I know I am quoting myself, but I wanted to apologize in advance because I have definitely talked too soon.

So I just noticed on the Orlando Parks News site that they have an update for Soarin'. Apparently they are reporting that the queue is going to be completely rethemed. There is also some other tidbits of information about the project including where the construction trailer is located, where a new footer has been poured, and that there is a crane onsite for this imminent project.

If any ride ever needed a new queue or interactive queue, it is Soarin.
Just don't change the pre-ride check video with Patrick. That is good stuff there.

Here's hoping, that's a miracle if it's true. Blandest queue in WDW; it's dull as heck in there if you opt for standby. The AC and the extra wide queue space is nice, but that's about all it has going for it, especially if the games aren't working (which is often).
I'd be curious to see how they'd do it. Further integration/transititon with the "Land" theme would be nice.
EDIT: I second keeping Patrick. At least bring him back to film a new video.

Went back and looked at the 3 "Project 87" NOC's in the permits thread:
The "Add facility to Existing Attraction" (address 1994) and "Attraction Rehab" (address 2006) permits expire Sept 2016. I suppose these be for the third theater and the new queue that OTPN mentioned recently?
The "Trailer" permit (address 1994a) doesn't expire until December 2017. Does this seem to indicate that more work is planned in that area after the queue and third theater are complete or do trailers typically stay a while?

That date is interesting because that is the same end date used on all the Disney Springs permits by the same contractor (PCL Construction).

Do you have a link? Also, what's being poured? I didn't quite get that.
Concrete.

Oh, I got confused for a moment there. All this construction technical lingo is confusing...
You get use to it after a couple decades.

Does anyone remember the big discussion back a year or so ago concerning how "Footings" are actually "Foundations" and that the use of "Footings" was incorrect. That was a person with a lot of time on their hands.

They are so excited to see a crane backstage for Soarin' - when in reality that crane is being used for roof work at The Land. But - hey, whatever gets the clicks.

I don't want to open this can of worms, but if any attraction deserves a refurb its Journey, or Wonders of Life........ IMHO. Those pavilions NEED attention out of pure asthetic for starters.While a third theater is important, I wouldnt consider Soarin in dire need of a renovation at the moment. I feel like the same five things get attention all the time.
In their defense, they were very clear that the connection between the crane and Soarin was just speculation.

Indeed. I think for his work in Disney features, animated series, and this, he should be a future Disney Legend. (Go Team Venture!)
