That is crazy I never realized how much of soaring you could see, I have never seen that sight line, to work as hard as they say they did to blend TT they did very little here, but like I said I have never seen it

You've never noticed it likely because they painted it sky blue and it just blends in if you aren't looking for it, or don't know it is where it is.

To comments about demand for a fourth theater etc. Soarn has a huge demand but even if you had unlimited capacity you would only want to ride it so many times per day. Unlike some other attractions it is the same thing over and over so even if you could ride it three or four times would you?

Obviously adding variety would change that... But a healthy line is a good thing for Disney. Just not too much of a line that it es people off.

Hm, as far as I can see, many other popular attractions are the same thing over and over, and people have been known to spend all day going on them repeatedly: ToT, RnR, The mountains: BTMRR, Splash, Space, Everest, 7 Dwarves... why not Soarin'?

Some offer variety.. some offer such great depth that re-rides let you see more and more each time that you didn't see... some are more phyiscal experiences so you re-ride to get the same physical 'payout' again.. Soarin' has a physical element but on its own its nothing.. its the combination of sound, sight, and your physical setting that make it 'work'.

I'm not trying to say 'why would you re-ride soarin' - I'm saying you wouldn't keep doing it over and over and over. The net result, the quicker you can cycle through the ride, the quicker you have expended the ride's 'value' for you in the park.. and quickly turn to other things. Do that enough, and you have the situation where people go "I finish everything I want to do in a half day..." and people don't stay in the parks and moan about wanting more added.

The operator doesn't want you to 'finish' all their attractions in an hour or two... they want you to spend the day at the park and feel you had stuff to do all day. Hence, why I said Disney wants a line, just not such a big line it es people off. So don't try to keep adding capacity till wait times hit zero... its a waste and detriment.

Well, there is an element that it has along with the rest of the more popular attractions and that is that it is fun and calmly exhilarating. More physical experiences may be important to you, but, not to everyone. If they like it they want to do it again. It's a simple and successful formula.

Soarin is very visible from almost everywhere, but, as I suspected and posted back in 2004, it ended up blending with the sky just enough so it doesn't jump out at you. Just like I can spend all day in Epcot and not see the Swan or Dolphin even though they are in plain sight. They are not my focal point and therefore even if I see them my brain doesn't register anything other then I am in WDW and there are lots of things there that might come into my line of sight.

Yes, It's like saying why go to Disney month after month for years. To a Disney fan is like eating.

Ugh!! you mean I have to eat again :eek: I just ate like 3 hours ago.

Some people love eating the same food over and over again too :hilarious:

Because we all need more pictures of a crane:

From the bridge/sidewalk from the parking lot to the Beach Club Resort

I have wondered if any of the rooms there are tall enough to offer a view of the construction. I suppose the interstitial trees are too high or there would be bloggers regularly posting pictures...

My pictures lack a sense of scale for the crane. It looks really close to the back of Beach Club, but is in fact pretty far beyond. It is a larger crane than it looks.
