I have a hard time believing this rumor about the water quality being so bad. Doesn't every swimming pool have paint on the walls and chemicals in the water? Aren't there large environmental companies that specialize in taking industrial pollutants and treating them? (there are)
If you ask me, this sounds like a re-hash of a rumor that was floating around a while ago about the water in the dive tube at Living Seas being "so polluted that no one would take it." I've heard this one before and didn't believe it then, either.

Re: The Water is not polluted.
As far as water floting shings. About 20 years ago ther were trying to get a new stadium for the Bears and and White sox. one of thr Ideas was a stadium that had stands that could be reconfigured for both football and baseball. ther idea was to float the stands on a layer of water to rearange the stands. Obvously that plan never happened. So water can do some unusaul things.

I miss it. Yes, it had low-tech effects, and if you looked up you could see the water level. But it was still a cool ride. No other theme park or amusement park had a ride where you could look under water. I hope they either bring a version of 20k overseas to here (yeah, right. That'll happen) or re-invent the concept here, because it was one of my favorite rides for being so different. Plus I loved the underwater props and sets. I wish I could take one more journey on it.
As for the Mermaid fountain, that huge space deserves an attraction that would utilize it. They would not install a fountain directly in the middle. Theres not much point. The lagoon already looks good, with the Vulcanian caves and the clear water. Plus they already have a fountain!
Maybe they should install some underwater lights in the rocks to give the lagoon a "volcanic rock" look. That would be cool. Imagine the little peaks and caves with hues of orange and red light "spewing" from them. Now that would be awesome for ambience!

1. I doubt Disney would keep a toxic cespool so close to guests and ABOVE a locker room. PLEASE get serious.
2. Only 1 sub would need to be modified to meet ADA requirements, not the whole fleet.

it wouldn't be impossible but there would always be water leakage down there and building the Utilidors on the grade instead of under solved any water issues with leakage.

Why do take the worst case senario and make it into the end of the world. why don't you give Disney some credit. Don't you think that Disney would have plan if that happened or do think Disney is going to scratch there heads and go " gee...... what do we do"
Com on think about it!!!!!!!:hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

I adored 20k. Its funny, as a child I dont remember ever seeing the wires that held the fish in place. Nor did it ever occur to me to look up and see the water level. I just wanted to believe we were under water. What really stinks is now I have children who have not and never will ride 20K or the skyride or Dreamflight. How about instead of spending another 100 million on a new ride, put 20 million in 20k and fix the problems.

My thoughts exactly! Would it really be so costly to perform some routine maintence? It would be tons cheaper than a new ride I'm sure!
Thanks disneyfamily for telling it how it is!
