Finding Nemo: Submarine VoyageFinding Nemo: Submarine Voyage is a dark ride in Tomorrowland at Disneyland. Scroll down for readers' ratings and reviews. Written by Laurie smith The Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage features brand new technology. Along with looking at animatronic sea life through the port holes, visitors to Disneyland will view images projected. Because there will be a space in between the effects box and the port hole, it will appear as though the characters from Finding Nemo are actually swimming in the water right outside your submarine! The lines are somewhat calm on weekdays and late nights, around 11 PM, reaching from 75 minutes to 60 minutes. The subs load/ unload slowly, yet it is worth the wait. The line now rarely wraps around the lagoon except during the mid day rush. Note: The last person to board may get the seat that was added to the ride. It is located on the staircase and not very comfortable for long legged people. It is a spiral staircase with tiny wedge shaped steps that make it hard to go down if one has high heels or lack of feeling in one's feet. Disabled Guests: There is an accessible entrance and disabled guests are loaded last so they do not have to walk far. Guests who cannot enter the submarine may view the ride in a screening room without leaving their wheelchair or ECV. Some guests may have sensory issues with the darkness at times in the submarine as well as claustrophobia. It is a gentle ride and should not cause problems for persons with back issues but do watch the seat backs which are metal pipes.

Yes the ride rocks. The small windows are the size of small rocks. - Skipper Adam Didnt really like it that much. isnt worth the wait times it usually gets. - N O The storyline is weak, but think of the bigger picture. It is a small price to pay for having Disney submarines running once again. - Man-Eating Sharks An excellent update on the classic Submarine Voyage ride. The Disney Imagineers sure made a smart move with bringing back and adding the cast of Finding Nemo, which was a very good addition, considering how it can now be more easily enjoyed by children. Now if only the Imagineers could try bringing back the PeopleMover (maybe with an Incredibles or Wall*E theme). - Bryce Lewis good ride . its just a really long wait. - nick ...... The water effects are actually kind of cool, but if you want to save some time and money, go home, cut a small whole in a cardboard box, crawl into the box, and watch Finding Nemo through the little hole. Seriously. - Andy B A very unique and fun attraction containing beautiful effects with some surprises along the way. Fun for everyone. There is a portion of the ride where it is pitch black for about a minute; if you are claustraphobic or your child hates dark places try Autopia instead. - Thomas Furlong This is a very well-done attraction, but I don't believe that it's worth the long wait that's caused by the ride's slow loading and low riders-per-hour capacity. If the waiting time is less than 60 minutes, join it. It really is a great attraction with some outstanding special effects, but it's not worth more than an hour in line. - John Quinteros Finding Nemo is an excellent ride. The imagineers did a good job of setting up the lagoon and adding the video effects of the fish. This ride is an upgrade from the old one and it sure is nice to see the lagoon with some life again. This is a fun ride that the entire family will enjoy. Something they won't enjoy are the waits. Since this ride is still pretty new, lines are pretty long. Even though waits aren't as long as last year the lines are still long. My recommendation is to visit this ride at night(after 9 p.m.) It is a mad blitz to Nemo in the morning and you will still probably wait about 40 minutes or more, and I'd rather go to other places like Indiana Jones or Space Mountain. The queue for the Subs is basic and unthemed and has very little shade from the sun so stand in line at night. The wait stated on the board is longer than what you will actually wait. Where the board says 60 minutes from this point right before the line goes single file around the lagoon, your actual wait will be about 40-45 minutes. Anyway this is a must ride and what is sure to become a Disneyland classic. - Manny Barron More attraction and restaurant ratings:
