The new Soarin' Around the World film is to open in 2016.

This was announced at D23 in August.

Just today one of my rebel spies informed me that they are testing the new movie for Shanghai. They said it is really good, but there are still some things being completed. They can't talk about it, so no details--but they were very impressed.

Is this debuting when Soarin' opens up from its refurb in January?

This is a bit vexing. All the infrastructure is in place for the new digital film. I'm guessing they need more testing of the motion control and scent (which is actually really simple).
My big question is whether they will debut the new film at Disneyland before Shanghai opens.

They will not. Shanghai is contractually obligated to premiere the film. The soonest the new film can show at DCA is June 17.
It's closed down Mon-Thurs that week, and open Fri-Sun.

It is currently closed during the week and open on weekends (Fri-Sun) until further notice.

Strange management decision there. Why close the most popular ride at DCA for the weekdays just because its ready to show a movie that they can't show until summer? I guess they are using it to program the ride for Shanghai as that building is constructed but what happens if the new park doesn't open on time? It obviously something they can swap in and out easily.
I guess Soaring has been Shanghaied.

Shanghai bungling has reached across the ocean. DCA's version is closed so Shanghai's can be developed without relying on anything overseas. At least, the ability to quickly toggle between the old and new is possible. That leaves the door open for special events in the future to bring back the old version.
The good news is that DCA's Soarin will be the "real" experience as it is what was used to develop the new program.

I just hope it's running on weekdays by May.

I hope they don't replace Jerry Goldsmith's score.

This is my biggest concern about the new film. Hoping the music stays the same, or is at least lovingly adapted to the new film.

I know a lot of people are thinking that but the current music is specific to the current film. It likely won't work with a new film.
I'm hoping for a new culturally diverse score composed to match the new culturally diverse segments.
