'Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!'

[drew81]

I’m getting the vibe of Voyage of the Little Mermaid. Puppets will still be used. 20 minute show to keep knocking them out.

 

[jamos140]

This is cool with me. Shorter but still the original music and puppets.

the only update i can come up with is finding dory…the musical

So, is it just going to take them until 2022 to set up the projector?

Bob's Fish Fry: A Musical Dining Experience!

 

[TYOTimer]

What an awesome coaster! Sadly I have not ridden it yet, I also have not ridden Hagrids coaster. The pandemic has really messed up my life. I am a big fan of Universal and SeaWorld and yes, WDW.

You can be a fan and get mad at changes even though they are gonna do what they are gonna do.

But, yes, it now looking like my dollars will be spent on Universal and SeaWorld going forward even though, as a family we had three WDW platinum passes for about 13 years before the pandemic hit.

Velocicoaster is insane. I love the coaster to death (even if it does give me Vertigo if I sit on the right side of the train), and is probably only matched by RMCs.

But, I have mid level passes for all 3, and WDW has ticked me off to the point that I barely go anymore

Bob's Fish Fry: A musical dining experience!

It’s 130 dollars per head and they only serve fish sticks!

I wouldn’t be shocked if Nemo turns into a Legend of the Lion King type show.

 

[disneygeek90]

Nemo gets a weird opinion here, but I quite liked it. I hope they don't water it down too much and keep the puppets and acrobatics of the show.

 

[Jon81uk]

So basically a watered down version.
My prediction will be no live singing, little to no equity and a much shorter show.

I expect this to be the case. I think guest feedback for a while has been that the show was too long. Would be a shame to lose the live singing though.

 

[dreamfinder]

Am I the only one who didn't find the current version to play to packed houses? Most times when we went there were still plenty of seats in the upper sections. Unless we were the abnormalities I don't see a benefit to cutting the show length and packing more shows in.

We liked it as is, our DS always enjoyed it.

 

[mf1972]

they’re making changes just for the halibut

 

[JohnD]

I'm just really curious to see what they do. Indiana Jones? Zootopia copy/paste from overseas? Something totally unexpected would be nice like new zoo sections but I'm a sucker for animals.

My pick would be to retheme to S. America. Then retheme Dinosaur to Indy (it's the same track as Indy in DL), except theme this one to S. America also, maybe around the Mayan idol? Throw in dangerous animals (AAs not real) like piranha, or something.

From the DPB -

I'm happy to see this but also ***** off at the other site which gave the impression Nemo was gone for good (everything removed and "destroyed"). That's "news"?

 

[EeyoreFan#24]

There taking everything that still works and combining it with everything that still works from little mermaid to make one kinda working show.

Boom upgrade.

 

[rangerbob]

I was hoping that they were going to bring back Tarzan Rocks.

I'm happy to see this but also ***** off at the other site which gave the impression Nemo was gone for good (everything removed and "destroyed"). That's "news"?

Not to give the other site much credit, but it probably was gone at the moment they posted the article. We’ve seen from management over the past few years that they make decisions, especially ones regarding their cast and entertainment staff, practically on the fly. They looked at the social media press and decided to reverse course before anything was officially announced.

The fact that they are in “the early stages of development” for this “reimagined show” tells me that this decision is quite fresh.

 

[FantasiaMickey2000]

It’s abhorrent what that site did. The fact that they wound up being correct is irrelevant. It’s the fact that the cast found out via a click bait article first. Even more abhorrent is that the person who leaked the information to that site had to work for the company and be high enough up that they knew this was coming. The cast didn’t deserve to read about it on social media first. How anyone could continue to give that site traffic and clicks is beyond me.

That’s on Disney. If the news is out there it’s going to be posted. That’s how it works in any industry. Don’t blame Tom for posting facts. Blame Disney for not informing people when a decision had been made.

I actually liked Tarzan Rocks and FNTM. Could you imagine if they alternated shows in the same theatre? Waaaay too much to ask I know.

 

[CJR]

They were quick to take charge of this news. For good reason too, since it's pretty much keeping the same name, it would be very confusing to guests if they heard it was gone. Glad something will be coming to the theater.

My guess is that this will slide in pretty quickly when Everest closes, although it may not be immediate. I could see President's Day Weekend, early Spring Break at the latest. Here's hoping!
