Soarin' Expansion and new Soarin' Around the World film

[Pluto89]

The original "film" was on film, but a digital version was made because that is what is running in DCA.

Yay! I was correct

Thanks for the clarification!

Maybe this is else where but hoping someone knows... When Soarin and Frozen open will they be in Tier 1 along with TT when booking fast passes.

More like Tier Zero. You'll have zero chance of getting on the ride unless you book Fastpass 60 days in advance.

FINALLY a reason to visit!!!

I'd love to see the original Soarin' in digital before the new movie opens in June.

As much as I love the score for the original Soarin', I hope that the new movie has a new musical score. After all, we'll always be able to see the original Soarin' (and hear its music) on YouTube.

Okay, so I I just relooked at the name of the attraction coming to Shanghai. Wow. I am very sad and astonished to now know that it will be called Soaring Over the Horizon. Yes, Soaring! Inggggg! I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the world Soaring was in the title. I don't care if it has something to do with translation. In English it is called Soarin', and it is without question a crime to add a g to the end. Regardless of any reason they can come up with. This blunder only throws a bone to those on here who have called it Soaring over the years. So annoying.

Actually, in English it is Soaring. In English slang it is Soarin. I don't think they will change anything about that even if it is different in China. They probably don't know slang. Or, heck it might even be a typo.

Small update: the new Soarin offers 12 scenes from 6 continents. Add the Matterhorn to Great Wall, Sydney, and WDW.

Do we know if the WDW scene is Magic Kingdom or Epcot?

This is the best news of the day. All the announcements are great but this just seems to be the sleeper hit of the bunch.

We hope Epcot. We expect Magic Kingdom.
tl;dr no

After 57 years WDW is finally getting the Matterhorn. ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!!!

I remember when the helicopters flew over a couple years back--there was a report here. Can't remember which park it was.

I'm actually thinking they did both.

No, the name of the attraction in the United States is Soarin' and it has been since opening in 2001. The name in China will be Soaring.

I'm still secretly hoping for 2 or 3 film versions, even if it's the same destinations but arranged in a different order, or viewed from a different angle.

Would have been a nice touch...
