/* Attraction History */
When creating a new attraction for the pavilion, Imagineers decided to reuse the track from the closed Caribbean Coral Reef Ride (also known as the SeaCabs). This onmnimover attraction had originally transported guest's from the pavilion's preshow area, through the 5.8 million gallon Caribbean Coral Reef Aquarium, and to SeaBase Alpha. In order to create the new attraction however, Imagineers needed more track. To do this, they extended the original Caribbean Coral Reef Ride track 280 feet. The Seas with Nemo & Friends (as the attraction would be called) now took up the area that previously housed The Living Seas' first preshow theater, holding area, Hydrolators and queue for the Caribbean Coral Reef Ride. Finally, the old SeaCab ride vehicles were repurposed and turned into the "Clamobiles" that take guests through The Seas with Nemo & Friends.
Overseen by Imagineer Jerre Kirk, The Seas with Nemo & Friends featured cutting edge technology to tell a story. In order to create the attraction's first three scenes (which are set in a coral reef), Imagineers used "very thin castings of fiberglass", which had never been done before <ref name= "exploreears"> https://www“Imagineers Bring Nemo's World to Life.explorethemagic” Eyes and Ears, 28 Sept.com/forums/47-current-attractions-and-updates/5638-the-seas-with-nemo-friends2005.html </ref>. Perhaps most impressively however, the final scene in The Seas with Nemo & Friends features the attraction's animated characters swimming with real marine life in the pavilion's Coral Reef Aquarium. In order to create this effect, Disney needed another piece of breakthrough technology. Research and Development Designer Alfredo Ayala came up with the new projection technology that allowed Disney to insert the characters into the tank using special effect glass <ref name= "explore"/>. According to WDI Vice President Kathy Mangum:{{Quotation| “He [Alfredo] played with it, developed it, and set up a demonstration. That demonstration really opened up the opportunity for us to create the finale. The technology really drove what the creative application could be.” <ref name="magicears"/>}}
After much trial and error with the new projectors, Imagineers were able to create the environment that they wanted <ref name= "exploreears"/>. In order to make sure the animation in the attraction was in line with the film, representatives from Pixar were on hand to help with the new attraction <ref name= "magicears"> http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/nemo-ride-description-spoilers.97827/ </ref>. Finally, on January 24, 2007 The Seas with Nemo & Friends was officially rededicated and opened to the public <ref name= "Martin2"/>.
