Disneyland Paris " Les Mystères du Nautilus " Attraction - HD Video

Here is a great pictorial tribute to Disneyland Paris "Les Mystères du Nautilus" attraction which would not have been built without the help of the late great Tom Scherman. Below you'll find great pictures of the attraction AND those of you who never did the attraction will be happy to know that i have posted on Disney and more MAX a great HD video showing both the outside and the inside of DLP Discoveryland Nautilus.

Opened in 1994 thanks to the beautiful work of Discoveryland show-producer Tim Delaney along with dozens of WDI artists, sculptors, etc..."Les Mystères du Nautilus" attraction couldn't have been built without Tom Scherman who, as Harper Goff had passed away, was the last one to know the secrets of the legendary submarine. Some of you may never had the luck to visit Disneyland Paris, and this visit of the Nautilus walk-through, thanks to great pictures and a HD video will give you a better idea of the amazing work that Tom and WDI Imagineers did on this attraction.

Disneyland Paris Update : Getting Ready for the 20th Anniversary

Hello Everyone, here is a long Disneyland Paris Update with plenty of pictures thanks to good friends from the Disney Gazette and Disney Central Plaza forums who have been very helpful as i am not in Paris right now and couldn't take the pics myself. As you will see the park is getting ready for the 20th and the last refurbishments are now over for the future enjoyment of all Disneyland Paris guests.

However let's begin by something which is not totally finished yet but will be soon, i.e the World of Disney mega-store located at the entrance of the Disney Village. The giant dome color bronze is now in placed at the top and the store which should be finished and ready to open its gates next September.









Close to the World of Disney Anette's Restaurant is closed for refurbishments until April 6.



Let's move to the Disneyland Park now, where everything is getting ready for the 20th anniversary. On your way to the entrance you can see the new 20th anniversary banners!



In Adventureland, after months of works the new Captain Hook ship is now finished! And it looks more beautiful than ever, with plenty of "gold" color which were not there in the previous version on DLP opening day, including on the figurehead. To help you to see the differences here is two pictures of the ship shot in the 1990's...





And now, a selection of pics of the brand new ship, thanks to photographs of Disney Gazette. The ship looks pretty different with its new colors, doesn't it? The new look is a bit more "threatening"...

















Nearby, in Frontierland, the Riverboat pier refurbishment will soon be over while the Mark Twain awaits its major refurbishment inside the recently built wooden shed near the Rivers of the Far West.





On Central Plaza the works to remove the big stage on the hub are finished and on the picture below posted by Steven Davison you'll see that there will be plenty of space to welcome the thousands of guests who will watch the show every night, starting April 1st.



Around Sleeping Beauty Castle the final preparations for the Disney Dreams show are now over and flame thrower structures which will be used for the fire effects appeared recently.





In Fantasyland, the long refurbishment who took place on the Alice's Curious Labyrinth is now over and apparently all thuya hedges have been replaced which is good news as they were in bad condition. Labyrinth characters have also been repainted.











And we arrive to the big event of the week: the Nautilus has been fully restored this week! I've shown you in a previous article in which terrible condition the Nautilus was - the exterior part in Discoveryland lagoon - and now this is just a bad souvenir from the past as they did what has to be done, i.e empty the lagoon, clean the whole submarine and repair and repaint it where it needed to be done. Let's begin this series of pictures by showing the sub in its previous condition when the lagoon, before the works began. The first picture below is from Fourche of Disney Gazette.



Next pictures are from DLRP-Welcome from DCP Forum.









And now let's have a look at DLP maintenance and painters at work on the Nautilus restoration. these first pictures are from MaxIllusion from Disney Gazette.













The next pictures are from Tristos from DCP forum.













The two next pictures show the Nautilus now restored and are from MaxIllusion from Disney Gazette.





And these last ones from Engineer of DCP forum.









Looks like they've done a pretty good job on the Nautilus. And the walls all around the lagoon as well as the bubble air system have been refurbished too. The lagoon will be re-filled soon as the refurbishment is scheduled to be finished on March 25th. With this last ship and the Mark Twain currently under restoration all DLP ships are now restored, and the park will look fresh and new for its 20th anniversary which will begin April 1st!

Inside DLP shops the 20th merchandise is arriving little by little and one of my favorite so far is this retro style items! You can see different styles of 20th merchandise items on Disney Gazette HERE, at the bottom of the article.







The highly awaited Disney Dreams show will have its premiere in 8 days from now, so the next DLP update will be dedicated to it!

In the meantime i remind you that that you still can order a collector copy of the DLP book. the final price now applies but we're doing a FREE SHIPPING for each order placed before April 31st !
