Any one else read this? Sounds interesting. Although they should rename the pavilion now that it is totally "nemo-fied".

I believe that they are using a similar underwater projection technology (inside dry plastic boxes) as what is in DL, but instead of looking through just regular chlorinated water, you will look through salt water with real genuine fish. Hopefully this won't interfere with the environment too much.

Originally Posted By ChiMike Tom, they have added on to the length of the old ride layout. With the omnimover running speed I have heard an added 30 seconds bandied about.

I seem to remeber the cabs go through a tube in the aquarium? Isn't it the one you can see in the tank? or am i making that up? my memory plays tricks on me sometimes.

And how much more of the new cycle is occupied by load/unload. =Not exact measurement= 1/3 of the old system ran along the first floor of the 2nd floor observation deck. Another 1/3 was on the bottom of the tank connecting load to the first 1/3 that I mention above. The final 1/3 was coming out of the tank into unload and then back to load. As I said the layout has been expanded slightly.

Here's a thought! I wonder if we will find pearls in these clams? Just what kind of clams are we talking about; oysters, little necks, cherry stones, blue shelled muscles, brown shelled muscles, quahogs? Clams can be such a generic term.

The attraction should be open mid-October or so.
