Well, we missed the return of the LS by just a few days! We were there just a couple of weeks ago and were sad that it was all boarded up.
I guess I won't miss the hydrolators that much - they were very appropriate when you were coming off of the sea cabs and being "transported" to the undersea base. But w/out the sea cabs, they have seemed out of place.
I too am glad that the Nemofication seems minimal. I love the little guy, but in my humble (yet correct) opinion , Epcot has never needed much help from characters to make it great. With that said, I am really looking forward to seeing what they do with the new ride! And I certainly can't fault Disney for paying kudos to one of their biggest successes ever.
And hopefully, I'll have a chance soon, in all the Christmas madness (!), to sit down and write a trip report! We had a blast, of course...

Chattanooga has a nice freshwater aquarium. The other one you're thinking of is the Ripley's one in Gatlinburg and is a large saltwater aquarium with a moving tunnel.
I hope phase two works out well. I'm pretty disappointed in the fact that The Living Seas was closed for our September trip so that they could rip out the hydrolators (which I liked) and add some Nemo murals and music.

So are there any pics of Phase I out there? Come on guys, share the love
Tomorrow’s world approaches, so let us listen and learn, let us explore and question and understand, let us go forth and discover the wisdom to guide great Spaceship Earth through the uncharted seas of the future. Let us dare to fulfill our destiny

There's not much to take a picture of. Everything was just painted blue.
Aside from a bit of new signage, the only physical change was the enlarged gift shop. (And walling off the front half of the pavillion and the lower observation windows.)
Personally, I liked the old futuristic look a lot better.
On the other hand, the rethemed former Ice Station Cool looks very bright and airy (more Epcot-y), but it was closed when I walked by on the way out last night.

But all things held equal, Sebase will likley still be open through the Summer 2006.
It has been rumored that the whole pavillion will be closed for a short period of time prior to the Grand re-opening of phase II, but (if the current rumors are correct) this will likley not be till mid Fall 2006. Disney has made no official announcement to this effect.

Love the Living Seas
I've always been one of those people who loved the Living Seas, although maybe I only loved the potential of the Living Seas. What I mean is that it was a great idea-hydrolators, Sea Cabs. Sea Base Alpha, but it never felt liked it quite worked.
I also loved the film and the woman saying "Try to Imagine" and "the deluge"--great stuff.
So, I'm glad to see that they are trying to make the attraction better, and I'm glad that there are some positive comments so far. And Turtle Talk with Crush was great. We all remember what they did to the Imagination ride. I still miss that.
And, by the way, the idea for riding the turtles on the EAC is genius. It sounds better than sea shells.

She was very upset. I told her the hydrolators were gone. She looked at me, confused, I told her they didn't actually go anywhere. Then she looked at me like I had completely lost my mind, and led the group off in search of the hydrolators.
This is HIGH-larious!
Oh and whoever referred to "the Dell-oojhe" - loved it! I think I'll actually miss the movie. And I'd forgotten all about the tunnel under the reef! Can't wait to get back down there.
Will there be a Phase III? Or will the grand reopening mark the completion? Btw, I always miss "the way things used to be", but I will especially miss the old music and the 20K stuff (isn't this where Nemo got his name, after all?) in the curvy queue line - one of my favorite queue areas anywhere, for whatever reason.
