20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA- FULL RIDE POV - 1991 - MAGIC KINGDOM, WALT DISNEY WORLD, FLORIDA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 мар 2017
- 20000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage was an attraction at the Magic Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World from 1971 through 1994. Submechanophobia. In 1959, an ambitious expansion of Tomorrowland in Disneyland was completed, which included the addition of new attractions, including the Matterhorn Bobsleds, Monorail, and Submarine Voyage. "Commissioned" on June 6, 1959, in front of Richard Nixon, Walt Disney and his wife Lillian, and officers of the US Navy, the attraction made use of early animatronics to create underwater life, and the use of forced perspective to increase the feeling of realism. Eight submarines painted in Cold War-friendly grey took guests through the attraction, which took place in a lagoon visible from Tomorrowland and a large show building hidden behind two waterfalls.
The attraction vehicles were not actual submarines, but instead boats in which the guests sat below water level. The interiors were a mix of metal paneling, rivets, and bolts, as well as Victorian-esque fittings in the form of passenger seats that could flip outwards, and armrests beneath the portholes, in keeping with the Goff concept. Each "guest" aboard the Nautilus had his or her own seat, as well as a round porthole to look out into the attraction. A small button located in the porthole recess was intended for defogging the window if needed, though this rarely worked. Located at the top of the window recess was a small speaker through which Captain Nemo's voice (veteran voice actor Peter Renaday, doing an impression of James Mason[) guides his guests through their underwater adventure.
The adventure began as the guests made their way down into the back of the submarine, bending to miss the low-level raised rear hatch, and finding a place on board. Throughout the voyage, an eerie organ version of the Disney film's main theme would play on a never-ending loop, allowing for a narration backing as well as a piece of stall music if required. Following the standard Disney-style introduction and safety notes from the helmsman, the narration, in the voice of Captain Nemo, would begin.
With the submarine clear of the dock, the diving sequence would begin, with hundreds of air bubbles filling the porthole view, creating the illusion of descent. Once clear, the Captain introduced himself to his passengers, and then introduced them to the underwater plains around Vulcania. In the lagoon, guests could see moray eels, crabs, lobsters, sea bass, clams and turtles as well as a host of smaller tropical fish.
Minutes later, in another tribute to the Disney film, an "underwater party" of divers would come into view, as animatronics wearing replicas of the Harper Goff-designed deep sea diving equipment worked kelp beds and wrangled with rebellious turtles.
With the bubbles from the waterfall at the cavern entrance simulating a surface storm, the Captain would order the submarine down into the depths as a precaution, and the guests enter the show building section of the attraction. Within minutes, the devastation such natural phenomenon can create was made clear with the ominous Graveyard Of Lost Ships, with shipwrecks from various centuries littering the sea bed, guarded by the silent, gliding figures of sharks.
Leaving the destruction behind, the Nautilus would reach the South Pole, circumnavigating the Polar Ice Cap from below the surface, and narrowly avoiding large icebergs stabbing through the water. Venturing deeper, the Nautilus entered the eerie world of the Abyss, where guests viewed examples the many weird and strange species of deepwater fish that thrive in such an environment.
Rising slightly, one of the final discoveries made is the ruins of Atlantis, along with a typical Disney-fied sea serpent, accompanying mermaids, and a treasury bursting with jewels and gold. With the ruins of the ancient civilization soon left behind, the Nautilus would enter the final phase of its journey, with a tribute to the most iconic and memorable part of the 1954 Disney film: The attack of the giant squid. After seeing a much smaller sister Nautilus trapped in the clutches of one such creature (Curiously marked XIII on the tailfin), the passenger submarine would be attacked itself by long, thrashing tentacles.
With a final push to the surface, the Nautilus would clear the caverns of the dangerous squid, and enter the safety of the tropical lagoon, on its way towards the dock.

The craziest part of this is the fact that in 91 they took one of those big ass cameras that record on film on an underwater ride
Submechanofobia?
@@mrnormal2322 Phobia?
@@wilhelmosterman8891
Yeah
Carry one of those VHS cameras around for 8 hours. No thanks.
They were actually boats not entirely submarines, the guest seats were below water level
I’m so thankful for people who even back in the day we’re filming rides. It’s the only way younger people like myself can ever see what this ride was like and the famous sea serpent who didn’t age well left to rot.
Let’s just gloss over the fact that the monster stayed in the water for 15 years after it shut down
poor boi
Can confirm. They did not move. Was my favorite ride and would look at it in sadness often.
@LeslieCake that would be a huge waste of money to keep powering them
@LeslieCake
And you serious think they'd be willing to throw some of it away for nothing?
@@lordgiygas8236 they do often keep powering dead mechanics because it would be more expensive to rewire it and take them off a specific circuit that is still being used
I operated this ride 1990 & 91 after I retired from the Navy in Virginia. I had a lot of fun. To bad they closed it down. The Cues were always full. I went on to the Yacht & Beach Club Hotel as a Bartender when it closed.
That's super cool!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE... and for being in the Navy ♥. Kidding, but Mark, that's really cool. You know how to live life.
First Mark, thank you for your service . . . I too, worked at Disneyland for several years, so you know you didn't work this RIDE, you operated this ATTRACTION!!!! Lol
I have questions.
1: did you see the sea serpent when operating? If so how big was he?
2: how was the submarine operated?
Nice 👌
Screw Ariel's lagoon i want this back
All of the area has been filled in and replaced with the 7 Dwarf's Mine Train rollercoaster ride.
If I was in maintenance I would nope out of there so quick
Lol
@@arcadegamer9546 I would have loved to ride this I dont even like the mine train :p
Candyeye AJ the mine train is fun to ride but waiting for that ride is absolute hell
You were years ahead of your time in the POV ride through world!
Haha. My Uncle was the one who shot this but I did watch it over and over when I was young. It's probably one of the reasons I love POV ride vids.
@@MikeKarschti thank your uncle for me. This ride was one of the few things I remembered to this day when I went to Disney as a child. I remember the tentacles coming near the windows. (Although in my memory it attached to the glass) but in the video you can see it's just a close drive by the extended tentacles.
Very cool
I think this is so better than the fake under water one in Japan
@@user-zp5vt1tu6b I actually found this video because it’s one of the only things I remember as a 4/5 year old child visiting Disney in 90/91! Thankful for these to prove it wasn’t a fever dream lol
I’m sorry but this is absolutely terrifying. Like the whole underwater thing mixed with animatronics gives me the heebie jeebies. I don’t know maybe I’m too young to understand what this ride was like
Dude, Disney is one of the most evil corperations on the planet..... don't you find ALL of their stuff creepy...?? I do.. but I was abused by the illuminati (Disney's higher ups) so..
ILoveYou you done
@@EmmaGodLovesTruth95 lol WHAT
@@EmmaGodLovesTruth95 hahahahaha very funny joke lol
I rode it two years in a row (ages 6 and 7?), and it 100% gave me the heebie-jeebies back then. I remember going past the diver (fighting the sea turtle) and thinking “that robot doesn’t have a face under his helmet.” Then I imagined doing maintenance or cleaning on this ride, and I officially had a Phobia. So it sounds like you understand what the ride was like just fine 😭🙏 I’m just sad other kids won’t get to experience the horror, trauma, and delight 💔
I wish they’d of kept this one open and updated it throughout the years, especially with it being a day one attraction, or at least its lineage traces back to both parks earlier days. The thought of an underwater ride featuring animatronics is fascinating. Although the two do not mix well, it’ was still a technical marvel that made the ride that much more interesting. There’s something hypnotic about it, especially the latter half of the ride.
They’d of?
@@DavidRamirez-vc8drYeah, “they’d of”. Some people, instead of saying “they would have”, say “they’d of” to shorten it. It’s like when people use “gonna” instead of “going to”
I remember riding this as a 9-10 year old with my brothers and some guy in he's 30's freaked out from claustrophobia and was yelling like a crazy man. He also defecated in his shorts. we were stuck there with the smell.
Rick Matt oh my god 🤮
Oh geez rick
Shut the fuck up Morty! We have to go back in *burp* time and stop that man from defecating!
Did that man not realize the ride took place in a confined space underwater??? Like?? It's based on the film 20,000 Leagues *UNDER* the *SEA* . I can't help but feel upset at how incredibly selfish that was of him to put others through such an unpleasant experience. Truly it's awful what he must have been going through, but regardless he should have known he wouldn't be able to handle such a ride in the first place, so why go anyway? Sorry you had to go through that OP, SMH some people
Stitchmeup he wasn’t scared of being underwater. he was probably fine underwater but being in the submarine could’ve been a tight space and a small space for him to fit in at and if it was small enough his claustrophobia could’ve kicked in and he got scared and sometimes you don’t know how to handle it
My mom said she rode this in the 80s.
Kind of wish it were still around. I would of loved the chance to ride it.
It sucks that they left it to rot for years before finally deciding to drain the water too.
I would’ve loved to feet a chance to go on this ride.But I also would’ve Had a panic attack because of being underwater lol
Jango fett Gummow wdym
@Jango fett Gummow this one you are actually under water this was the original one before they tore it down I rode it quite a few times in the 80s. The new one that I think is in china isnt under water it's an illusion.
Lol me
Submechaphobic
@@jasonmorgan1543 its in japan
I was 4 years old when I rided this submarine and never came back to disney until 15 years later (i live overseas). I can close my eyes and still remember this. I was fascinated with the fact that i was going to be on a submarine! remember, this was 1975. I was born dec 1971, 2 months later of disney grand opening.
That's so awesome you got to ride the original!
Are you still 4? "Rided" what an idiot
@@johnLennon255 How many languages do you speak and communicate in well enough to be understood? It doesn't matter really. The idiot here isn't the one communicating in a second language, it's you. Unshockingly, you are also the one who needs to grow up.

I didn't remember that ride being that long. That was great. One of my if not the most missed rides. Now I want to watch the movie.
Such a great ride and movie! So cool
I think I have the movie on DVD
I did this ride in the early 80s when I was about 10, it totally blew my mind! I wanted to go back and do it again as an adult, and was so gutted to hear it had gone.
I loved this ride as a kid. I wish Disney would do a retro themed section of the park with Mary Poppins, Bedknobs & Broomsticks, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and so forth.
I wish they got that submarine back
Me too
NAW 014 me too.
There is one that's off the coast of a Disney resort that you can go to
8:53 Sea serpent
10:13 Squid
my submechanophobia said 📈📈📈
i have the opposite of sebmechanophobia these are my favorites!
same 😭
Same bro.dw
Why is that obscure fear so popular?
JyOats I don’t really know but most people fear clowns and stuff I find submerged animatronics and stuff interesting tbh
I'm crying. Because I was born too young to see this!
Same!!!!
8:48 The serpent!
Thx
Alright, coming up on that part. Just a couple for seconds and I’ll be there...
This ride had the most impact, on me, as child. I always remembered it the most of any ride. Went on it in 1980.
Thanks for this footage man! It’s great to see what old attractions were like way back when
No probs! Glad you enjoyed
Thank you! I liked hearing how much the kids enjoyed the ride in the background. 😄
It's the best
So jealous of my Mum and Grandparents who got to ride this back in the day. I love this attraction so much, despite my claustrophobia and submechanophobia. Devestated I wasn't around to experience it in all it's glory...
The serpent was actually kind of cute
Yup. But his look did not age well...
no
I remember this ride. I was disappointed when it closed and when Little Mermaid ended up not really being an underwater ride (still a good ride though). Thanks for sharing.
No probs! That's cool you remember this attraction
I think that one mermaid with the mirror was actually reused in the little mermaid ride they turned the ride into later. Someone please confirm for me thanks.
The animatronics in this ride were damaged beyond repair after sitting in the still-filled lagoon for 10 years. It might be a recreation of the animatronic, but I doubt it was exactly the same one.
SonofaChaosGod oh yeah good point thanks.
Oh man, I remember this. I took that ride like in 1986. Good times. I was so impressed by the monorail and the fact that the monorail was actually going THROUGH that hotel (which I later learned was called the Contemporary). :D Only moments after descending from that monorail I was embarking on a submarine trip. Crazy. I miss the 80s.
As a an avid Disney fan that goes basically every weekend (I live only an hour away), and this ride having closed before I was born, it shocked me to say the least that this ride existed at the Magic Kingdom for a very large chunk of time. It's hard to see the Magic Kingdom any different than it currently is, I have been going since I was very young, though I was born in 2002, and didn't start going to Disney nearly as often as I do now until 2011, so much of my time going to Disney was experiencing Pooh's Playful Spot and New Fanastyland in the place this attraction used to reside. You can imagine the shock and just amazement when I found out this ride existed at the Magic Kingdom of all parks. For those who were there for it, Magic Kingdom probably doesn't feel the same without it, for someone like me who never experienced, it honestly messes with my mind to imagine a day at Disney where I could enjoy this phenomenal work of art. If only they were to bring it back someday.
8:47 is most likely what you’re here for lol
Is not the same :v
Julia C.N. ??
Yeah lol
Hopefully another guy buys the sea serpent so it won't be left to rot in murky water..
@@nebulaartzz its a little too late for that
I want to thank you for this.
When I grew up, my dad was a flight engineer in the Royal Norwegian Air Force.
He spent most of his time in the air aboard the C-130 Hercules.
But he was ordered up north to fly the P-3 Orion in the late 70's.
As a part of his convertion to the new aircratft, he had to go to Pensacola for an extended time.
I remember clearly him coming home with a new 8mm film camera, containing a film he'd shot in WDW.
And i spesificly remember the sequence he'd shot waiting in line for the submarine ride.
I was fascinated - but never got the answer to how the ride experince was.
Until now.
Thank you.
I’m glad you liked it :)
Such a fun, whimsical ride as a child in 1983. I wish I could go back.
I rode this in 1977 at the age of 5. I, too have vivid memories of it feeling so real! Wish my kids could have experienced it!
I have a vague memory of this ride when I was about four years old.
I miss this!!
This & Mr. Toads Wild Ride Were My Fav.
the sea serpent guy looks so happy and friendly why does everyone hate him!!
We have submarine ride in Tokyo Disney sea too but I didn’t know it used to be a completely different system and ride😯 it was really interesting🙏
I really miss this ride in WDW. The three times I went as a kid gave me lots of fond memories of this ride
I went to Disney world with my grandmother in 1975 and this is the only ride I vividly remember being on, although for some reason I recall the subs being Jacques Cousteau yellow. (Another favorite at the time).
That's so cool!
The yellow subs were on the Submarine Voyage ride in Disneyland. Florida's ride was always the 20,000 Leagues Nautilus theming.
I rode this ride around 1976 as a young kid in Disney World. My mom still has pictures. The subs were just like this, a green color.
Rode this near the end, probably 92 or 93. I remember it so vividly even now. The air blew down on us in the cabin and I kept looking up at the ceiling worrying that we were so deep. I was very young at the time, probably 6 or 7 at most. This ride is effectively the only thing I remember from my first trip. Literally. Only later do I remember the peter pan ride, toads' wild ride, and the updated tomorrow land of the 90s. I have a leather tomorrowland jacket somewhere that's probably a disney collector's fantasy original issue from the opening the 90s. But the 20K leagues ride was literally a core memory and the rest of it was there as garnish.
Thanks for posting this. I had a picture of those subs when I was a kid and thought they were the coolest looking things. They're still awesome. Never got a chance to ride it, but glad to see what it was like.
No probs! I think they are super cool too!
I wanted to ride this so much but my mom kept saying no, the line is too long. One night my stepdad and brother came back to the room late and my brother bragged about riding it. I was so mad!! Lol. Thanks for letting me see it this way.
This video has just brought back many memories for me! I remember being on a submarine of some sort during my first trip to Disney World in 1992 when I was only 7 years old. I fleetingly remember the distinctive shape of the ship, and seeing sealife underneath.. but I didn’t know until right now that it was based on a movie! Nice one, always love a nostalgia trip 😊
Omg thats exactly how this affected me. I had this vague memory of going on this ride when i was a kid...nearly 20 years ago.
20,000 leagues is actually a science fiction novel by Jules Verne
I went on this ride with my family when we went to Florida during the summer in 1989.
I remember seeing this ride in the 1980's when I was a little kid. All I remember was the shape of the submarine. The squad had a submarine, and the sharks.
I have seen a Walt Disney show made by him. He showed the ride as you waited in line there where young ladies dressed as mermaids.
Thankyou. When I went to Disney world as a kid they were dismantling this ride. It's my favourite movie.
This was my favorite ride at Disney World as a kid hands down
my dad said that this was his fondest childhood memory. it looks so cool i wish they would've kept it so i could experience it as well :/
I feel so privileged to have gone on this ride many times in my childhood and adolescence. It was so good, for the times. I’ll never forget Captain Nemo’s voice. Thank you for publishing this.
this was one of my favorite rides and loved it! thanks for bringing it back
As a little kiddo, I literally wore out the Betamax tape of the 1956 20000 leagues video... the first time I went to Disney and rode this ride (4 years old) was absolute magic! 😍😳 thank you for the trip down memory lane, it’s greatly appreciated! 😃
Oh wow! No probs!
The most intriguing thing about this ride, was that you entered the nautilus on the aft, or back of the submarine, left or right side, as the previous riders were exiting through the front hatches. You had to actually go down stairs into the submarine and file in line along the inside. The seats were hinged on the wall so that you could flip them down and look out the porthole. As a kid, you really felt like you were actually diving under the sea, but as you got older you knew it was just theatrics. Still though it was one of the coolest rides because of its uniqueness.
That was just so much fun.
Back when Disney focused on being entertaining!
Fans or whatever they used to blow bubbles really worked well at making it appear to move fast or dive! How cool!
Amazing footage. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
May I use this footage in a video I'm making about underwater animatroincs? I will give your channel full credit.
For sure. Just drop a link to my video in the description
:000 hi theme park crazy!
LOVE YOUR STUFF!
Never got the chance to ride this.. but looked the video up after watching a nostalgic vid of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.. RIP to the Classics
Ahhhh I've always wanted to ride this ride, but it closed before I was born! Thanks for posting :D
No probs
Just feeling grateful that me and my family experienced it in the late 80s
I'm so glad I got to ride this when we went to Magic Kingdom
Man what I wouldn't do to go on this ride! To explore the depths of the sea in the Nautilus, to hear Captain Nemo's voice again, and learn everything there is to know about an alien world just a few feet beneath the waves.
I wish I could’ve gone on this ride, but I was born too late to do so. Thanks for uploading this video
Thanks for sharing this! I was too young to remember going on this so it is cool to see! My memories of it were just from the pictures I have.
No probs! I'm glad you enjoyed
Thanks for the throw back in time ! I remembered the first time I rode this ride, I felt a little claustic . After that, nope....lol . Thanks for sharing.....Rhino
I hear you on that. I rode the Nemo version in DL a couple years ago and it's a tight squeeze.
I've always wondered what this ride looked like only ever having been on the one at Disneyland...this one was set up a little differently and the sea serpent had a really different head and face...very cool to see this!
I'm glad that you posted this video. I was just a child when my family went around 6 year's old. I remember the ride but never knew where it was or the correct name, I called it 7 leagues under the sea because I remember reading the book when I was young. Unfortunately in 2010 the ride was gone when I took my daughter Thank you for sharing it brings back memories
3:02 WAS THAT WINDOW CRACKED
Disney needs to stop playing and just bring this ride back along with ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter.
YES! OMG
Unfortunately, the ride cost way too much to operate, and required long periods of maintenance.
@@derpyliciousmiku not a good idea because it was scary
@@Octofox01 hence the terror in extraTERRORestrial
😂 my aunt got my grandfather to ride ET Alien Encounter. Us kids were too young and we got mad and jealous.. til my grandpa came out shaking and had to pop some nitro for his bad heart. He eventually forgave my aunt and laughed it off. Thank you for the happy memories, I lost my Pépère 15 years ago.❤️
I was 4 or 5 years old when I went on this ride in the early 90's. Not sure why the vague memory of looking out the window under the water popped into my head just now. I had to youtube search disney world submarine ride, heh
With the camera steadily trained at the porthole, and hearing the little kids’ voices, this video is a real time capsule. 👍🏼
That looked very good for a 1991 dark ride though! And I love the 90's video eight quality, makes me feel nostalgic. Little anecdote: I was 11 back than and my uncle also had a camera. My nephew and I have made a lot of great "blockbusters" with it. 😆
Its interesting to see what stuff was like before i was born
I have such fond memories of this ride! Thank you so much for sharing!
I went on this in 1974! Seemed like a real adventure to a little kid.
What a classic ride! I so wish Disney would of kept this ride, when I was a kid this ride scared us more than the Haunted Mansion!
I would've been too claustrophobic if I'd ridden it as an adult, but as a kid I loved it
i love underwater animatronics but my Thalassophobia could never
Look up submechanophibia
@@ethanstarr6435 ...I know what that is, i look at it every day lol
Lady Boombox same 😂
I feel so bad for that sea serpent
that cute thing was left to rot and drained away..
I wanna hug it so bad
Why would you cut out this masterpiece of a ride, disney?? WHYyYyY
Thank you! I miss this ride so much!
I loved this ride as a kid, but looking at it now as an adult, it is totally different- like, if you look up, you can see the surface of the water at 3:49- 4:20 & 10:50 (you're only under about 5 feet) and I seem to remember there was King Triton, Poseidon or Neptune down there.....
This was a great ride, but it didn't have much to do with the movie version that Disney made. In the movie the sub never went under any ice caps or found Atlantis or the sea serpents and mermaids. Still it was a great ride, it would have been fun to scuba dive in it too.
I agree. Still a great ride
this was based on the same submarine voyage at Disneyland
Sadly, one thing that references the movie is that tedious organ music drowning out the narration.
Thank you for posting this. I wish I could have seen it myself. What a amazing ride..
No probs!
Mike Karschti joe did you even get this footage?
It’s from my family’s home movies. I used to watch this vhs of our WDW trip all the time when I was a kid
Mike Karschti that makes sense
I remember the ride from my childhood; loved it so much that I wanted and eventually got their boardgame version
This ride was great! I remember it being stuffy and claustrophobic, but really awesome!
The first time I went to Disney i was 5 and this was my favorite ride. I went back a few years later and was so bimmed ot wasn't there anymore. I was looking forward to go on it again. Thank you for posting now i can relive the nostalgia.
That was neat, I rode this a 10 year old in ‘73, as a young’en this ride was Disney to me
I miss that rideee so muchhh
I was 2 when I first went to Disney World with my family, and I remember my mom pointing to the submarine in the water and telling me it's the Nautilus. We couldn't go on the ride since it was closed, but I do remember seeing it.
I don't know if you know this but I have a sick obsession with this ride! So cool to see it
+Ben Lawrence makes sense. The ride is cool AF!
I too, am obsessed. To the point that it takes up almost ALL of my time.
This was Fantastic!🌊🐟🌊🐠 Love the Movie "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea"! I own 2 Copies...What an awesome Ride! The Nautilus was so beautiful!🌊🐚🌊🐙
This looks like it would have been so fun to go on, but even if I had the chance I wouldn’t because I’m scared of being inside of anything underwater :(
I knew they had a submarine ride! I rode this when I was like 4 😅 thanks for capturing this
Dang man, I don't know why the had to close the ride tho. I wanted to go there
It was a cool attraction for sure.
Shaggy but cmon. I mean. They’re disney. They have alot of money. They could atleast afford to try and built smthn close to this...
Nate they were actually skidding through almost bankruptcy at that point
I remember going on this ride with my mom, sister and grandparents.. yep.. I’m that old. 😁
It was a amazing ride as a youngster. I'll always remember it!
Hard to see clearly but it brings back many great memories.
I rode this ride in 1991 it was one of my favorite
Just saw this movie last night and that squid scene was just *Chefs kiss* amazing. Was born in 1999 so I missed this ride by 9 years.
Man, this brings back memories...
My family and I went on this ride when I was a teen in January of 1988. Too bad it's gone now, but thanks for the video!
