Thanks to those who complained about new NEMO ride!

[Robo]

I was not expecting too much because of those who posted here about their disappointment with the new Finding Nemo "Clamshell" attraction at the Seas pavilion.

Turns out, we loved it.

Beautiful colors, nice vehicles.

Effects are very high quality.

The first day we rode it, we got to see the amazing deep-water fish (angler fish with the big teeth and "light" on top) that moves and darts about so FAST that I wasn't sure if it was mechanical or a video projection.
Second day, sadly, we knew it was mechanical because it was not working and just sitting there.

The section with Crush and all the turtles and bubbles (the EAC) was an exciting touch (unless you have motion-sickness triggered by visual effects).

When your vehicle reaches the real aquarium tanks and the Nemo characters are "projected INTO" the real water, it is astounding.

(Starfish at the end is very funny.)

Its a classic "dark ride" with many Disney touches and some high-tech advances.

Thumbs up, here.

I agree. I thought the ride was great.

 

[cdrn1]

Agreed. We thought it was well-done and I can't wait to take my little DGD on it. She'll love it!

We loved it too! I thought it was adorable, and we don't even have kids. We liked it so much, we rode it twice in a row. I loved seeing the characters in the real tank at the end.

I don't understand why folks don't like it, but to each his own. I think people aren't happy if they don't get EE, TOT, RnR or some type of "thrill." I, for one, think the new Nemo ride has the magic. But, that's what is so great about Disney. There is something for everyone.

I agree. Not every attraction has to be a major E-Ticket thrill ride.

We loved it. We rode it a total of 5 times on 3 different trips. And each time it is nearly a walk on - but I love it!

my sons loved it, as a matter of fact it was one of my 3 yr olds favourite rides. I'm glad so many people don't like it, it means minimal wait times!!

 

[FigNewton]

I just didn't find it impressive at all until we got to the end with the characters projected into the water. The rest of it just seemed very ho-hum.

 

[disneymama73]

I totally agree, Robo! We thought it was fantastic!

Well, all of us but DD2. She was terrified.

 

[elastigirl]

We loved it. I really liked the queue as well, with the underwater feeling.

The theming of the queue is very cool!

 

[Madsofa]

What's the scare factor? I have two DD's 5 & 3 that love Nemo.

DD2 was afraid of the angler fish (the one with the big teeth and light on top) and the part where you go through the EAC. DDs 5 and 7 thought the whole thing was fantastic.

 

[Stitchfans]

Sounds great. I am looking forward to seeing it.

 

[hniki234]

I can't wait to ride this! It sounds super-cute!

 

[disneydreamer1970]

I can't wait to ride it with DD (6) on Friday!!!! Woo-Hoo!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed Nemo! Well staged, interesting little tidbits of info served up in a delightful manner, & clamobiles have more than adequate room for this chubbo~
Yes, WDW provides a wide range of rides to include a little something for everyone, that's what makes it Disney, n'est pas?
The queuing area is well thought out & delightful!
a big thumbs up from these 2 adults!

We absolutely loved it....from the beginning of the queue to the starfish at the end. I can't even count how many time we went on it during the 7 days we were there.

And for the people who didn't like it: what were you expecting? really? Not every ride needs to go from zero to 500 mph in .5 seconds and do 75 inversions before plunging into water.

Have not visited this attraction yet but I am really looking forward to it. I am not a huge Nemo fan but I really like what they are doing with The Living Seas. It is refreshing to see "new" things like this and Turtle Talk. The Living Seas really needed a make over. It was getting pretty old and shabby.

Looking forward to it in April.

What's with the implications that those of us who didn't like it wanted a thrill ride? I liked the theming of the queue, and I really liked the characters projected into the water, but the bulk of the ride just seemed rather standard and lackluster to me.
