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

[wdwmagic]

Slightly odd wording on the announcement. Open by memorial day not from memorial day. So all we get from that is it opens anytime between now, and then...

Yeah I think this is the first time I've seen that wording on an opening. Guess it's on an "it will open when it opens" basis.

Is this still looking to be open by end of May?

So take your bets- will the Washington Monument be crooked like the Eiffel Tower was? Or will they solve for that problem?

Can't be solved! (and no, I'm not getting into that explanation again as to why a straight object projected onto a curved surface will always look curved unless you're at one specific spot).

Bets on if they include Golden Dream somewhere in the score?

I’m looking forward to this, and I certainly expect to enjoy it more than Soarin around the world and I’m hoping there is no CGI created scenes.

However, I think it’s funny that this attraction has never fit its location at Epcot- first it was soaring over California, which at least showcased the diversity of land and how it’s used in a large state with a lot of variety of land.

Then it was soaring over the world, which would’ve been a fit for the entrance to world showcase. Now this version of Soarin would be a great addition to the American pavilion.

I suppose I should be thankful that it fits the theme of Epcot at all but still I hope that one day they do a custom show for this pavilion that truly is Soarin over the land.
