Submarine Voyage - LoT Inaugural Ride! - Page 21

Aw man, I didn't see the monorail sub version. I think it would look neat zipping through on its' way through the park.

I wouldn't wait six hours for anything. But, on the other hand, if you are an APer and have seen everything and your only intent is to ride this ride, why not. If this is the only trip you are taking for the year, I think I'd put it off. Or ride it last thing at night.

Last night they were saying that if you got in line at park closing, you'd be guaranteed a ride. We waited about 2, 2 1/2 hours for it.

The CM we spoke to said they'd stayed open until 1:30 the night before to clear the line.

I don't know if you caught GC's earlier post:

The subs return as part of the ongoing Year of a Million Dreams celebration at the Disneyland Resort. Starting June 11, the day the subs resurface, guests will be allowed to join the queue until official park closing and the subs will continue their voyages to find Nemo for up to 2 1/2 hours after park closing.

But actually seeing the words "they'd stayed open until 1:30" just seems so much more.... impressive.

Eh. Main Street's open an hour after closing anyway, and I've surely seen Peter Pan have a 45 minute + line at closing. 1:30's pretty late, but it's not 2:30, which is what they were gearing up for.

The CM also mentioned that they closed when there was no more line, implying you could have gotten in line at say 1:15ish and still ridden.

Seems strange to me, because at most attractions, a CM is sent to the end of the line at closing to "close off" the line (eg: stand behind the last person in line to disallow anyone else to get in line after closing time)

I was about 10th from the end of the line on Nemo closing. They had 2 CM's at the end and others around to turn people away. When I got out it was about 1am. Only Security and a few CM's were around. Otherwise it was noman's land. Pretty cool.

Stopped by the park this morning. Got into the Downtown Disney parking lot at 9:10, got right on a monorail, into tomorrowland by 9:25 at the latest.

Wait time: 3 1/2 - 4 hours.

A half-hour into it, we decided to ride it another time. Four hours of standing in the sun was not appealing. We rode Snow White, got lunch, went home.

Productive morning, that was.
