Canada Log Flume Ride Seems Unlikely

On my visit to Epcot this past weekend, I noticed that the new Soarin' building has been painted a very light blue, to match the color of the sky. It does a fairly nice job of camouflaging the building and makes Canada's pavillion still very visible from the American Garden theatre without detracting from the theming there too much.

One of the rumors on these boards a few months ago was that Canada was going to get a large mountain/log ride for that very reason - to hide the show building from Soarin'. Since the building has since been meticulously painted however, I would think that possibility is becoming more remote - at least if the Canada mountain was dependent upon concealing Soarin'.

Whilst the River Ride is just a rumour, even if it were to be built it would take potentially 2-3 years to be built, plus the time between Soarin' opening and the River Ride construction being started. In this time, Soarin' would still need to be camouflaged.

I brought this rumor out last April I believe, but since then, the project has been "red flagged," according to the Almighty Corrus.

Shame.

FamilyMan - too bad Universal doesn't have the rights to Song of the South. :rolleyes:

And he stated that there would be a backdrop behind Canada... :D

But probably the opening will come first... :(
Don't forget... Imagineering has a reputation for missing deadlines and exceeding cost estimates...

That's too bad...that was the kind of thing Epcot (namely world showcase needed). It would have given people a reason to head over to that part of the park during the day now.

I still like the Ebay idea...
"Seller: M Eisner.
Description: Genuine air balloons from Disney World. Taken out because I felt like it..."
