Nemo & Friends SeaRider Story 「ニモ&フレンズ・シーライダー」のストーリー
Nemo & Friends SeaRider is located in the Marine Life Institute at the heart of Port Discovery. Scientists at the Institute have created a substance called “Chidiminium” (チヂミニウム) which can conduct electricity and shrink materials. This new material is used to shrink—safely—a fish-shaped submarine with guests inside.
The submarine boasts artificial fish intelligence which allows it to think like a real fish and operate without a pilot.
Guests will dive into the sea aboard this adorable fish-submarine and meet marine life such as Nemo, Dory, and other marine life. Which leads guests on a thrilling sea-filled adventure.
「ニモ&フレンズ・シーライダー」の舞台は、ポートディスカバリーの中心的な施設である海洋生物研究所です。海洋生物研究所では海洋生物の研究を行うと同時に、訪れるゲストに海とそこに住む生き物たちを大切にすることを呼びかけています。
ゲストはここで、海洋生物研究所の科学者たちがチヂミニウムと呼ばれる特殊なマテリアルを開発したことを知ります。チヂミニウムは電気を通すと収縮するという特性があり、このチヂミニウムを使って作られたのが、魚の形をした潜水艇シーライダーです。シーライダーは中に人間を乗せた状態で、安全に魚サイズに縮むことができます。
また、人工フィッシュ知能を搭載したことにより、シーライダーは本物の魚のような動きをすることができるだけでなく、操縦士が乗っていない状態でも自動運転で本物の魚たちと一緒に行動することができます。
海中に潜り、魚サイズに縮んだシーライダーは、ニモやドリーをはじめとするさまざまな海洋生物たちに出会い、彼らと交流し、乗り込んだゲストを楽しくてワクワクして、ちょっぴりスリリングな海の冒険へと導きます。

Is there any chance of a “soft opening” in April 2017?
They usually run a Twitter contest (Japanese only) for early previews. As for soft openings, they never announce them so it’s entirely possible. If we hear anything, we will report on it.
