We got there at 7:00, an hour before the park opened and were very close to the front of the line. You can see the line behind Chandler in this photo. It goes all the way back to California Adventure! Unfortunately, hotel guests were allowed to enter at 7:00 and so we watched hundreds of people head off to Nemo before us!
We were told the wait would be an hour and forty-five minutes, and they were exactly right! It felt long to the girls, but I didn't think it was awful. The woman working the ride assured me the wait would be worth it!
So down we headed. These are the original subs. I guess they wanted to replace them, but the current regulations would have made it impossible. So they grandfathered in the originals, built in the 50's for an apparently much smaller population. You can see it's a tight fit getting down there!
The beginning looks just like I remembered it! There was the concrete wall with the muscles and starfish. I'm sure they were the originals! But for the girls, they were only 3 and 1 the last time they rode, so it was an all-new experience to them.
I thought it was definitely better than the ride it replaced. They have managed install the animated creatures into the under sea environment. Chandler captured it all on video, but for now, I can't get it to play...
I can't wait to ride again, but I think I'll wait for the lines to go down!
For a VERY COOL video chronically their time on the ride, check out Beth's blog! I'm jealous of her video capabilities.
