Pictures of Nemo Ride-subs are doing practice runs

[Dizneydaz]

The fence is finally down around the submarine lagoon and I was able to get these pictures on Wed. (5-16). This brings back memories! Enjoy!

Thanks for the Post

I so need a trip to DL now.

How exciting! I was kinda bummed before since we weren't going until October, but we'll be there later that week that it opens now! So excited!

Sure does bring back a lot of childhood memories, of course I think this is going to be way better then the old ride.

You might get lucky. Disneyland always does a soft opening for their new rides. You might luck out.

I know that DL is doing a special AP preview event on June 6 and June 7th. APH have to enter online for a chance to win. So, depending on when you are going, you might have a chance. I would say that June 6-7th are out (they say they are strictly enforcing the ride times) but maybe, from the 7-10, it'll be soft opened. When are you going?

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

Great photos!

This will be our first ever visit to Disneyland in August. What exactly happens on this attraction? We have been to WDW several times but there is nothing like this there.

I'm sure the concept will be very similar to the old submarine ride but with Nemo characters added in. Basically you enter into the sub from the top and sit facing the portholes. Then you "dive" under and see the sea life around you. (You are actually on a track, and not submerged). You make the 1/2 loop around the lagoon and then go under the waterfall (not running in my pix) and see more sea life. (I already have my DD7 convinced that the fishes we could see from on top are real! ) In the old version there was an underwater volcano starting to erupt so we had to hurry back to port!

That's the basics of the ride, but I'm sure they'll be alot of Nemo stuff involved (Years ago when it first closed the rumor was that it would be Little Mermaid.) It's just nice that they finally brought it back!

Thanks DisneyDaz - so the fish you see aren't real then? Sorry, just need to know as I have a fish phobia!

Oops-sorry did I spoil it? Okay, so they are real, but they are very friendly. Just don't look too hard or you may see the cables (that's how they used to be attached) Of course the seagulls, on the buoy, are real. Hope you don't have a bird phobia, as well!

Disneydaz here is a pic of the countdown from the same day. Great pics your dd wears the same headbands as my dd7 too.

[victorandbellasmom]

Great pictures, thanks for posting. We never did the sub many years ago as the lines were always so long. I've warned the kids about the lines this time around and we're all so excited.
