Soarin' Expansion and new Soarin' Around the World film

Can they please make B in the middle.. I can't handle it out of order.

That bothers me too

That bothers me too

Alpha Bravo & Center Theaters...

 

[Goofyernmost]

Uh....I asked why change to letters if they were going to stay out of order?

I understand, but what makes that sequence out of order to you. I'm not sure that an identifying, close by sequence can be out of order. Look to your left it's "A", look to your right it's "B", look straight ahead it's "C". In other words it is a totally bogus concern that has no impart on anything and only bothers those with an obsessive nature. And why couldn't have been A to the right, B straight ahead and C to the left. Don't some cultures read from right to left?

 

[Herah]

If they weren't going to put them in order, I wonder why they didn't just add theater 3.

Making it A, 3, B? That would also seem odd...

I'm curious now about when it was changed and why. It's definitely been letters for a while.

 

[Texas84]

Let's overthink this some more. Airport concourses are letters and gates are numbers. When a new airport concourse is built the old letters are not changed to reflect a sense of order. That would require too many changes in signing, ticketing and systems. Now I'm sure someone will come up with an airport in western Bolivia to prove me wrong.

 

[Tom Morrow]

Yeah, I assumed it had to do with not wanting to re-label concourse B. But then the question is, when and why did they change them from 1&2 to A&B?

Exactly what I was asking. You worded it better.

Where's what's-his-face with his Erector set?

I remember him and the erector set from one of the Travel Channel specials. Don't know why that's always stuck out to me but it always makes me smile when someone references it.

I think that was Modern Marvels.

I think that was Modern Marvels.

I watched so many of those Disney specials as a kid I'm pretty sure they all blurred together in my memory.

 

[halltd]

Also, the loading zones are A B and C, so I think it's weird to have concourses and gates both lettered the same. Just my two cents.

 

[R2D2 1982]

It was A and B last summer, at least.

Nope... It has always been 1 and 2. They changed that during the refurb the cast used to call it A and B.

UPDATE: In-Queue World Trivia Game testing has now been delayed to Monday. From what I have heard it should start at around 10am and last for a few hours. I've also heard that there will be 1-2 additional "soft opens" of the world trivia game before the grand open on the 17th.

Just a reminder in case anyone will be at Epcot between 10am and 12pm tomorrow Sadly I won't, but I'm hoping someone can check it out and take pictures / report back.

We aren't in those cultures.

 

[Goofyernmost]

We aren't in those cultures.

Didn't say we were. Do you have a point to be made? I ask because I did, and that point was that the order of things is something that not only is in the mind of individuals, but, should be controllable to the extent that the question of sequence should even come up at a fake "airport" like setting. It's just how it is and has no bearing on how individuals think it should be or any bearing on the attraction itself.

 

[Mike730]

And now we must cater to the OCD's of the world too? Other then a strange need to have everything in a row, please give me one logical reason why it matters. Just one... that's all I ask. (Logical doesn't mean I don't like it, it bothers me)

Just FYI, if you just keep scrolling down the page then you can ignore posts you don't like or identify with. People are curious about different things. Deal with it and move on.

Gosh, why didn't I think of that. Here I thought we were part of a discussion board. Silly me!

I do not know why you didn't think of that. Have a nice week.

It's like naming your children in the order they are born: Arron, Brian, Charlie you wouldn't swap B and C's to keep them in order of height would you?

I don't care if they call them Mickey, Pluto and Figment, just get me on the ride

Are you 100% sure about the IMAX thing? Or are you basing that off what you had read elsewhere. I can totally understand why a lot of people would assume that IMAX Laser is used (e.g. the fact that IMAX Film was used previously, and the fact that Disney has said that the new projectors are digital and use lasers), but at least in DCA, I know for a fact that the projectors are from Christie. According to @Alektronic the projectors in Epcot are also Christie, which would make sense since Disney would probably want to be consistent in quality across coasts if possible.

Can you say how many projectors there are?

Can you say how many projectors there are?

Unfortunately I don't know Sorry about that
