Those windows were nine inches thick. If they had gone, it would've been sayonara in two micro-seconds. Alright. Enough of that bs.

Yep, there were exit hydrolators that brought you back to the surface in Future World. I believe the return trip was quicker than the arrival (it's a wonder nobody got the bends!) and the cabins were larger in order to let people exit easily, but the illusion was complete with the original setup
When the Nemo overlay happened, all of the hydrolators were removed. The entrance ones were used for additional queue space for the ride (which itself was expanded into the original pre-show theaters) and the exit ones were removed for a gift shop (of course!). As part of the redo, the entire conceit of Seabase Alpha was removed, swapped out for a more straightforward aquarium approach
I think there was a brief period during construction when there were no hydrolators at the exit, but they were still in use at the entrance. In the ultimate configuration, the 'exit' also functions as a secondary entrance to the pavilion for people who don't want to do the ride. There is no longer any pretense of being on the ocean floor.

Such services could have made dca 1.0 a success with the adult demographics and changed the course of theme park history.

Let's not forget that Cory Matthews met the chick from Step by Step in The Living Seas' dolphin tank.

It may be the entire depth (or width) of the building. But we saw before the exterior skin was applied that it is only the western end of the show building and shaped with the ratio we saw in the rendering.

Nope. You just walk from Seabase Alpha right out sliding exit doors like you'd find at any grocery store, right into the bright Florida sunshine.
Leave it to you.

that's how it's been since nemo - or slightly before, can't remember...
but, the exit hydrolators didn't cease ops until sometime between sponsorship ending ('98) and nemo opening (early/mid 2000s).

It was probably required that the doors to the outside be transparent for obvious reason of making it clear it was a doorway. The inner hydrolator doors were more futuristic.

You don't want to know. But if you went to the Urban Dictionary and put in Salad Tossing, well........it's up to you.

Over at the WDW forum there is a rumor of a possible Indy boat ride going to DHS with Shanghai pirates tech. Which got me thinking I want some of that tech at DLR. Specifically the ride system. I know we ll be getting some cool new stuff with Battle Escape but I think a boat ride at DCA with Shanghai Pirates tech would be great for the park. The question is where would it go and what IP would it be based on?

I doubt anything Marvel related. Maybe replace Goofy's sky school with a Coco boat adventure? Hey, maybe a higher tech version of what was going to go in the Mexico pavilion!?

Yes! The thought had crossed my mind but then I thought that I’m not sure a boat ride is the best way to the tell the Coco story but why not. It could / would work.
