Finding nemo submarine voyage3/30/2023 ![]() The subs have been repainted a new flashy yellow above the water, with a light blue strip dividing a dark blue/black hull below the water. The ride’s submarines do not actually submerge they are boats in which the passenger seating area is below the water level. The load/unload areas are themed as an Australian Harbour, just like the movie. The attraction uses the same submarines used in the former Submarine Voyage. The SubmarinesĮarly promotional image for the ride, some features appear different from this early artwork. The a song &Beyond the Sea (instrumental) plays as the captain thanks the passengers for riding. The submarine then enters the harbor and view a pair of king crabs snapping at air bubbles atop a sewage pipe. He then says, “We better get out of here before we see a sea serpent or a mermaid.” (in reference to the prior attraction which featured mermaids and a sea serpent.) Soon after he says this, we see a coral formation shaped like the sea serpent’s head. The sub captain tells the first mate and the passengers not to mention anything because nobody would probably believe them anyway”. ![]() As Dory swims about trying to speak whale, the whale shoots the sub out through its blowhole. Suddenly, a pod of blue whales appear and one of them swallows Dory and the submarine. The fish gather and celebrate finding Nemo once again. The volcano erupts just as the subs escape and enter the coral reef once again. As lava flows down the edge of the volcano, the Tank Gang chant and Marlin finally finds Nemo. The submarine reaches the active underwater volcano. After Marlin and Dory escape, they encounter a school of jellyfish. Suddenly a monstrous angler fish appears. The sub goes dark and Marlin and Dory are suddenly surrounded by small glowing dots. The subs hit one, shaking the sub and causing it to temporarily lose power. Bruce, Anchor, and Chum swim around a sunken war submarine surrounded by mines. The subs then exit the current and enter the Graveyard of Lost Ships where Marlin and Dory continue their search for Nemo. The captain says they are approaching open water and the subs pass Crush, Squirt, and the other green sea turtles and enter the East Australian Current. Ray and his class swimming through the coral looking for Nemo as well. ![]() Further along the reef, the guests come across Mr. The subs pass Marlin and Dory as they discover Nemo has become lost once again. The subs then pass through a dark cavern where eels lunge towards the sub and lobsters are fighting. The captain says due to amazing new marine technology called “sonar hydrophones, they can actually hear the fish talk. Shortly after passing into the caverns, the guests can view moray eels snaking out of the coral at the sub as it passes, and lobsters pinching at the sub. The captain commands the sub to dive deeper to avoid a surface storm ahead. Monstrous clams slowly open and close as the subs pass. ![]() The scene soon changes as the subs are immersed in the setting of a coral reef in bright colors of orange, aqua, green, crimson, maize, and more. Amongst the stone ruins lay gigantic tiki heads embedded in the sea floor. The subs then enter the ruins of the ancient civilization of Easter Island, being explored by the dentist diver P. As we continue on, we see a giant sea bass swimming through the seaweed. One of the first things guests see is Darla, the fish-killing niece of the dentist in Finding Nemo, freediving amid the coral, holding a bag with a fish in it. Through their portholes, guests view a spectacular underwater environment. The guests board one of NEMO’s eight research submarines and set out in search of an active undersea volcano. There are three seagulls perched on a nearby buoy, bellowing out the phrase “Mine! Mine! Mine!” every few seconds. At the attractions entrance, guests enter the Nautical Exploration and Marine Observation (NEMO) research center.
