(Disneyland, 2006) An original Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage ride vehicle concept model created by Walt Disney Imagineering during the re-theming of the Disneyland Submarine Voyage attraction. The hollow resin submarine model is painted yellow and expertly finished with navy blue ombre down each side starting at the level of the portholes, replicating the detail on the actual ride vehicles designed to reduce glare below the waterline. For the re-theming, the original submarine vehicles built by the Todd Shipyards in the late 1950s were repurposed, their diesel engines removed and replaced with electric battery-powered propulsion units. Created for Imagineer reference, the model was also used in presentations teasing the new and improved attraction, the yellow immediately signaling a livelier look and feel. Measuring approximately 25” long, 5” tall, and 3.25” wide, the model is in fine condition with only minimal wear.
