"Leaders at Disneyland Park in California have targeted June 11 as the official opening date for the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage.
The new attraction, will lead Guests on an expedition to the site of an erupting undersea volcano. Along the way, groundbreaking animation technology will let characters from the hit Disney/Pixar film Finding Nemo swim alongside the extensively refurbished submarines, appearing exactly as they do in the film (only in a real, three-dimensional underwater setting).
"We are literally bringing the undersea world of Finding Nemo off the screen and into the submarine lagoon," said Tom Fitzgerald, Executive Vice President and Senior Creative Executive for Walt Disney Imagineering. "We are going to immerse our Guests in an adventure that will leave them in disbelief. They will want to experience this new attraction over and over to find out, 'How did they do that?'"
The new attraction marks the highly anticipated rebirth of the Park's original "E-ticket ride," as the Tomorrowland® lagoon was home to the original Submarine Voyage, which accepted the first "E-tickets" for admission on June 6, 1959. The attraction closed in 1998, and Internet chat rooms have buzzed with speculation ever since."
