view of the lagoon

After about 30 minutes we at least got close enough we could see the lagoon up close - all 6.3 million gallons of it. As you can see, the formerly gray submarines have been painted yellow. Jeff says it's like Peter Max meets Nemo. For those of you who remember the old submarine ride, these are indeed the same submarines. When they were getting ready to reopen the ride they were trying to decide whether to build new ones or not so they had someone inspect the old ones. They were pronounced so well built that they have 40 to 50 years of life left in them, and they are already almost 50 years old! The original Submarine Voyage opened in 1959 and ran until 1998.
