I am fascinated by the original WDW attractions and enjoy learning about them and comparing them to their replacements. I never did visit the Living Seas until it had been redesigned as The Seas with Nemo and Friends, so I'd just like to ask a few questions for those 'in the know'.
1. In looking at ride layouts online, it appears that the omnimover Nemo ride is much longer than the original seacabs ride. Is this the case, and if so, does the current ride go through an area that used to house the hydrolators and theater?
2. Is most of the new ride through dry show scenes and not in the main tank or underwater at all?
3. When the Nemo ride is obviously in the main tank (after the EAC scene), it takes about a minute or so to travel to the unload area. Video I've seen online showed the seacabs taking about 2 minutes. Did the seascabs take a different route, or were they simply travelling more slowly?
4. Were there more fish, etc. in the tanks years ago, or this this an illusion based on the Youtube videos I've watched of the former ride versus the Nemo version?
Thanks for your help with my curiosity.
