3.5 million sounds WAY off.

No R&D costs involved at all for Epcot.

I suppose if you include Research and Development and engineering costs on the original that wasn't needed on the WDW one, it might be close. But considering the cost of the show building alone, the second one seems a little low.

They both seem very off to me, considering EVERYTHING. I haven't seen Epcot's but the queue and show building alone at DCA probably costs more than 3.5 million.

I haven't seen DCA's for quite a few years (2005) but from my memory the queue and building is much larger at Epcot. I might have a faulty memory of this as I'm not getting any younger, but I don't recall being all that impressed with DCA's set up.

Yep, it's much larger at Epcot

DCA's area, building and queue:

Queue (mini-museum):

Seems pretty nice to me.

DCA's looks a lot nicer. Epcot's is just awkwardly shoved in the corner of the food court -- I mean, "The Land".

The film itself cost more than 3.5 million... Just a total guess here but I'm gonna go with north of 65 million for the original with the Epcot version coming in at 50. Again just a guess.

It's much nicer all the way around at DCA.

Reminds me of DHS' Tower. It thematically looks and overall, is better than DCA's version. Soarin' Over California's area suits the attraction better.

Well it has to be less than $220 milion cause that's the most they've ever spent on one ride (RSR). It also probably cost more on the California one simply because it opened earlier and had design costs to go along with it. So if I were to guess, I would say it was probably around $100-125 million all said and done. I'm using no intellectual theories here just guessing and throwing number ranges out except for the first sentence. Anyone have close connections to Mark Summer I'm sure he'd know the answer if he were willing to tell. He'd probably be able to give us an erection set. Whoops meant to say erector set.
