Environmentality is changing the way attractions are designed at the Disneyland Resort. Imagineers working on the new Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage utilized a combination of new and tested technologies in making an environmentally progressive attraction. For example, the submarine vehicles have undergone extensive upgrades, replacing their diesel engines with a cleaner alternative that uses a familiar technology called Inductive Power Transfer. This technology uses two magnetically controlled pairs of coils that transfer power to one another without touching, creating zero-emission vehicles and saving costs related to fuel consumption and fuel delivery.

In addition, Imagineers developed a new technology for use in their designs of the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. Since chlorinated water causes the colors of paints to fade quickly, Imagineers were challenged to find a product that produces brilliant colors while complying with environmental standards. As a result, Imagineers invented their own method of painting scenery with recycled glass. More specifically, recycled glass bottles were broken down and recomposed into glass pieces, which were then crushed and applied onto the surface of the submarine tank using a zero-percent volatile organic compound epoxy. To date, Imagineers have created 45 custom colors and used nearly 30 tons of recycled glass in the design of the lagoon.
