening of the Stunt Show in MGM last year by a week - oh, well, it's an excuse to go back again next year!!
