I didn't mean that Frozen wouldn't be a good fit, I just think Soarin fits extra well. A ride about flying over the world is a good fit in an adventurey-explorey kind of park.
I'm really not opposed to either, and I appologize for not wording that part very clearly.
Lol.
Yes, I am obsessed with the g. I know you are just poking fun at me but I will try to explain, because I am obsessed, and it does bother me.It's like if, for example, a certain language never pronounces s with a z sound. So then Disney just spells their name as "Dizney" in that country/region to avoid pronunciation issues. Would you be fine with that?
Rather than having people learn the correct name and the correct pronunciation, they're going a different route that hurts the brand and leads to more confusion in the end.
The same is true for Soarin'. Yes, am I a bit obsessed over one letter? Sure. So this is the end of my g-rants... for now.

Regarding "original scenes" for Soarin' in Tokyo, I would think it's likely just the ending which would be flying over TDL/TDS since the each park seems to be getting a unique ending.

I just think Tokyo's hang glider looks so out of place in that picture, with not only a present-day family sitting in it, but also with present-day hot air balloons in the background. I like it though, I really do, it just looks so strikingly different.
Yeah that's what I was thinking.
But the ride is clearly getting original hang gliders when they could've easily saved the money and just used the design of the existing ones. So maybe there's a chance they'll film more new scenes while they're out filming their ending. With OLC it's far from impossible.

While I like both AK lands, they're nowhere close to the level of TDS.

I would argue they are very very close. Take a LONG walk around Africa in particular and the details are absolutely stunning. The only thing lacking is the merch inside of Africa, and sadly it is all generic Disney stuff.

I have said on many occasions that I think Africa is a better all inclusive themed land than Diagon Alley (basically arguing that the theming is comparable and the attraction lineup in Africa is better). I'm heading to Tokyo in a few weeks and will be able to compare lands in Disney Sea first hand.
The Animal Kingdom is an incredibly well themed park and deserves the recognition of being described as such.

Yeah I'm a bit surprised although OLC is reportedly fed up with paying for brand-new products from WDI.Except for that whole settling for the decade old clone attraction in the first place

List of clones or potential clones that are fine by me (at least as of now):Except for that whole settling for the decade old clone attraction in the first place
Toy Story Midway Mania
Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin (or whatever other names)
Soarin'
It's A Small World
Carousel of Progress

And there are more. I don't hate clones as much as I fear that the parks will become unoriginal. Sure, it's not an original ride, but Soarin' in TDS will have a unique exterior, a unique ride vehicle look (both that appear fitting to the land, rather than taking the cheaper way by using existing design), and one or more unique scenes. Soarin' also upholds the theme of the park well. It's a confusing view I have, and nobody will ever fully understand it because they just aren't me, but I'm okay with Soarin'. I wouldn't be as okay with other options. My main, end-all hope is that the parks keep a good balance of unique, non-duplicated attractions.

Looks to me like a Leonardo da Vinci flying machine, in which case it fits perfectly in theme.

Bingo.
