Wow, we are so completely polar opposite on our opinions about this ride.

What exactly is the point to so immensely creating an underwater environment to the extent that you go into a partially-submersed vehicle to actually view things UNDER WATER ... only to watch TV?

I simply don't get it.

As soon as I see those movie screens ... the same kind of thing happens to me when I see the movie bride in the Haunted Mansion. I'm out of it. The entire illusion of going underwater and viewing things in liquid space is thrown out the window .... because I am intimately familiar with projected images and KNOW that Dory and Marlin and Co. are not under water.

They are a film.

It's cheap. I hate it for the same reason I dislike Star Tours and frelling despise the new Bride.

Darla is the best thing about FNSV. She's an underwater 3-D figure in one of the Disneyland's most elaborately-constructed 3-D environments.

Everything else is lame.

One more early morning viewing. One nighttime viewing, hopefully at closing - so we can extend our stay till after 2 am ... and then I am done with the new Submarine Voyage.

Oh, but I like the Sub-theme Monorail. Hey, it's not even a condom!
