Perhaps that's what the rumored new Hydrolators were for. Not to take us from the surface to the seabase and back, but to take us from the seabase down to the real depths. Keep thinking their new allegiance with James Cameron could pay off as he's been there.

Also, there was no announcement of it being put on hold like for Poppins and SSE retheme. It's still appearing in the Epcot Expo at Odyssey.


Also, the re-issue of new Epcot banners include JoW.

I didn’t even realize that was still open at all! Yeah if it’s still appearing there, and Poppins and SSE aren’t... that’s a pretty big clue it’s still happening!
