Disneyland's Submarine Voyage

Here's an old school submarine from Disneyland's Submarine Voyage with a little nod to the current attraction.

I was hoping to incorporate some foreground or background detail and thought nautical flags would be cool if done right. I ended up passing on that idea, but I had already made the flags. Each flag stands for a letter. And, yes, you guessed it, the letters spell out SUBMARINE VOYAGE.

Disney has a history of referencing a piece of attraction history if something new replaces something old. In 'The Many Adventure of Winnie the Pooh" at Disneyland, the original Max, Melvin and Buff are hidden above and behind the riders. You can't see them unless you turn around. In the 'Indiana Jones Adventure,' there's an old Eeyore sign in the projector room as a wink to the fact that the show building for the attraction takes up the former Eeeyore parking lot. In this case, I wanted to play with the reverse and have an old attraction contain a nod to a future one. Darla from 'Finding Nemo' has a porthole all her own.
