My reference to the post directly previous to my own (that you quoted) seems to have went right over your head.

Speaking of this project I recently saw on Screamscape that the name being used is Soarin' Over the Horizon. Is this going to be the new name for the attraction? Just curious because I really like that name lol.

That name has been tossed around here as a rumor. That, and I've also heard "Soarin' Over The World"

get rid of the speedway car ride and make a Frozen castle meet and greet with a dark ride

So, no mention of a new film. Yet, anyway.

Yay for more capacity.
Boo for not being original about it.

Eh, I don't really care about it not being original, as I think it needs the capacity boost. What does irk me is the nearly 2 years before it will be open. Late 2016 likely means in time for Christmas crowds, so no sooner than November 2016. They could easily have this thing up in a year (likely the end of this year) if they cared to.

Interesting approach to improve capacity at Epcot (and DHS with TSMM addition). These additions won't do anything to improve attendance, but should improve the guest experience. Soarin' addition actually makes sense as it loads so slowly, but a new ride would have also taken some demand off these attractions. Hopefully there is more to come that is actually new. Glad though to see updates to the projections and screens.

I'm not going to complain. I'm glad they are doing something about it, but it isn't like we didn't know it was coming.

But the new Frozen ride will be opening that year, too. While it may not appeal to everyone there is no question that it will draw more people to Epcot than Maelstrom ever did. Then we can wait another 11 years for a mediocre attraction based on an oddly popular billion-dollar movie
As for DHS...hopefully they announce an expansion sometime soon

Obviously the trend we are seeing is the refurb refresh rebuild of all Disney attractions and that is agood thing.
Tons of money still to be spent here. Bravo Disney. The only criticism I have is the destruction of the Main Street bakery with a Starbucks.

I agree. No reason it needs to take that long when duplicating an existing attraction. Particularly with TSMM where the building shell is already there. These should be ready in early 2016, not late 2016. Oh well. Still hoping for TSMM addition that it is part of a larger expansion to Pixar place.almost two years

Two years because they will probably close down one of the two older theaters once the third is up so they can replace the screen and projector
