On October 14, 1971, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea opened at Magic Kingdom. The attraction at Walt Disney World was based on the 1954 Disney live-action film by the same name. The attraction recreated the events that took place aboard the Nautlis in the classic film.
Guests would climb aboard one of twelve different Nautilus submarines and join Captain Nemo to explore the depths of the ocean. Along the way visitors would encounter exotic sea life, mermaids, underwater cities, and even come face to face with the monstrosities of the ocean's depths.
The attraction was shut down on September 4, 1995 and is now just a giant tank of water with nothing replacing it at this time. Some of the submarines are now sunk off of Castaway Cay, Disney's private island in the Caribbean.
