How much did Soarin' cost?

[Matt7187]

Soarin over land..how is that odd? Mountains, Oceans, Deserts, Cities, Agricultural Sites, Golf Courses...seems like a fit to me.

I think she means where it is located in the pavillion.

You could be right...I hope I didn't come across nasty as I didn't intend to, just kind of thinking out loud about how I connect it to the land and think it is a good fit or at least as good as any they might have come up with. As for the physical location. Really the only part of it with a physical location in the Land Pavilion is the entrance. When you think about it how it is physically connected to the land as well as philosophically connected is some kind of happy accident.

EDIT: To clarify my statement. Picture it. You're in (on) the Land, you step out (off) and raise upward soarin over the Land. Almost perfect. You even have to walk upgrade to get to the launching part of your glider. The best part is that I'll bet that no one even thought about it, it just happened.

Everest around $100m in 2006, ToT around $85m in 1994 - which was about $111m when Everest opened.

Question is which was better value?

Do you have any other useful figures, Martin? We hear about the E-ticket price tags a lot, but do you know what figures for other recent, presumably more economical attractions look like? Perhaps for rides like Pooh, the Seas' Nemo ride, Buzz Lightyear, or the SSE redo. I'm very curious to see what Disney budgets look like when they don't cost $100mil a pop.

This may be contrversial but i think soarin was a big dissapointment for me, it seems to get massive hype and i was expecting alot more from it. Bet mission space cost alot to make?

Yeah. I guess so, but it's just so "shoved" back there! It should be featured more IMHO.

If the yeti worked, I'd say they were both amazing value. Unfortunately...
