20,000 leagues under the sea

I miss the old 20,000 leagues ride. That was really great. I believe they have a version at Tokyo Disney!

I wouldn't call it one of my favorites, but I kinda miss it too, especially since they didn't really change it into anything else except a meet-and-greet spot. I go to YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. sometimes and watch the 20,0000 Leagues Under The Sea ride-through video they have on there when I start to miss it.

Elvis,

Where exactly is Ft. Liquordale? It sounds like place worth visiting.....

Actually Ft. Lauderdale...It was called Ft. Liquordale by some during the 80's when spring break was encouraged here.

20,000 Leagues was a favorite of mine growing up as a kid. I epsecially like the 'submerge' part where you really felt like the sub was diving!
I understand that the attraction was very expensive to maintian, which makes sense.
I also think that it didn't connect as much with today's guests - which is understandable for an attraction based on a 1954 movie.
Progress...

There is an awesome dedication site that I visit frequently. There's a section of photos taken behind the scenes as the ride was dismantled that are not for the faint of heart. I was literally in tears as I went through them. Still, the site has some fantastic information and great ride shots and video. I love it.

I also posted a thread a few months back with a google image of the horribly barren site as it now sits.

Needless to say, I have to put the fact that it once stood (or floated) where my son loves to run and play, out of my head on our trips. I did find the wonderful sub carving in Pooh's tree on this last trip though finally! At least WDI felt paying homage was needed!

I still have very fond memories of this ride from when I was younger. I do miss it a lot!

As a kid, it was my favorite Disney movie. I remember when we first went to WDW in '74, it was the ride I rode most. I even talked my parents out of their tickets (remember tickets?) and used them for the last rides before we left.
