Well, today was Disneyland Day 5. Today the park was mega-crowded. The monorail was just put back into service on 12/22 after being down for a couple of weeks while they were re-building the Tomorrowland Station over the new submarine ride, Finding Nemo. Temporarily, the monorail is not going round trip; it is shuttling back and forth from Downtown Disney to Tomorrowland on the same track while they work on the new submarine ride. The original submarine ride was shut down in 1998. It's hard to believe that Disneyland has been without submarines for almost 10 years. The new ride is scheduled to open this summer, 2007. From the
Tomorrowland Monorail Station, you can see the new submarines on their tracks. The Imagineers are slowly adding new decorations which will eventually be underwater. The submarines still appear to be the same yellow. I only saw 4 submarines. The lagoon is drained. Interestingly, it looks like the majority of the ride is going to be underground inside the cave. They've expanded the cave so that you actually enter it after just a short half circle in the lagoon. I've indicated in red where the new entrance appears to be (top) and the short part of the track that is actually outside (bottom).
