- The soundtrack in the attraction features many of the original voices from the film including Andrew Stanton (Crush) and Barry Humphries (Bruce). An original soundtrack for this attraction, inspired by the film score, was composed by film & television composer Ed Kalnins.
Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage features over 60 animated figures, 7,000 pieces of artificial foliage and 23,000 pieces of artificial coral in a 6.3 million gallon tank.
Guests will embark on an expedition to observe an active undersea volcano. But soon after departure, they will be delighted to discover their favorite fish friends from the Disney/Pixar movie Finding Nemo. Dory the Blue Tang fish, Marlin the Clown fish, Crush the Turtle, Bruce the Great White Shark and the members of the Finding Nemo “tank gang”, are getting into the swim of things right alongside their submarine! Nemo and his friends are able to go along for the ride thanks to Disneyland’s new projection technology.
As with the old Submarine Voyage, the Finding Nemo submarines do not completely submerge; they are boats in which the passenger seating area is below the water level. For the Finding Nemo version of the attraction, two seats have been added to each submarine, bringing each sub’s capacity up to 40 guests. The subs have been repainted yellow and renamed Nautilus, Scout, Voyager, Mariner, Seafarer, Explorer, Neptune and Argonaut.
The diesel fuel that powered the original Submarine Voyage has been scrapped and the subs are now electrically powered
Three of the seagulls appear on top of a buoy in the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage lagoon. The periodically flap their wings and say “Mine, Mine, Mine.” They appear as Audio-Animatronics voiced by Andrew Stanton who was the director of the film.
Join everyone’s favorite Audio-Animatronic family—Father, Mother, daughter Jane (and her unnamed brother), Grandma, Grandpa, and, of course, Cousin Orville—for a very entertaining and enlightening “spin” through time.

You enter your 240-seat theater section in the first of its six positions, while guests in five other sections enjoy other parts of the presentation. After several minutes, the theater rotates to another position. You’ll stop for four theatrical acts. Your final stop is the Speedramp to Progress City. Go up the ramp to the incredible 6,900-square-foot model of Walt Disney’s vision of the city of tomorrow. There, the show’s dialog continues as lighting identifies various parts of Progress City.
The Rocket Rods queue area, which was formerly CircleVision 360, has largely been replaced by Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, which opened in March 2005. Portions of the queue still exist in the building, leading up to the Rocket Rods’ former boarding area. As of April 2011, the former Rocket Rods tracks remain vacant.
When the Rocket Rods were first opened, they opened much later than the rest of the rides, and were often shut down. This was partially due to the fact that the tires on the cars wear out very quickly, and the high-tech engines don’t tollerate the constant accelerating and slowing down very well. It was too expensive to keep them running all the time.
![As you wait in line to board Rocket Rods, you are treated to an impressive circlevision arena preentation of Tommorrowland: Rapid Transit. The announcer’s voice is none other than Dick Tufeld, the voice of the “Lost in Space” Robot. For about 20 years he was the voice of Walt Disney in all the motion picture trailers. The first thing he ever did for Disney he was the announcer for “Zorro,” which as folks may know Guy Williams [the original Dr. John Robinson (Lost in Space)] starred in.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/edb2b61f380436ff2cc5bb12ed8b01c0/tumblr_mmcuocwE4N1ql71s9o1_500.jpg)

The Rocket Rods are computer designed to make the rider feel the full effects of speed. They cars are open to allow as much air as possible to hit the passenger. A loud whining sound comes from the car to simulate an almost jet like quality. A hydraulic device in the front of the car tips it upwards when you acellearate so as to sort of magnify the effects of acceration. The cars are radio controlled. They use actually automobile tires, Michellins.
