I heard awhile ago (i dont remember where) that the 20k leagues lagoon might be turned into a ride based upon the movie atlantis. This was a few months beforethe movie came out.

Just another of the rumors that pop up about this area. Since the movie was not a big hit, any chance of an Atlantis ride was gone. The Fire Mountain coaster now seems to be planned for Animal Kingdom whenever Beastly Kingdom gets the green light.

A CM friend of mine who did work for the Submarine ride at DL was told that a new ride might be there in for the 50th in 2005.
cool!

Speaking of which...
Speaking of 20,000 rumors,
I recall being told, many moons ago, that electric current was present in the water of the lagoon. Thus, touching the water would "shock" a person. As rediculous as this seems (as it was told to me by a young person), if the ride ran on electricity via the track system in the water, then the presence of electric current doesn't seem all that far-fetched. Any ideas as to the probability of this child's theory?

The DL rumor started when a special event took place at the old Sub Lagoon. Prior to Atlantis' release there was a private party after the park had closed, and they put up a huge banner over the loading area that said something about ATLANTIS. "Welcome to Sea Base Atlantis: or something.
The rumor spread like wild fire after that.
BUT..... Imagineering has said they will completely overhaul 5 classic attractions for DL's 50th anniversary. (what that means is anyones guess)
PoTC just had a major ReHab, with new scenes and animatronics.
HM just had an Overhaul after Nightmare was taken out.
iaSW gets an extensive rehab every year, after they take out the Xmas Decor.
Leaving you to wonder what they mean.

well with the "pirates" new movie due in 2003, it might be a full overhaul of PotC. Maybe new scenes? They've changed scenes before, so it could happen again. maybe tahts the major rehab?

They have, in fact, listed the five attractions that will get redone for the 50th...I don't recall them all, but I know 20K was not one of them, and I know two of them were The Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean...perhaps Space Mountain was on there, too...

Ok now I'm really lost... What is "finding Nemo"? and what is the "red lot". Has this thread really splintered or what?

"Finding Nemo" is the name of one of the remaining movies Pixar will be producing for Disney under their current contract.

PS: Before any new movie, Imagineers trying to save their jobs start pitching ideas for attractions (sometimes new, sometimes "re-purposed") that tie into those movies. The name of the game at Disney these days is "find the budget." An awful lot of rumors you hear are these internal trial balloons, with little real chance of ever bumping into a pot of money.

This could be very true because Atlantis was a very popular movie.
