Oh I forgot about that, when I was there it did have a long line, which was exactly the same as DCA.

I believe a few people have said this already, but I agree, just keep your head back and look forward. The first time I rode, I was missing around..looking this way and that..and I was very queasy getting off the ride..but I have ridden the ride several times since then..and i just looked forward..and I have not had any issues since.

Mission Space will easily hit 30-45 minutes a side depending on the day and weather. If TT is operating it will have about an hour line with a lesser line for sigle riders. Soarin' will easily hit 75 minutes and will get even worse when it rains.
I would venture a guess that Soarin' is the most popular Future World attraction right now, but Mission Space is probably a close second, with Test Track bringing up the rear.
Would not put TT behind Mission Space at all. From what I have seen, TT is the one with the longer wait time. I also don't think I could say a close second for Mission Space. TT and Mission Space would IMO fall near each other, but quite a distance away from Soarin.

Did they ever have a line past 1993 outside of the high season? :D

There was a short line at Journey Into Imagination in December...but it was a very short line. I don't think there was a line for the Seas. I actually remember the Seas pavilion as having much better sea life and aquatic tanks than they had this past December. I don't know if I am remembering it incorrectly or if the Seas has less to look at than it used to? :?

With the changeover it appears there is actually more to look at since the "sea cabs" part was extended for the nemo stuff but no exhibits were removed.

I don't know, the main tanks just seemed sort of empty and barren of much sea life. The smaller aquariums upstairs still had lots of fun fishies and sea horsies to look at though :D

Tanks were not emptied out or changed from the previous version so odds are it was that way before.

Guess I was spoiled by diving in Australia since I was last at WDW...

I agree it seems like they had more fish in the tanks at Living Seas than they do in the last few years.

I'm glad someone else thinks this. Maybe I'm not completely nuts! :lol:
I'm waiting for boilerbabe to get back so I can ask her since they dove this time and I know she has been on a dive there previously. I'm curious if she noticed a difference.

Considering nothing has been officially removed, it could be various things (such as you hate that it's changed and now become more sensitive to these things :D), or they were just cleaning/changing the exhibit when you went.

No, I like the Nemo characters ~ I could do without them too, but I liked them alright. The tanks just really seemed to have less coral, fish, and other critters.
