Howdy folks, welcome to the one and original Horizons1 update!

Since this years celebration is the Year of A Million Dreams, Im going to try to match it with the Year of A Million updates! Ive got 15 months so I figure that will give me plenty of time to get a Million updates in. (I am going to fail so bad at this:lol: )

So, I hit the parks yesterday, for Nemo and Hallowishes. Found some stuff in my travels to share with yall. SO sit back, relax, and keep all trays in the upright position (just in case of snakes) and here we go!

From there, we decided to head to Epcot first, parking for the Funai classic was at Epcot. Needless to say, it was packed. I wouldve hated to forget where I parked yesterday...

So, I finally got to ride it. I gotta say, its neat attraction for what it is. Although I dont see why Disney doesnt just get the VA's from the movie to do the voices in the ride. The impersonations are near the real voices but Marlins voice really, just bugged me. Thats just me though...

Question? Can you still go through the exit to get in if you wanted, or do they not allow it anymore. Also if you can see the ride from the "seabase" can you get in line from there, or would you have to walk out and go through the que again. More than likely walk out right?

So that was really all we went to Epcot for. Ill be heading back to cover the FAWF soon. Oh, and the old LS area music is still playing. Its just not near the entrance, its over near the reflection pond closest to the Coral Reef. Its not very loud either, but it is there.

Walking through Innoventions, they had something going on for Disney VisaClub members...

You can still enter from the exit but to get in line for the ride, ya gotta walk back outside and enter from the front.

You now must go through the entrance. There is a bypass just after the beach area that goes strait to Seabase Alpha. A CM is there on duty.

Is it the old TLS bypass?

why would you wait in the long queue just to use the old bypass?

Also, which is the module that is closed off? I hope it's not the one with the old computer games "Sea Challenge" or something like that

You mean to get onto the ride, right?
To get onto the ride OR to get into Seabase Alpha. Just after the beach, there is a CM, you either follow the queue to the ride, or tell the CM you are bypassing, and go down a "lane" on the left of the queue to Seabase. It alsmost looks like a Fastpass line, but it's the bypass line.

Oh ok, I was wondering why that was there.

Although I'm not 100% sure, I believe the reasoning behind it is so they can have an accurate attendance reading of who is in the building. I'm saying that they're going to stop you from going into the exit (they might though), I'm just saying this is the way the pavilion is intended to be seen, and they crowd flow Disney wants.

Good point, your probably right on that. I know if I had just opened a new attraction I would want to get accurate attendance numbers on it. I imagine though, that if get attendance numbers is the case, that as the newness of the ride wears off they will let people back in through the exit. But for now, its into the giant que with em...
