Looks amazing. My (nostalgic) favorite ride of all time is still 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at Magic Kingdom, and this has shades of that going on. I always wonder about the upkeep on rides like this, as I imagine putting anything underwater increases costs and difficulty by a huge margin. At any rate, it's nice to see some innovation that doesn't require more screens. Also, I ALWAYS pardon your puns. Great headline. ;)
This is fascinating! What a wild idea. There are so many ways this could be used to tell stories for an attraction. But where would it go? I can't see Disney putting it into one of its theme parks, because it would require folks to change into swimwear. (Then again, other theme parks have water parks that are included with admission.) Maybe it would make sense at a Disney water park, like Typhoon Lagoon?
I think that'd be one way to go. But if other parks, such as SeaWorld or Legoland for example, jumped on this, they could have something truly unique to offer their guests. Pardon the pun, but I think they could make quite a splash with Aquaticar.
This sounds bonkers and amazing...and I fear our litigious society here in the states would never let this kind of ride happen here. But man, oh man, imagine what Disney or Universal could do with this!
You might be right about it’s reception in the U.S. But it will have a proving ground in Saudi Arabia. Hopefully that would assuage concerns and demonstrate its viability. And yes. Imagine what Disney or Universal could do with this concept. Talk about going under the sea with The Little Mermaid!

Thanks for the headline shoutout. I had fun with this one!
