I've got a picture from the Christmas season of 1986 that has the Sub lagoon drained and undergoing a big rehab. I assume the Subs reopened in their yellow paint jobs in '87 sometime.

According to another site, the ride went down for a rehab in 85 and when they reopened, the subs were painted their explorer yellow. Hmm.

I thought they changed in 1989 around the time of "blast to the past" maybe that's just cause a friend was fired for crashin' subs back then? :)

In the 1988 TV special "Magic in the Magic Kingdom," the subs were painted yellow. This is the special where Sigfreid and Roy made Sleeping Beauty Castle disappear.

I guess we've narrowed it down to around 86/87.

I believe you're right! but were the subs open to the public then it seems to my memory that they where yellow and still unoperational? for quite a while? :)
