Today's Orange County Register is featuring the Finding Nemo Submarine Lagoon attraction. The Front Page main story is "Sneak peek at sub ride" with a drawing of Nemo. This story is not available at the web site, but states...
While the opening is still about six months off - Monday, June 11 is the current plan - Disneyland allowed a handful of journalists this week to get an advance peek at the construction site of the new Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage.
It also has a large graphic with some facts including...
The ride will be about 12 minutes long.
The Story line: The sub encounters Nemo - and faces a volcanic eruptions - and then follows the clown fish as he tries to rejoin his school of friends.
60 AA's will be used, and 36 fixed figures.
30 tons of crushed glass was used to paint 40 diffferent colors
7,000 artifical plant pieces
23,500 artificial coral pieces
2 seats were added to each sub to reach a new total of 40 guests per sub
Average speed of the subs, 1.36 MPH
Page 3 of the paper has two more stories, including this one

QuikQuote: The construction phase of Disneyland's submarine ride is about 75 percent to 80 percent complete, on track for reopening in June after a nine-year absence.
Workers are putting finishing touches on glass-speckled rocks, starfish molds and pliable coral and kelp in the lagoon. About 6.3 million gallons of water will be flowed in during the first week of January, Disney officials said during a sneak-peek tour Thursday
