I don't think anyone knows, or at this point can even guess. We are going end of May, but I have told my family not to expect to see it this trip. If we do, it will be fantastic!

The report is that it resembles it, but it is not in any way related to it.

Neither Brogent nor Vekoma is involved.

I think I'm the only one who has said it and only learned that was so very recently. I too had assumed they were using Brogent's system. Vekoma does marketing and sales along with some engineering support for Brogent, who is the actual manufacturer of the i-Ride / Panoramic Flight Simulator.

Again, Vekoma does not make the Panoramic Flight Simulator, they provide services for Brogent Technologies. Vekoma is only typically involved with Disney's roller coasters and even then that is not always the case. There are many companies, some more public than others, that could build this system. Heck, the only reason Brogent Technologies got into the attraction business is because Eda World wanted their own version of Soarin' Over California.

Do we know who built the Soarin ride system?

Dynamic Attractions.

Mark Sumner.

Sumner came up with the idea for the ride system. Dynamic Attractions is the manufacturer who was contracted to actually build it.

I'm pretty sure the ride is made out of Mark Sumner's vintage collection of erector sets. Let's agree to disagree.

I think it's safe to say that one of the most genius moments in Imagineering came from Mark Sumner's vintage collection of erector sets. In fact, everything that's anything is Mark Sumner's vintage collection of erector sets. It makes up the very building blocks of life. If one were to study a sample under the most powerful electron microscope, one would find, in the smallest, innermost subatomic level: Mark Sumner's vintage collection of erector sets.
I, myself, am Mark Sumner's vintage collection of erector sets.

If this is true, am totally making a banshee bicycle for Halloween... or every day.

Been trying to work with that image but the quality leaves a lot to be desired, given the small amount
of the frame that the vehicles occupy. But they do seem to resemble that crude sketch, individual pods.
Lots of 'stuff' coming off them. Goggle things, (technical term!) what? So, sharpened slightly, levels adjusted
to bring out details, color corrected and desaturated a bit . . . here it is:

We also need to keep in mind that what we are seeing there might not be complete, there might be other components that need to be added.

That looks like they attached a sum of all thrills seat to a Soarin ride system. I really hope it's nothing like sum of all thrills cause that type of simulator makes me want to vomit. Was hoping for more of a Soarin style ride where your looking at a large screen. Is this ride in 3-d?
