It could be kind of like the old Toad's Ride in Fantasyland where each ride vehicle would hold up to 4 or 6 people. The ride vehicles would each be shaped like the Nautilus. It could ride on an elevated or suspended track giving you the feeling that you were in the middle of nothing... It could be a fast ride, but not as fast as normal roller coasters...there woudl be no loops, but lots of dives and jerkiness. You coudl come face to face with the squid and other monsters of the deep. You could see Nemo sinking ships and going mad. You could 'surface' at one piont in the ride (it would become lighter in one room), and you coudl be chased by the natives of New Guinea. I think it coudl be doable, but it probably never will be done.

Originally Posted By BrigmanMT 2 It is a good idea. The wait area could be an extended walk through the real Nautilus.

Originally Posted By Blackie Pueblo You could make it like a roller coaster if you wanted to. I think of Aerosmith only instead of sitting in a limo you'd be sitting in the Nautilus. And it could dive then come back up on the track. Even at some point have the Giant squid. I think you are really onto something Gaston! Gaston, your positivly prime thinking. Ha.. you thought I was gonna call you evil didn't you!?

Much as I love the old 20K ride, it's not so much that old ride I wanted to keep seeing in WDW, but rather *something* themed around a Nautilus sub, just to remind visitors of how important that sub and that movie is in the overall lore of Disney history. Just build anything that involves the sight of a Nautilus sub in FL and I'll be more than happy to give it a chance.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss I'm no 20K fan, but the Nautilus walk-thru at DLP is kick-ass. I was disappointed with the one at TDS, since you can only walk up to it and look at the exterior.... and with most of it underwater, it's not all that exciting.

It'd be really cool just to put some of the subs out in Bay Lake on a track, going around the island at different intervals...making it look like Nemo is cruising FL. They could light up the eyes at night and have it ride next to the ferry boat and submerge at different times. THAT would be cool to see!

I know what you mean when you say that you can do anything you want, but for some of us who have children that we're raising, mortgage payments, college funds, retirement, etc...it can be a huge stretch to go to Disney in a different country. We're lucky enough to get to WDW once a year. Havne't been to DL in 15 years, but will probably go in the next few months or so. Either way, just wanted to say that you sounded a bit insensitive.
