It's interesting to see it look this way since 2004...It's like Food Rocks just closed....

Question: do we know if the new film with debut when the ride re-opens? Also, since DCA's Soarin' already had the digital conversion, when is the new film expected to start there?

At DCA Soarin is currently closed Monday thru Thursday until further notice to test the new film. It is open Friday thru Sunday and showing the original film. There is no end date to it being closed during the week and no date has been announced as to when it debuts.

Huh, that's odd. So, just weekend openings for the ride for the immediate future?

So I keep reading Summer of 2016.... Does anyone know if either Soarin or Frozen will be completed by June 11?

Since summer is from June 20th through Sept. 5th, it is highly doubtful that it will be open by the 11th. But you never know.

Weird that DCA can't keep one theater running with the original movie while the other one gets in sync for the new movie. If they were smart, it would be a simple program to flip between the two movie/motion files.

Not this year, it ended on 1/3 and will start back up on 1/8

It's probably been asked and answered, but with such a long downtime, can we say there'll be a re theme, in particular for the extraordinarily dull que?

There was a theory that no US park can show the new film until after it premieres at Shanghai. But given how long it's taking them to open Shanghai that could all change.

Queue is supposed to get an overhaul. Those screens with the games will be gone, plus many other changes.

I would say late July early August. (Thats a guess) Since they have many major projects to do. (Paint, Projectors, Incorporate 3rd theater, Maybe redesign entrance and its show elements (Hopefully), etc)

I never knew those screens existed until recently...because I have only ever done this attraction with FP. No idea what they look like, haha

I was only in the FP a Queue 10 minutes and I still thought it was a dull queue...I imagine it's pure mind numbing waiting in the kind of queues this ride attracts. Poor show.

Where would the third theatre go? Aren't there backstage buildings right behind The Land Pavilion?

Wonder if they are putting it where the old Kitchen Kaberet stage was?

its going right behind the exisiting Soarin' theatres, as show in the aerial shot on this post http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/soarin-expansion.892968/page-47#post-6858219

 

[OvertheHorizon]

Maybe I dreamed this, but I recall reading that when the new Soarin' movie opens a different ending has been filmed for each park. Can anybone confirm that is the case?

There's a new set of bathrooms going there. The new theatre is going behind the current two.

Yes. People saw them filming in both Disneyland and World.
