Submarine Ride Opening Date in Doubt???

Mary Blairiffic · 02-12-2007, 09:57 PM

Hi folks. Haven't posted in a while, but I've been trying to find out the skinny on the new Submarine ride. I read in MiceAge that there was flooding connectred with the construction and that now the June 11 opening is in doubt. Well phooey -- I'm trying to put together one of those Magical Gatherings involving the schedules of about 10 or so Chicago-area folks and I need to know what's going on! We NEED to see the new ride real bad! Any help or insight or even downright inside track info would be greatly appreciated. I thank you muchly.

NEVER believe an announced opening date. Sometimes they are met, sometimes not.

Splash Mountain had no less than four separate opening dates, and eventually opened almost a year after it was supposed to.

Much more recently, Space Mountain ver.2.0 opened ahead of the original schedule, when construction was beefed up to make the 50th anniversary ... and it did!

No one's going to be able to provide a firm date for the Subs. Adding to the usual construction unknowables is the constant problem of WATER (and the fact that the Matterhorn might sink into the earth at any given moment).

Why couldn't Innoventions just implode?

The ride was originally supposed to open this month. The opening was pushed back to May due to delays caused by several storms. Construction fell behind schedule again & the release date was pushed back to June. Currently it looks like it'll open around Disneyland's 52nd anniversary. Without putting in the extra hours of overtime, there's not much that can be done to speed up the construction of the ride.

For the same reason that the right people never die. It's like a universal constant or something.

I think the same effect causes me to stain shirts that I love, yet the ugly parts of my wardrobe last eons.

Could that be that you are much more likely to be wearing the clothes you like than the clothes you don't?

For the wrong person dying, Denis Leary used (and probably still does) to have a bit about that. John Lennon taking the bullet when Yoko Ono was a foot away. Some other beloved artist overdosing just walking into a room with cocaine while you could put Motley Crue in a vault stacked to the ceiling with crack and they walk out the next day leaving it clean.

(Not to be confused with the 2nd 50th anniversary)

Thank you so much for giving me more info on the Subs. Perhaps we Chicagoans can aim for sometime at the end of the summer, let the ships fall as they may, or the Matterhorn for that matter!
