Nemo's Undersea Adventure Photos (7/4)

[mousermerf]

Here's the cream of the crop from a ton of photos I took on July 4th of the new Nemo ride (Nemo's Undersea Adventure) at the Living Seas.

Everything needed photoshop to be visible, i'm very happy I went back during EMH when they turn the tank lights off, because those are the best photos (as the ambient light is not causing problems).

So.. an overview (ignore the reflection in the glass) to give you an idea of scale, this photo shows the walkway to the main observation deck with the ride, worklights on, glowing underneath.

You can see, from left to right, some wooden construction, pools of light from the overhead worklights, and also the roundish shapes of the vehicle bases and then the side wall of the unload walkway.

This is the screen/wall thing in the section under the main circular observation deck. If anything, it's something mounted seemingly obscuring the direct view of the tank..

Exit area again..

Closer up..

Moreso.. Look.. 2x4.. fascinating..

And again.. I a see a ride vehicle base!

And the exit walkway wall thing again..

Hope you folks enjoy it. I might post the other photos, blurry-yeti-spotting-like and all depending on how my bandwidth usage goes. Those might have to wait. If anything, look for write-ups of all the other findings from my July 4th trip at www.touringplans.com and as usual i'll post the bigger news here too.

thanks merf.

i think this is one of those "stare at the photo long enough then the image will pop out at you" kind of things. i really cant see the vehicle base, butmost of what is described. i usually over complicate things like this :lol:

 

[brkgnews]

Nice, merf. thanks.

Visual aid:

Here's one of the above photos with the vehicle base traced around the visible edge in yellow, and the 2x4 rail thingy in red.

They're circular, but don't show up as perfect circles because they're covered in a protective plastic. Moreso thicker plastic than shrink-wrap, so it folds and bends and creates an odd silloutte. They're all attached, omnimover style, hence the scallop look.

Once you can see it in the first photo, you can find them in the others. They're in a happy little line leading toward the unload. The angle may seem odd, but remember i'm shooting down through water from the second floor to the first floor and 2 giant sheets of acrylic. The 2x4 is in reality at something akin to a right angle and the vehicle bases are pretty much flat disks.

Merf,

I appreciate the effort, but you could have told me those were photos of aliens from another planet and I would have to believe you. Just looks like green blurriness to me :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[moulds]

You missed nothing

Well, you can easily reproduce the experience...first, get inside a car in the Haunted Mansion, and then right before you get to the first scene, tell yourself the ride's over.

Seriously, although I am sometimes one of those "arg! I can't believe they tore down my favorite!" types myself, if anyone ever tells you the original Seacabs "ride" is something to be lamented, just nod politely and back away...back away...

The concept was neater than the execution. Riding through an aquarium was cool and with the full experience made sense.. when things started to get cut, it stopped being fun.

About the pics.. i'm really not the only one who can see the structures in those pics, right?

Mousemerf-I can see it after seeing your edited one.
