Not sure I like the new name. Why can't they just settle on something? :shrug:

 

[Lee]

Odd?
Wonder why the name change...
They oughta just call it "Balloon Trip Straight Up So You Can Look at Lots of Closed Stores and Clubs."

That will change Lee. That will change.


I think. :lookaroun

Aerophile S.A. is the name of the company that is building the balloon. I wonder why Disney would name the balloon after the company?

Cause they have no clue as to what they are doing anymore? :shrug:

Aerophile?

Sounds like a word that means, "Micheal Jackson in the air."

 

[wdwmagic]

Yeah not quite sure whats going on. The signage on the construciton site says "Characters in Flight". New press material released today calls it Aerophile, as did a recent Eyes and Ears article. So we have more Aerophile naming than Characters in Flight. Wonder if there was some concern that guest may be expecting to go flying with Mickey and Co?

Seriously...That sounds wrong.:dazzle::ROFLOL:

 

[Tiggerish]

Eeeew.


(to both the Michael Jackson imagery and the name of the attraction)

 

[SWatsi]

Oh lord. That's strange.

Characters In Flight isn't really right for this either. I don't imagine Mickey going up there.

 

[SirNim]

"Expérience Aerostatique A Lac Buena Vista"— that's the French name I'd give it.

 

[SirNim]

They can call it "Chernabog's Devilish Floaty-Fun-Factory" for all I care...

it won't matter since the entire populace will refer to it as:

"That Hot Air Balloon."

:lol:

Very nice.

They can call it "Chernabog's Devilish Floaty-Fun-Factory" for all I care...

:lol:

And yep.

:lol:

You mean, "That Hot Air Balloon Thingy Deal"

 

[DisneyDellsDude]

I like the new name. Simple and unique.
Disney's names already do enough to confuse guests. I'm guessing that's why "Characters in Flight" got the name change - like someone already mentioned as well.

But... if translated... aerophile could mean "air love", "air obsession","air friendship", or "air attraction".:lookaroun:lol:

 

[Pongo]

Aerophile?...! ?

That's a horrible name. So vague and unexciting and bland. "Characters in Flight" didn't really make much sense to me, but "Aerophile" is just awkward.

Why does this thing even have to have a name? Does the carousel or the train in Marketplace have a name?

 

[Captain Chaos]

"Hi, I'm Chris Hanson and you are on To Catch An Aerophile..."

 

[lynnie5150]

Do we have an opening date yet?

 

[SirGoofy]

"Hi, I'm Chris Hanson and you are on To Catch An Aerophile..."
