Soaring Over attraction and "The Rocketeer"

[crowdcontroltap]

I was watching one of my favorite movies today "The Rocketeer" and kind of had a brain storm.....what about using the Rocketeer in this attraction...it would make a great storyline..easy to follow and would have great effects.

Doesn't the Rocketeer deal with Nazis?

I don't really think Soarin needs a character to go with it. It seems that the Cali one is very successful without characters.

I would love to see Soaring having some type of theme and maybe some type of good way to cut between scenes. But the main problem is "The Rocketeer" was a great movie to about 15 of us. Disney will do nothing with a movie unless it is a money maker....they are still kicking themselves for redoing the treehouse here in DL j/k. But really Disney will do nothing unless they make some money as a tie in and there is nothing wrong with that.

Indeed i saw her in Labyrinth last weekend, great film love the charaters especially the knight mounted on the dog! She not bad either!! :lol:

Also back to Soarin' when does it open?

Soarin' is on track for opening in 2005.

As for the Rocketeer...
Never happen. Yeah, it's a cool movie, but it was far from a hit.
Back when they had the diner that was shaped like a dog on the backlot tour, most people had no idea what it was. Props and stuff from the film sat unsold in Sid's for years.

Anyhow, Soarin' will open with a theme of...flight. That's all.

Oh well, just an idea. Sometimes I have good ones and sometimes its just a brain fart...lol. I love the movie and Jennifer Connoley :hammer: be great if Disney did some type of re-release like they do with all the other movies. Thanks for the input my friends.

Hey, everybody!

WDW already has a Rocketeer themed attraction... only it's at the Studios, and it's more of an outdoor-vending type deal.

Peevy's!!! I think the full name is Peevy's Frozen Concoctions, or something like that. They sell frozen slush drinks (Coke, Blueberry, and Cherry). There's a rocket pack prop behind the cash register. Is the helmet there, too? Can't remember at the moment.

Good news! You at least get a little Rocketeer at Soarin'. The theme! I was standing in line, and I could swear it was the Rocketeer theme. Came home and YouTubed it, and I was right. They recycled the theme into the Soarin' ride. Just a fun fact.

There is still a nod to The Rocketeer at DHS at Peevy's Polar Pipeline Just look to the left and right sides of the interior..

Whats your point? So does Indiana Jones.

An indoor coaster like sea world's manta with some awesome theming could be perfect for this cult movie.
