Looking forward to this. A stab at a possible line up (no particular order):

Denali (Alaska)
Volcano (Hawaii)
Yellowstone bison herd
Wheat farm
Mt. Rushmore
Alamo
Mardi Gras
Statue of Liberty
Everglades
Baseball game
Gateway Arch
New England fishing boats
Disneyland

No Grand Canyon?

I think the list would likely go:

Golden Gate
Statue of Liberty
Something in D.C. (I think flying along the reflecting pool up to the Lincoln Memorial would fit really well and tie into a return of Great Moments next door)
Grand Canyon
Monument Valley
Mount Rushmore
Some farmland, either in the south or Midwest
Yellowstone (likely Old Faithful)
Up the coast of like Myrtle Beach or somewhere in the Carolinas
Along the river in downtown Chicago
Hawai'i
Mt. McKinley
Downtown LA again
Disneyland

In the spirit of predicting, my two to throw in the ring:
  • I think this may be the first stateside Soarin' that doesn't end in the park. I think we're getting a Statue of Liberty fireworks finale with this one.
  • I think we'll inherit a version of Soaring Fantastic Flight's intro with a bald eagle instead of a falcon.
I'm curious if they'll go for CGI transitions or return to form with theatrical hard cuts. And maybe not a prediction, but I'd love for them to incorporate "Golden Dream" into the score somehow.

OMG they are actually doing something for the anniversary! Give me special fireworks at Disneyland too.

All I know is if Sam the Eagle from America Sings makes his way to any merch I’m buying it. They should definitely do a new fireworks show that pays homage to America Sings too. I’ll bring this up in the next meeting.
