I love it, to tell the truth, if it was one of the best kept secrets ever and i was there on opening day to see the final product without all this crappy foam instead of water people are givin us. I dont like ruining surprises, but this ones a tough one not to.

you should come to NJ, and you can see it all over again, and again, ok Ihave to leave now so I can swim to work:animwink:jddjcfc said:Ahh thanks soooo much, you are so lucky that you got to see this, but remember to be careful.
I am really going to miss the likes of the hydrolators and the famous film with "and it rained and it rained" but I do look forward to the future with what this pavilion has to offer.

Mousermerf, that is about the best reply I think that has ever been created on any Disney message board. I didnt follow the whole thing, but get the gist ... thanks. I MUST have ridden this in mid-80s because I definitely went to the TLS, but have no recollection of SeaCabs omnimover ... excited that FutureWorld will have a decent dark ride again. I still get ill remembering Horizons and what used to be.
Thanks

mousermerf said:A quick overview of the LS's space... from space!
Now, we all know the entrance is the curvey-swoosh thing and the exit is the tree path (or atleast i hope you remembered that)
The big circle is the main tank it is entirety.
The "L" shaped area on the main tank on the monorail side of the buidling is the coral reef restaurant.
The black spot on the roof on the left side marks the rough area of the Diver Lock-out chamber.
The raised roof area just past the entrance, sorta resembles a W, is home to Pre-show, Theater 1 (The Seas film), and the queue.
The monorail/right side line of the raised roof section if continued into the main tank, then turned 90 degrees to face directly toward the lockout chamber (just draw and intersect the two lines), is the path of the ride through the tank. It then went behind the giftshop along the side wall of the tank and back to the load area.
The observation deck is also where those two points meet - not in the middle of the tank, but rather offset slightly. The walkway on the second floor to the observation deck is directly inline with the lockout chamber.
Pre-show theater 2 is actually right next to the exit. It's behind the wall that had the big plexi-glass "Thank You For Visitting" with waves sign.
So, if you can map it out in your head, they've got tons of space to work with.

This is indeed good news!
When we were at TLS last year, I felt like it was really in bad shape. Lots of empty space, and the colors etc. are really dated.
Good to hear the SeaCabs are returning. I wonder what this will all look like when it's done.
Can't wait until November 2006 for the next visit!

Thanks for the update!!!
Wonder if we could get pictures... Doubt it because the building is inclosed. I'm a cocstruction freak and love using my hands and i scream every time i see Everest Pictuers.
Also, Are they going to do anything to the rockwork where the sign and water splashes in the front of TLS? I hope to god they dont because i love that!!!

It isn't. At least that's the favorite rumor. As the rumor goes, TLS will be re-opened in Phases. Phase 1 was the first part of the Nemo overlay. This included Turtle Talk. Phase 2 and Phase 3 have started with this most recent closing. Phase 2 will reopen in Mid-November with the Hydrolators gone and posibily the entrances reversed (enter through the old exit). The preshow theaters will remained closed. Phase 3 will open next year with new preshow elements and an expanded sea cab ride.ssidiouss@mac.c said:
At least that's what I remember of the rumors that have been going around on these forums. We'll all see what happens later next month.

yes, it's very hard to believe they could put together a GREAT attraction in just 3-4 months..
