Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is an attraction located at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. The ride is based on the 2003 Disney/Pixar film Finding Nemo. It is a reimagining of the original Submarine Voyage ride that operated from 1959 to 1998.

History[edit | edit source]

The original Submarine Voyage attraction opened on June 14, 1959, and was one of the first E-ticket attractions at Disneyland. The ride featured a fleet of eight submarines that took guests on an underwater adventure. Due to high maintenance costs and declining popularity, the ride was closed on September 9, 1998.

In 2005, The Walt Disney Company announced that the attraction would be reimagined with a Finding Nemo theme. The new ride, Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, opened on June 11, 2007. The updated attraction features new technology, including audio-animatronics and digital projection, to bring the characters from Finding Nemo to life.

Ride Experience[edit | edit source]

Guests board one of the eight submarines, each named after a different sea creature. The submarines are equipped with portholes that allow guests to view the underwater scenes. The ride begins with a journey through a coral reef, where guests encounter characters such as Marlin, Dory, and Nemo.

As the submarine continues its voyage, guests experience various scenes from the film, including the East Australian Current and the Sunken Ship. The ride also features an encounter with the anglerfish and a visit to the Great Barrier Reef.

Technology[edit | edit source]

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage utilizes a combination of audio-animatronics, digital projection, and practical effects to create an immersive experience. The submarines are equipped with hydraulic systems that allow them to simulate diving and surfacing. The attraction also features an advanced sound system that provides clear audio for each guest.

Reception[edit | edit source]

The attraction has been well-received by guests and critics alike. It is praised for its innovative use of technology and its faithful recreation of scenes from Finding Nemo. The ride is considered a must-see attraction at Disneyland and continues to be popular with guests of all ages.
