I was lucky enough to go last night (twice!) thanks to a CM friend with an extra ticket. Also ran into Gn2Dlnd on PLaTSI and later outside after Park closing!

STOP READING HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS!



My only qualm with the ride has to be with the video elements. Call me a purist or Old Skool but I like real live 3D animatronics. The sets were astounding and there were many "real" characters but the video elements were a little too reminiscent of the little show scenes in the Autopia line or the screens at the Mission Tortilla Factory. Only on a much bigger scale! The erupting volcano effect with several characters and lava and bubbles was incredibly impressive. I feel like a heel mentioning anything negative about this great attraction, considering I didn't have to wait even 15 minutes to get on either time. But this is just a little niggling feeling I had to voice to all y'all because I am a nit-picky little bastard.

All-in-all: GREAT SHOW!

As mentioned in my OP, I was unable to take pictures of the ride itself. However, I did snap a couple of photos outside. Sorry for the sideways photos - my Photoshop is FUBAR.

Psst-

Spoiler:
A lot of scenes are dry for wet - throughout a lot of the show building you're not traveling through "liquid space" at all!


Do not click if your sense of Disney Magic is fragile. Ooh, look over there! Tinkerbell!

I see !!

Spoiler:
So do you go through a big squeegee under the waterfall ? How do they exclude the water in the show building - or is there still a certain amount of water between you and the show scenes (I imagine the glass walls are close to the sub, thus keeping sets dry and easier to maintain.)

It would be very apparent to the riders if the water level went down below the windows, don't you think?

Spoiler:
As I said, I've only been on it the once, but I think the transitions occcur during bubble screens and blackouts. With clever lighting the imagineers have created the illusion of being underwater. At least, that's what I think.


It's all a theory, it'll be fun to see what other people think after the ride is open. And after the inevitable spoilers are posted all over the interwebs.

Since we have so many that have rode..... does anyone know if they will be allowing photography at the AP preview?

Is it even possible to take photos from inside the sub?

(though frankly, my weakness is seagulls, who are luckily, above water)
