My entire group thought they were totally worth the 1 hour wait...so we waited again. And I will definitely wait in the future. The kids loved them too. I think the attraction will have a high repeatability factor due to the different things you see depending on where you are seated. The two rides I took were extremely different and I am very anxious to try it out again next trip! I've got to admit I was skeptical at first but now after having experienced it first hand...WOW! Thumbs up to WDI for an excellent job. This ride is going to be wildly popular for a long, long time.

I will qualify that by saying the first time was at 8:25 am and I was feeling good and excited and the second time was late at night and I was tired. I did enjoy the lagoon more in the day light. Much more color and more to see. I still like it and will always ride at least once per trip.
Originally Posted By Moon Waffle Agreed. We rode once at night and once during the day. Day was much better. Also IMO, during the day there is a distinct feel to "diving" down into the dark depths of the ocean that you lose during the night when it's already dark in the first part of the ride.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Also, during the day your eyes aren't as well adjusted to the dark parts where you can see how some of the tricks work at night. I also would say that it's better during the day, buteverybody should try to see it at night at least once. I wonder what it looks like during sunset...

Originally Posted By ABBY We really enjoyed them too. Went first thing in the morning on our early entry day with no wait. I knew a little about the attraction but my husband knew nothing about them. He was grumbling the whole time about "having" to go on them. I think he was expecting the ride to be just slightly upgraded from the old subs. He was surprised and turns out he loved them.

The vocal was used in the film Finding Nemo. You can find recordings of the original hit on line. I don't know if this exact instrumental version is available.
Originally Posted By wonderingalice Mr. Alice and I really enjoyed the new subs, too (actually, he'd never seen the former).

We rode both day and night and like it equally. But one distinct difference - the seats facing into the cove (as opposed to the side walls) offer a much better show and feeling of being in a large body of water. The special effects in the cave are awesome and there were segments that took my breath away with their beauty. Experienced several "how the heck did they do that??" moments, too. Good job bringing back an old favorite and GOOD times riding!

We were not at all the first through the turnstile, arriving at the gate about 10 minutes before opening. We waited about 20 minutes in the Nemo line, which we thought was great! We really enjoyed the ride, and look forward to riding it again.

I know the show is the same, but part of me still wonders what is going on on the other side of the sub.
Originally Posted By wonderingalice Hey Dan... You're not missing anything. They've done their best to duplicate the "good" / lagoon side, but the space is much more limited. There are fewer "ruins" and plant life... less of everything. And it doesn't have the feel of being in an endless body of water that the other side enjoys. It's not "bad," it's just limited. And once you're in the cave everything's identical.

You can get the vocals version on the album "Swing When You're Winning" by Robbie Williams.
