Originally Posted By speedygenie ok, the video got my attention. I think its a perfect fit for a Nemo overlay to the area around Jumpin jelly fish in DCA.

You could even build a mini coaster like that flyin fish one in TDS. Maybe with the kid turtles instead. Throw some of those cool lookin Nemo fish from outside the Living seas at epcot around those unthemed water fountain coral reef sponge play areas. Actually, while were at it, take the big orange off the stinger platform and place a Dumbo type attraction, but ever ride vehicle would be a different fist from the flik. any thoughts?

Originally Posted By meomi Do you think the sea cabs will ever run again? I mean if they are anything like SE, which broke down on Sunday when we were there for many minutes while on the attraction. Hopefully they did some work to them. M

Originally Posted By Disneybrad "Let's hope we can get those sea cabs up and running soon." The Seacabs themselves pretty much are able to be up and running. But they wont be able to reopen until they come up with the money to Add Doors to them, or disney stops being scared of the possibly of a lawsuit.

Originally Posted By jmuboy Please don't get me wrong. I like the Living Seas changes and upgrades. However there is still plenty of work to be done to get this pavilion back up to par.
Originally Posted By Disneybrad While i was in Training for Turtle Talk last week, they they us that several months ago they tested some new effects when viewed form the seacabs would have Nemo following you and talking to you on your way to Seabase Alpha. Hopefully with the crowds the Turtle Talk has brought into Living Seas just in the week since it opened, it will open the budget purse for the attraction even more.
Originally Posted By jmuboy I think it would be cool if: Keep the Sea Cabs ride portion as is, just clean them up, repaint, rehab. Add Nemo as a tour guide (a projection of sorts that appears in the viewing window - he appears to be swimming in the tanks). Nemo would serve as a host who tells the sea cab riders what exhibits and uniue attractions that the Sea Base Alpha research station has to offer. This would be a simple way to tie all of the pavilion together and get this key element of the pavilion back in operation.
Originally Posted By BrigmanMT 2 I think the hydrolauters were the coolest part on my first trip, we didn't even bother with the pavillion on my second. I'm sure an actual attraction, like the seacabs, would have changed that. I'm sure the current AA's being tested for Disneyland's Nemo will find their way into this area, whether the attraction gets approved or not.
