:Fingers crossed:
I hope all goes well.
The turtle in the lake close to the shore by the smoking area is looking really horrible. Hopefully he'll get a Crush makeover.

[disneyland dude]

ah! i cant wait that long!! hope it works out(and goes a lot faster than scheduled)!!

[testtrack321]

I'll wait to see what Al says first... but if it's true, it's great news!

[JMike]

Good to hear. Here's hoping that it turns out good.

[imagineer boy]

Well, I hope they do it right, but please NO NEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VWSpawn]

It will be nice to see the Subs moving again instead of looking at the lagoon of lost memories.

[HarajukuBoy]

We'll see how it goes. I could care less about it opening again. Probably just my claustrophobic tendencies surfacing. I'm excited to actually see the lagoon active again though.

How does the wole "Nemo" thing work with Disney and Pixar's partnership break?...Is this something that Disney wants to promote because of their old liscensing?

[Whatever]

If true, the amount I'd be willing to pay for a Premium AP just went up by $50. Don't tell anyone at TDA though...

Not getting too excited until Al weighs in...

Update: is it possible that this is the same story: http://www.miceage.com/allutz/al021705b.htm, and that over at that old site they are highly optimistic and Al is cautiously optimistic? Time will tell...

[Whatever]

I think disney owns exclusive rights to all the charaters, etc from the Pixar movies. This was one of the reasons that Steve Jobs wanted to re-negotiate...

I cannot imagine a Nemo theme being attached to the subs lasting any memorable length of time, no return appeal except the very young.

However could it be possible to have a theme similar to Stormrider at TDS? Instead of preventing an aboveground storm the theme is to hunt for possible dangerous tsunamis and stop them before they hit populated land, the subs could be a fleet patrolling the oceans, they have at their disposal sub harmonic transmitters that if projected ahead of a tsunami will stop it, either that or use the Nautilus theme from the 1959 movie.

I wish it was possible for a modern day version of 20,000 leagues Under the Sea movie to be released and have the subs follow the storyline.

Great news. I hope that the whole Nemo thing works, I'm slightly skeptical about it themed to that movie.

[SurfedUpDane]

Great News!

Who cares if it is a Finding Nemo overlay once its open, once the big bucks are spent they can do a new (theme) overlay in a few years.

Good point! Since the animatronics will be in protective boxes it will be relatively easy to change and replace them. Heck, can you imagine "Holiday Submarines" or "Submarine Christmas"?

[Indy95]

Good to know. I hope the Nemo overlay goes over well. Not very futuristic.

But it sure is better than nothing!!

I'm also a tad skeptical about the Nemo overlay...but I have faith in Matt Ouimet to get the best out of it. And, as not onwaltsblacklist (whew) said, once DL's money machine starts spinning once again, they could just change the theme. It doesn't sound like the Nemo overlay was meant to last too long anyway...Three cheers for Matt Ouimet!

[MinionLumbo]

i won't be satisfied until i see LIVE mermaids waving from the center of the lagoon and a gun metal grey paint scheme on the subs.

[Darthokeefe]

Why would you object to the nemo redo....peter pan is based on a cartoon and that is still popular. I think Nemo , Marlin and Dory will be around a long time
