Here is a great pictorial tribute to Disneyland Paris "Les Mystères du Nautilus" attraction which would not have been built without the help of the late great Tom Scherman. Below you'll find great pictures of the attraction AND those of you who never did the attraction will be happy to know that i have posted on Disney and more MAX a great HD video showing both the outside and the inside of DLP Discoveryland Nautilus.
Opened in 1994 thanks to the beautiful work of Discoveryland show-producer Tim Delaney along with dozens of WDI artists, sculptors, etc..."Les Mystères du Nautilus" attraction couldn't have been built without Tom Scherman who, as Harper Goff had passed away, was the last one to know the secrets of the legendary submarine. Some of you may never had the luck to visit Disneyland Paris, and this visit of the Nautilus walk-through, thanks to great pictures and a HD video will give you a better idea of the amazing work that Tom and WDI Imagineers did on this attraction.

Thanks for the pictures. One of these years I'm going to go to every Disney property on the planet. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteThe Nautilus is amazing! This kind of thing is what I love in Disney Parks.
ReplyDeleteI just hope that they don't put Nemo (I mean the clownfish, not the legendary captain) in it.
