The story to this attraction comes full circle in the weirdest way... The ride started out as a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea themed ride. One of the main characters of the book/movie is named Captain Nemo. The ride turns into a Finding Nemo ride. FULL CIRCLE.

I even remember specifically being in “Ariel’s playground” playing with my brother on a fake sunken pirate ship (I think I was like 11). The ground started to sway and I thought it was a fun effect they added, didn’t even realize what was happening until I got down and saw people running and screaming.

I've always been a big Jules Verne fan, and my dad took me to see a re-release of 20,000 Leagues when I was a kid. Then we went to Disneyworld and I fell in love with the ride. I also went on the California version a few years later. Luckily, I returned to Disneyworld in 1994, so I got one last go on the 20K ride right before it was shut down in 94. I was at Disneyworld last year and was disappointed at how so many classic rides were gone, replaced by the flavor-of-the-moment. It's rather sad.

Yeah but it's a tricky title innit? "30 Miles Above the Land" sounds like a rocket being shot into the sky but could also be about someone running for 30 miles. Of course you can't go 20,000 leagues straight down into the sea but I would legit argue that most people didn't and still don't confidently know how long that distance actually is nor concern themselves enough to learn it. We mostly just assumed that a submarine goes 20,000 leagues down into the depths, I know that's what I did.
@silvercat18
@silvercat18 3 жыл бұрын
20,000 is also quite a specific number for a voyage of distance - it does sound a lot more like a depth measurement. I imagine it would be quite tricky to go exactly 20,000 and be like "well, thats the end of the voyage then, that was good timing".

Out of all the theme parks I've been to, I'd have to agree with whomever thinks Disney Sea is the best theme park in the world. There are way more attractions suitable for adults. It's definitely known as a "date" park or the park you go to with your friends, not your family (though there are still families abound so it's still alright for kids). I even prefer the shows and parades at Sea over the ones at Land. If you ever get a chance to come to Japan you should definitely try to go to Disney Sea~

After a few minutes we heard them agree on using Finding Nemo to utilize the space. DID WE HEAR THE BEGINNINGS OF THE NEW RIDE? I think we did...

This ride reminds me of the submarine ride my parents would talk about when they went to Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo as children. The ride was pretty much like this, but that was back in the 70s. Now, it is a large intertube that has 6 seats in it called The Lost River Of The Ozarks. Pretty sure it was a submarine ride back then to compete with this ride here as well as others that were popping up at the time. Silver Dollar City was made famous by The Beverly Hillbillies when they filmed 6 episodes there back in 1969. Sorry for all this info on a park that youre not even talking about, but Silver Dollar City is MY Disney and im always facinated by the history of theme parks! Keep up the good work!

At 9:13 you ask about a pic of subs in storage, I believe you actually showed it at 9:42. To my knowledge, the subs were not removed until the refurbishment itself for NEMO happened, they were stored in the show building during the dark years for the ride. I worked at Disney and every day you could see the one exposed sub permanently stored in the maint dock at the back end of the ride. All of the others were right inside the building. Great video! You covered things not well known and in great detail.

While the abundance of dark rides is great I still think Defunct land could use a few rollercoasters. Darkrides, generally take up a massive footprint and rollercoasters, while still big, would take less room, some could even go over the other dark rides. a couple candidates that would fit well would be Drachenfire and Big Bad Wolf, both Defunct coasters from Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

Here's a sobering thought... Sometime in the future...even Star Wars Land will be remodeled or even...torn completely down. It will be interesting to see if Defunctland is still around and what platform it will be on, as well. ;) Who can guess what things will be like in, say, 50 years? Any guesses on when Star Wars Land will finally come down? I give it...oh...30-35 years which will include it being repurposed for other themes. I think that might be generous. :/ Figure that we might have maybe 15 years tops for more Star Wars movies being regularly released. Even _that_ is generous. In general, what is the length of viability for an attraction after it's source material fades from public perception? I think we have enough examples that we could come up with a formula for how long something will last at a theme park... :) "...with strange aeons even death may die..." ;)

For some reason, I was much more freaked out by the mermaids who were gathered around the sea serpent? Underwater, they were truly haunting. Whereas the sea serpent was kind of par for a Disney ride? Also I remember the way the diver was pulling at the turtle with this rhythmic back-and-forth, back-and-forth. The movement was so unnatural and robotic! As the submarine sloooowly went past one of the other divers in his diving helmet, I suddenly thought to myself "That animatronic doesn't have a face under there," and it chilled me to my core. So ultimately, I think the fish and the humanoid characters were a lot more startling than the serpent, at least for me. Ugh, especially the fish. (Not surprisingly, I now have phobias of both fish and of animatronics. Thanks, Childhood!)

I'm actually in Japan right now and got to visit DisneySea this weekend and man am I glad I was able to experience 20k Leagues. I know its not the same as the original but man is it an immersive and cool ride! And I don't get the sadness over Journey, its arguably one of the best Disney rides of all time. Sure its not a drop ride but the interior is just so gorgeously designed and the animatronics are so wonderful I much rather it like that

20K @ MK Orlando was my favorite ride growing up. I was 14yrs old when it closed. Growing up my Dad would take me to Disney 2x a year he was as excited as I was to go. I lost my dad to stage 4 Lung Cancer a couple years ago and going through his things I found a ton of 8mm film reels he shot at Magic Kingdom. I been converting them one at a time to digital. Once I discovered DEFUNCTLAND I been binge watching all your videos. Man thanks for bringing back so many good memories I appreciate you!

I'd like to see Disney bring back Submarine Voyage because it was original, Finding Nemo is basically some scenes from the movie but underwater Edit: If Disneyland and Walt Disney World were to bring back 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Submarine Voyage I hope they'll use animatronics instead of screens (it may be hard to build high tech animatronics due to it being underwater)

I'd love to see them resurrect the 20K ride. That ride is how I got interested in the book and the character of Captain Nemo. And it's one of the movies that put Disney live-action on the map. So I'd like to see them bring back the ride in the way Tokyo did--by not having the subs actually be underwater. That would solve a lot of maintenance problems and allow for more elaborate animatronics. (And I'd like to see the Grand Salon restaurant idea resurrected as well--with, of course, Captain Nemo himself playing the organ and singing to entertain the guests.) Maybe now with the good Captain playing a role in Once Upon A Time, we can get the ball rolling on projects like these.

Super late to the party here, just found your channel a few days ago and have been watching all your content. It's really great. I'm so happy you chose this as one of your topics. When I was a kid I remember going to Disney World (I was 3 or 4) - and one of the only memories that I had from that trip was the 20,000 Leagues under the Sea ride. It really left an impression on me, and I remember really thinking I had gone under water. When I returned to the park as young adult I was very sad to see that the ride had disappeared. Thanks for honoring it's memory.

Huh I have vague memories of riding the Disneyland sub in 1996 (I was 4 at the time). when I visited the park a few more times I always noticed it was closed and wondered why it was never in service (until I heard they where making the finding Nemo version, though I haven’t actually been back since that opened). Fascinating hearing the backstory behind what was going on.

Journey was "sadly" not a freefall? umm... Journey to the Center of the Earth is one of the greatest rides of all time. if you don't know what to expect it just seems like a normal dark ride, then it gets insane. the first time I rode it i had no idea what to expect, and it instantly became my favorite ride at Disney Sea. So no, it's not sad, but a good thing it wasn't just another boring drop ride. I bought an annual pass specifically for this ride.

I wonder if this person has been to Tokyo DisneySea, but I appreciate that they included this in the video. I was worried they wouldn't since they aren't defunct. Either way, I think Journey to the Center of the Earth is more interesting as is than if it was a drop ride. The ride itself is interesting and has parts of other rides, but is unique on its own. However I felt like the ride was a bit tame...just a bit. Like every time you thought it was going to go all out it would slow down. Still a fun ride though.

Jules Verne. 300% more interesting than Star Wars. I guess Disney forgot that Lucas flogged Star Wars to death once already. The biggest issue with recycling IP is that it grows stale quite a bit faster. For instance, the aforementioned Star Wars was a movie that went out on a limb when it was done, and built on and popularized the space opera genre for several generations of sci-fi fans.

My family went to Disney World in the summer of 1971. I was 8 years old, and I had yet to see 20 thousand leagues. But I knew of the movie and the sub ride was drawing me like a bug light. The site of that sub coming at you on that first turn was amazing. It was a thrill I'll never forget. My parents were pretty thrifty, and didn't buy too many tickets.. Plus the line to the rides were hellishly long, so we moved on into Fantasy land. We never returned to take a ride in the subs, and it's one of my life regrets.
