Changes

Aside from minor changes to Sea Base Alpha, The Living Seas remained essentially unchanged until 1998 June 1999 when United Technologies ended their sponsorship of the pavilion <ref name= "Martin"/>. With the end of United Technologies sponsorship, all references to the company were removed from the pavilion by the end of 1999 <ref> http://www.intercot.com/EDC/LivingSeas/index.html </ref>. At this time The next major change to come to The Living Seas took place in 2001, when one of the two preshow theaters was also closed in order to allow returning guests to skip the "The Seas" film altogether and move directly to the Hydrolators <ref name= "Martin"/>. Subsequently, in 2002 on October 21, 2001, the Caribbean Coral Reef Ride portion of the pavilion closed, with guests now walking from the Hydrolators, past the Coral Reef Aquarium, and into Sea Base Alpha (of note is the fact that . Although the SeaCabs remained intact after being discontinued, in January 2002 they were just boarded up) <ref name= "Martin"/>.
