History:
The Seas with Nemo and Friends Pavilion opened to the public in 1986 as The
completion (since surpassed by the Georgia Aquarium). The concept of the building
was to take visitors under the ocean to 'Sea Base Alpha'. Visitors would watch a
short movie then take a simulated elevator ride to the ocean floor via a 'Hydrolator.'
Guests then would ride the Caribbean Coral Reef Ride in a "seacab" along an
underwater tunnel through the aquarium. From there guests would ride around 'Sea
Base Alpha' getting an up-close view of the marine life. They would then disembark
into the main exhibit area where they could interact with various multimedia displays.
