Disneyland Goes Public About Submarine Voyage
In an interview with the OC Register, Disneyland Resort boss Matt Ouimet made the first public mention of the Submarine Voyage rehab:
Nothing people "in-the-know" haven't already heard, but it is nice they are publicly saying it now. Meanwhile, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea at Disney World is almost completely gone.
Next week, he gives Disney fans a bit of hope for the return of an old favorite. As a result of Ouimet's campaigning for more attractions, Walt Disney Imagineers will begin "testing the waters" at Submarine Lagoon, exploring how the ride might be revived after a six-year hiatus. If it reopens, the theme is expected to be from "Finding Nemo," the hit movie from Disney-Pixar.
PS: There are a few other interesting tidbits in the interview as well.
