Man are my cheeks sore - NEMO Spoilers ahead - Page 3

Sub la Goon · 06-03-2007, 08:31 AM

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!

Kev, thanks for the awesome description of this ride (I will not be riding till next year). I cannot wait to see pictures and video!!!!

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.

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)
