After
yesterday's article about the bad condition of the Nautilus - the exterior part - i thought you might be pleased to have a look at the inside of the submarine with great high-res pictures. All the pictures are high-res wallpaper pictures, which mean they will do great wallpaper for your computer. Double-click on each of them to see and get them in high-res. However, please note that pictures of the inside may be a little bit less sharp than the one of the exterior, as no tripod was used. You will also find at the end of the article a walk-through video filmed inside the sub as well as three others videos showing amazing models replicas of the Nautilus including one going under water like the real one!
Opened in 1994 thanks to the beautiful work of Discoveryland show-producer Tim Delaney and Nautilus specialist Tom Scherman along with dozens of WDI artists and sculptors. The attraction is a delight for any Nautilus fan. Some of you, dear readers, never had the luck to visit DLP, and you should like today's visit of the Nautilus walk-through.
Here we go, and let's begin by some exterior views.
Before the entrance, guests can have a look to this Nautilus map.
Here is a picture of the entrance hallway where you can hear the voice of Captain Nemo welcoming you.
The entrance of the submarine, with the treasure room in the back.
The first room is Captain Nemo's bedroom. Here is different views of it.
The next one is the beautiful map room...
....where guests can also see a map of Vulcania Island.
Next room is the diving room - the diving suits were made by Tom Scherman himself.
We arrive then, in the famous Grand Salon of Captain Nemo where guests can watch a giant squid attack...
...and hear the sound of the organ...
...where Captain Nemo appear regularly.
Right behind is the Machine room...
And then the exit...
Guests go back to the surface by walking through this hallway.
Beautiful view of Discoveryland await them as soon as they go out.
Let's end with more pictures of the Nautilus outside.
I did recently a video showing you the whole Nautilus and you can watch it either below or also in larger size on my Tom Scherman site where you'll find
also some panoramic pictures HERE.
Now, as we're talking about the Nautilus here is a video of what is probably the best Nautilus model i've ever seen, with mechanical parts, etc...done by a great modeler named Bob Martin, don't miss it!
Bob has already received the fantastic Nautilus replica released by EFX collectibles, and he's even doing some enhancements on it! Since two years i've let you know about this EFX Nautilus replica, the production took quite a while but it looks like a great collectible piece!
And guess what, he also did a Nautilus which is not only floating and moving in the water but also diving under water like the real one! Check this on this next video. Bob Martin also have a web site that you can check
HERE.
Hope you've enjoyed this Nautilus visit and, by the way, there is dozens more of even more beautiful pictures of the Nautilus in the Disneyland Paris book that will be reprint for sure next month, and that's one more good reason to pre-order your collector copy right now, specially considering that during the pre-order period which will end in a few weeks you also have a 20% discount on what will be the final price of the book.
