Theme Parks #2
Theme Parks #2 - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Disney World, Orlando
Opened 1971. Closed: 1994.
The first time I went to Disney World was my Epcot visit when I was 6. Believe it or not, my first visit to the Magic Kingdom at Disney World was the summer I was 10 years old. That’s right, even living in Florida I didn’t make it to Magic Kingdom until the ripe old age of 10.5. That visit was the only time I got to ride 20KL, as they closed it the same year (on my birthday, no less. They closed 20,000 Leagues the Ride on my birthday. Thanks, Disney.)
Being a sea life/sea anything fanatic, and at the time wanting to grow up to be a marine biologist, not to mention having read and watched the book and movie of the same name, I was really excited about riding 20KL. Pretty much the only rides I really rememeber from that trip are Space Mountain and 20KL. Read More »
