That's always been a favorite site of mine however it's not been updated in a very long time and is a bit outdated on the current state of the subs I think.

They also bring out a Nautilus on select occasions for Festivals or Events.

The subs are almost gone, I think the last one use to be visible on a sat photo of Epcot a while back, it was near the land pavilion backstage.
Edit ... I am way behind. Somebody beat me a few pages back.

That's awful, especially since on the second picture you can see the nose of one of them poking out saying 'help meee!!'
Sad times, Disney. Very unmagical of you.Though imagine, a hundred years from now, they're excavating that area... priceless.

The archaeologists of our distant future are going to be so confused by some of the things they find around the World.

They do have a couple submerged in Castaway Cay. You can snorkel around the one, but its mast and top are about 50 yards away, must have been hit by the weather, the other I belive was washed out to sea, fitting when you think about it.

I say this exact thing about tanning beds. They will think we fried people for punishment.
So sad about the boats. Does anyone know if one went to Paris? They don't have the ride there but you can see one by Space Mountain.

The Paris one was built out of concrete in 1991.
Officially the 20K ride only had 12 subs, but an ex CM recollects there were 14 built for some reason. 12 was the maximum that could be run, but the ride would eventually cascade with a dozen on the ride path. He recollects 12 would be on the ride path and spur, a 13th kept in dry dock and the 14th was used for spares.
It was documented two subs were sent to Castaway Key back in the day, and third was cut in half originally for D-MGM. Add the complete prop one seen backstage at Epcot and that would indeed be 14, if the 10 pictured at the landfill were indeed all buried. Which is something we may never know.

But as I understand it they aren't there anymore either.
