News Soarin’ Over California Returns!

[mickEblu]

I don't like the September-December holidays at all. The ugly Mickey pumpkin, the fake Rockefeller Center tree that's bigger than the castle, the constant cloying Christmas music being piped in on the Muzak. Once they take all the crap down and go back to OG decor, DL obviously looks better.

Now they even try to ruin the typical OG Disney season with things like Pixar Fest.

I must've missed that one.

From best to worst when it comes to decor and ambiance at DL

1. Winter after the holidays through the end of Spring
2. Summer
3. Christmas
4. Halloween

I must've missed that one.

It ran last year from Spring through the end of summer. Pixar colors everywhere.

If they're going to do a Christmas overlay on any other attractions the Matterhorn should be at the top of the list. Not Space Mountain.

I mean, a giant Santa Hat on the top of the Matterhorn would be kind of cool.

Even better...

Is there and end date to this? I am going in two weeks and would love to ride the original again. The new version ruined the ride.

EDIT: I see around the world has returned. Bummer.

So yeah, how about that 'Soarin' Over California'....?

Any word on it staying?

It really should remain at DCA, with 'Around The World' reamining at Epcot.
In this configuration, both are a far better thematic fit for each Park.

Soarin Over CA is Disney’s flight simulator attraction version of MSEP.

So I saw on twitter this morning, was too tired to think of copying the link, and saw a tweet that said Soarin' around the world doesn't look weird anymore if you're sitting in the sides anymore. Can anyone confirm this?

It still has a bent Eiffel Tower.

It will always look weird with the CG elephants and whale. I miss the Rocket Rods sign.

SatW doesn't showcase the most beautiful parts of earth.. just some well-known landmarks with more pronounced CGI activity.

 

[josephinelcajon]

I think they should have it full time on one side!

Soarin' Around the World is alright but why does the Eiffel Tower look like it's soarin' into Jumanji?

My mind must be in the gutter...for a brief moment, I thought that was something OTHER than the Eiffel Tower.

Ditto.
It's the 'curved shape' and ...um.....that rather pronounced shape at the end.

Oh my..!
