One more modeling related Disney post.
If you have not been to Disneyland for a few years you may not be aware that the Submarine Lagoon has been vacant for years.
Just a few weeks ago guests began to see increasingly obvious activity in the lagoon. A couple of weeks ago word got out that the subs are on their way back. If the comments from the execs and Imagineers are to be taken at face value the new subs are to be "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" Nautilus subs as seen in Disneyworld. They may also be adding a walk-through feature for disabled guests and anyone who can't or won't ride the subs.
A new Nautilus model is in the current Disney catalog. Limited edition of 3500, 31" long, some interior detail, cast resin with cast metal detail, hand painted $499.
