Along with Turtle Talk it revived a dying pavilion that guest had lost interest in. >> He never moved more than a few inches, but he moves a lot less now. << It did not move at all the 3 0r 4 times I rode it last December.

Spirit, I agree with you as well. Attractions just happen to be the one place that I personally do not have too high expectations. I like the middle of the road stuff. I enjoy Peter Pan, Pooh, Toad, etc. and wouldn't mind more of those. I guess I am afraid that in our rush to demand more from the lackluster TDO, we will always aim for the moon or feel short changed. I truly would be happy with decent maintenance and REGULAR - let me repeat - regular additions of a medium scale. I don't expect every single attraction to blow me away with cutting edge (fill in the blank). I just want to be blown away by attention to detail and quality. Heck, I like Tom Sawyer Island and the Canoes (at DL now only). I just like a variety of experiences. That's all. And if this is one, and they do it well, I'll be happy. If they halfxxx it, I'll be just as frustrated as I usually am with TDO.

I think the angler fish is overrated, the tunnel with Crush surfing looks cheap, and there are too many static sets.

I couldn't care less about tooning the Living Seas, but the ride just doesn't impress me very much.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I thought the Nemo attraction in Florida was very poor.

The hydrolaters were much better then the sea cabs (it rained and rained). Then again, I am not a huge fan of the sub redo (though glad to have them back) nor Crush Coaster either. I can watch animation at home, no need to spend the time and money to see it in a park.

It's a very bland, flatline experience. Doesn't do anything new for the story.

Originally Posted By DlandDug My biggest complaint with Nemo and Friends is that it seems like they covered up so much of the Hydrolater trip through the actual tank.

Originally Posted By HokieSkipper Filled in and added some track. I never found the seacabs to be an entertaining ride at all. It was a ride through a fish tank.
Originally Posted By DlandDug <--- loved the Seacabs (thank for reminding me of the name). It was a short trip, but so vital for maintaining the illusion that the whole attraction was at the bottom of the ocean.
Originally Posted By DlandDug Maybe that's the problem-- some were looking for an "entertaining ride" and I was looking for an elaborately themed attraction...
Originally Posted By HokieSkipper I always loved great theming, but the original Living Seas was duller than watching paint dry. It was the only EPCOT Center pavilion my family and I never bothered with.
