Unique Disney Submarine Dark Ride | 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea | DisneySea 2022

[2022] 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is an unique submarine ride at Tokyo DisneySea. Do you guys prefer this Disney submarine ride at Tokyo DisneySea or the Finding Nemo Submarine ride at Disneyland in California? Let us know in the comment below.
"Home to an ancient, advanced civilization, Atlantis is said to have sunk to the bottom of the ocean long ago. Some say the people of that continent lived on and adapted to the world beneath the waves. Board one of Captain Nemo's powerful submarine boats and join him in his undersea search for Atlantis." - www.tokyodisneyresort.jp
Both Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom used to have the 20,000 Leagues under the Sea submarine ride. Disneyland turns it into Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage while Magic Kingdom has become Seven Draws Mine Train coaster ride.
Ride filmed October 2022 at Tokyo Disneysea at Tokyo Disney Resort in Japan.
If you're claustrophobia, this ride may not be for you.

One thing I find interesting is how, unlike the other 20,000 Leagues rides, this doesn’t actually go under water, they just give off the effect by having water in the windows and blowing bubbles through it.

[@Steveobrine_Official]

This might be because in a previous 20,000 league ride after the ride closed they never drained the water and let the animatronics sit, dissolving for years. But the time they finally drained the water they were ruined beyond repair. This was probably done so they don’t have to go through something like that again.

[@hididdleydee]

Many sections of Nemo are actually dry. Same jellyfish here, for example.

[@romerjusu3804]

I figured that out when I was there. My mom thought we were really underwater. I didn't tell her that we weren't.

[@59thsurvivorofvhs]

The Cost to maintain the 20,000 Leagues at Disneyland was not sustainable. Break downs were constant and repairs were hard to do being underwater. Handicap accessibility is another factor in ride design compared to back in the day. It was an effort to get into those subs at Disneyland. Sadly this ride loses that feel. But the line cue and entrance to the ride is AMAZING.

[@timbarnes2259]

Oh, you noticed that toooooooo..

[@Brodrich]

It is extremely impressive how they can make it look like you are truly underwater now while to even having water. The old 20,000 leagues ride (that turned into finding nemo) was partially submerged which was impressive. And I only know of one submarine ride that used legitimate submarines and that was the ride that was at West Edmonton Mall in my home town. It got shut down YEARS ago but the submarines were positively buoyant so they could float and were held underwater by holding on to the track they were guided by. They loaded and offloaded via an elevating platform that would raise the track they were anchored to. The only thing exposed above the water line during the ride was the conning tower which served as the emergency evac and snorkel. They had to shut it down due to constant mechanical issues with the platforms and operating costs last i checked but the tracks and everything other than the platform and the submarines are still in the lake inside the mall. And yes i said inside. They have a man made lake inside the building.

[@docvogeld]

20,000 leagues was at WDW. It was closed many years ago. Disneyland Submarine was turned into Nemo.

[@Brodrich]

@@docvogeld I thought it was at both? They were nearly identical when originally in operation were they not?

[@downlink5877]

@@Brodrich The ride system was the same, as was the idea of a lagoon out front leading into a show building disguised by caverns. Otherwise different theme, subs, storyline & narration, and show scenes.

[@megschramm8307]

I love this! A submarine ride without being jammed in a narrow tube!

[@DLBlckwl]

Exactly! When I went on the original a few decades ago, claustrophobia hit me!😬 I slipped out the exit before they even began the ride!😄

What Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage _should have been_

[@zeroandjiji]

i agree..so sad they changed it. i love nemo but all of those projections underwater really take away from the atmosphere and i feel like it's a way to distract people and kids from remembering they are under water

[@cvdelsanto]

Except this isn’t really under the water at all. At least the view of the subs is under actual water as you look out.

​ @Adventures with Alex Just a double layered glass with water and air bubbles with great timing. It's very believable!

[@mackenziefritz8169]

I remember riding this so many times back when I was a kid in Japan. I wasn't tall enough for rides like Journey to the Center of the Earth, and the Tower of Terror had not opened yet, so this was my favorite ride in the park. I also really loved Aquatopia and the Little Mermaid themed land

[@Rosivok]

Back in the '70's I got to ride the nautilus in the 20,000 leagues ride at Disney land. Getting on a 'sub' and cruising under the sea was a great ride.

[@maskedsonja5722]

as someone who rode original 20000 leagues at Disney world this was amazing, thank you for sharing, fantastic!

[@thinkpink1021]

around 5:20 when the submarine was losing power and struggling to float back, you can see the merpeople pushing the submarine to help us as the shadows on the wall. More clearly visible when in person.

The bubble effect is genius. I only wish that they would somehow could move the bubbles along a horizontal plane. They only go vertical and move with the cab which doesn't look very realistic but still very smart.

[@benburch9560]

This is so cool to me because my first trip to Disneyland as a kid the Finding Nemo Submarine ride was 20000 Leagues Under The Sea.

[@DreamQueenScream]

Such a fantastic ride ❤ it’s on my bucket list

[@DocumentMedic]

Wow, that's neat. It is a bit reminiscent of the original 20,000 Leagues ride but with updated special effects. It is definitely more aesthetically steampunk than the original ride or the movie. Then again, the novel by Jules Verne, upon which the movie and the original rude are based, could be considered steampunk. 😃

The cars on this one look more like "Atlantis the Lost Empire" than "20,000 Leagues". And I'm sure the Japanese enjoy the Steampunk style.

Way better than the Finding Nemo Ride. I wish Disney World still had the Nautilus ride though. That was so cool even with the limited technology in the tank at the time. It would be great to bring it back now

They had a "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" ride at Disney World in Florida years ago. I guess it was okay. Getting on the ride wasn't like this. The ride itself was just you rode around this Lagoon looking at a bunch of fake stuff under the water.

[@robertholtz]

Recommend you update the clip description. “If you're claustrophobia, this ride may not be for you.” I’m fairly sure no one is “claustrophobia” - perhaps they are “claustrophobic” but it would be truly surprising if any of your viewers are “claustrophobia.” And if they ARE Claustrophobia, they would probably LOVE this ride. So there it is. Peace.
