Soarin’ Across America to replace Soarin’ Around the World for Nation’s 250th Birthday

[coffeefan]

I like this list but I don’t think they want to remind people of 9/11 so I don’t think the Freedom Tower/ ground 0 will be included. I also don’t think they double dip on Yosemite and let that be a Soarin Over California destination exclusively. In fact, I’m thinking there’s really no reason to include any California destinations considering it has a whole version dedicated to it. Mayyyybe just the Golden Gate Bridge since it’s so iconic?

I would be surprised if the most populous state is not included. They could go with a new location like Santa Barbara, Monterey Bay, Laguna Beach, Big Bear etc.

They can do a pretty cool shot of Waikiki/Honolulu and move towards Diamondhead.

Honestly, this country is so expansive there is too much to cover. Things will just have to be left off, which will disappoint some of us. No way around it.

Hawaii has a lot of options as well. I'm sure it gets some points for having Aulani.

I just looked it up and apparently there are 13 locations in both Soarin over California and Soarin around the World. So here’s my prediction for Soarin Across America:

In no particular order

1. Seattle Space Needle
2. Las Vegas
3. Grand Canyon
4. Mount Rushmore
5. Yellowstone
6. Chicago - Wrigley Field* / Sears Tower
7. Statue of Liberty
8. NASA- Johnson Space Center
9. New Orleans/ Louisiana Bayou (only because we saw them filming the swamps)
10. Washington DC
11. Hawaii - one of the volcanoes and beaches
12. Alaska
13. Golden Gate Bridge (again)

Honorable mentions: I’m definitely missing some Great Plains and farms

*you kind of have to have a baseball stadium in this one

Good list. I would say maybe not Johnson Space Center as I am not sure it lends itself to spectacular views.

 

[mickEblu]

Mmmmm…think you’re reading this one wrong

I don’t think so. Why potentially have people thinking of tragedy on a Disney ride? It’s unnecessary. There are so many great choices without the sad, negative baggage.

True I just think they might want to acknowledge NASA and America’s contribution to space exploration. And that way you also get Texas in there.

Serious wish list for scenes:

Mt Mckinley (Tallest U.S. mtn)
Olo'upena Falls (Tallest U.S. waterfall)
Mississippi River (Longest U.S. river)
Key West (Southernmost point in U.S.)
Barrow Point (Northernmost point... and NO cartoony CGI polar bears!)

I think you spelt Denali wrong

I think you spelt Denali wrong

I can't keep up with all these name changes.
How about "The American Everest" ?

I will go fly a drone over the cattle ranch around the corner from my home. Done!

It’s history…it’s not a “monument to tragedy”…I’d let the New Yorkers decide and they don’t hide from it.

I always say “Disney adults” need to grow the hell up…if they can’t handle a picture of the financial district in New York (which dictates everything that’s done in the parks they flock to and pour money down the hole)…then they need a strategically placed boot ASAP

I didn’t say it was a monument to tragedy but that doesn’t mean it won’t illicit a negative response from riders.

Hell skip the ones that are alive and fly it straight to Franklins BBQ

I don't think NASA will be included. But Texas will probably be included, be it a football game, rodeo, or historic city.

 

[mickEblu]

I don't think NASA will be included . But Texas will for sure be included, be it a football game, rodeo, or historic city.

What recent news?

Yeah if No NASA then I’d say the Dallas Cowboy’s Stadium but then again if they do Wrigley field/ a baseball stadium that might get repetitive.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

history? tread carefully there icarus, that might be taken as "socio political"

Let me say this slow for ya…

Something really bad happened 25 years ago…they dug out and recovered…the people most affected learned to live and move on and they don’t dissuade anyone from visiting/seeing it.

That’s not a political debate

See the difference?

They don't even crack the top 10 now...get with the times. Ok, off topic. lol

lol I’ve never been. I’m sure as Californian it would still be the best BBQ I’ve ever had in my life.

Just throwing out possibles. I agree they won't double dip like with Yosemite and Yellowstone.
