The SeaCabs do not operate because they were poorly designed.
The vehicles do not have doors, and thus for safety, they rely on a mat-intrusion system. This system can be set off by someone simply dangling their foot out of the vehicle, and so the ride was constantly comming to an abrubt hault.
The constant stopping was hell on CM's working the attraction, attempting to walk the moving platform. Also, the speils given during load and unload were not automated and required a CM walking on the platform to talk into a stationary micrphone while still keeping up with the platform and getting guests into their vehicles.
So, from a CM perspective, when this ride closed, it was "Good riddence" from the Seas crew.
Maybe they're considering a re-design or something, but I doubt it will open before SPACE.

I would like to see it come back, but as has been stated by some of my fellow members, it would only probably come back if it were completely renovated. (at least the cars that is) They could easily do what they've done for so many other attractions and just use the same track and just change certain elements of the ride. Well, we'll see what happens.

I get it too and was wondering if anyone else did to!:lol:
As for the Cabs, unless they have decided to close the ride, for budget, and instead of reopening them now, re-do the trains for a while more. It would cost cheeper and still would solve the CM problems.

The riding in the cabs through the water tunnel was very cool and I enjoyed it very much except that there was one problem...it was very short. As soon as you sat down and got situated you had to collect all of your belongings and get off (not to mention all of the CM problems listed earlier). I was told by a CM that they were considering making this a walk through? Any truth or thoughts on this? I think that this would be neat as well because you would have a lot more time to look around at all of the sea life (although I'm wondering if this would cause a congestion through this area, if it were feasible). Maybe they could put in an airport moving flat platform (sorry I forget the name) where you stand on it and it moves you with side railings. If this ever broke down it wouldn't be a problem because they could simply completely turn off the moving belt and everyone could walk through on their own.

The Sea Cabs weren't built just for a ride.
Disney had a method to their madness.
The Sea Cabs helped to evenly distribute the park Guests to the Sea Base Alpha elevators so 500 people didn't converge on the elevators all at once. Right now you have 2 options, you can either watch the movie or go straight to Sea Base Alpha. The 2 options help Castmembers a little by keeping the guests in 2 groups thus helping to minimize the Stampede.
If the Sea Cabs come back, and I hope they do because it gave me a nice little sit-down and cool air blast, then we will probably go back to having to watch the Movie again...and it rained and it rained and it rained...the deluge.
