LOL. My memory fails. I never noticed Soarin' behind Canada....whenever I looked over from WS, I would always see the ugly Millennium Building over there with Soarin' behind it.
I raise you this....
Wow. I've never seen this view before. Where was this picture taken?
And can we please get a "Godzilla" themed hotel behind Japan?

They're both totally not ripoffs or anything...
I'm surprised that Disney didn't sic their lawyers on them, especially with Canada using the distinctive glider logo.

Forgot about that ugly cake. I guess I was able to blissfully suppress my memory of that abomination!

And that makes it okay for them to copy a ride designed specifically for Disney?
If that's the case, then I'm totally putting "Mount McKinley Bobsleds" in the park that might exist. Someday.

I keep thinking that CMs should just make the tower part of the Liberty Square story until the trees grow in.
Tourist Family - "What's that big tower over there?"
CM - "That's the Old North Church. Some fellow rode through here last night looking for it."
Tourist Kid - "Paul Revere!"
CM - "Yep, that's his name!"

Anyone can buy a Vekoma Paniramic Flight Simulator. Not many other uses for them.

Ah. I was under the impression that it was Disney Imagineering who designed the thing and then contracted Vekoma to build it.
At least that's what they led us to believe when whatsisname whipped out his Erector set for the History Channel.

What Vekoma sells operates differently than Soarin' and does not do what is demonstrated by the Erector set. I do not know how the relationship is arranged regarding the system and if Vekoma copied or was involved with Disney.

That's at DL right?
You know, I'm not sure. I'll have to check further now that you asked. Either way, true Disney magic there....

Yeah, I think it's at DL. Micechat posted an update with photos. Ever since The big safety crackdown at Disneyland, they haven't been able to clean the mountain until all new safety railings are permanently installed without risking liability. You can see a temporary safety railing in the picture. Still an eyesore...ughYou know, I'm not sure. I'll have to check further now that you asked. Either way, true Disney magic there....
Yeah, I didn't pull it from them, but on Twitter. But an eyesore indeed....

Those look like parade barricades. They are free standing and would hardly prevent injury is someone is sliding down the slope of Space Mountain!
