Sorry if this has been mentioned or asked before, but will they just run California only or will it be alongside World? We will be there on Sunday the 24th, wondering if we can do one or both...?

Looks like this video was shot right of centre. It bends the same,as do all the other scenes. It would do, it's the same curved screen.

It’ll be Cali in all 3 “theaters”

I don't understand. That idea of hang gliding was as original as Disney gets. It was fun just for itself, who gives a damn if he picture appears bendy once in awhile, it's still a fun ride. If it's that important asking for the middle seats is all that is necessary. They complained about the lack of transition from one scene to another in the original and now they are complaining about not liking the transition in the new one. Having it end with the fireworks in Epcot is very fitting.

That’s the point…you shouldn’t HAVE to request a certain seat in order to have a “plussed” show and experience at WDW. It’s not the same as choosing the front or rear seat on a roller coaster.
When I said that no one complained about the Cali version until the world version opened wasn’t aimed at you, it was just a general comment.
Maybe you don’t give a damn if some scenes are “bendy”, but I do because IMHO, it’s a poor, bush league show.

As much as we would all like to fall back on Disney Magic, the place exists in the real world and as such is subject to the same law of physics as anything else. You want the big curve screen then you have to put up with the entrails of physics and how much light bends. You can have a flat screen with no distortion at all or a curved screen with a certain degree of distortion. Whatever the case I would like to think that I am mature enough and educated enough to know some of the things that happen with projected light. Perhaps the tower was not something that should have been shot from that angle and it was assumed that the picture would be in the middle of the screen and have less bend, but that depends on the angle one looks at it as well as what angle the screen is. Maybe that is why they have brought the Cali one back while they make a few adjustments to the world one. We shall see.

I know easier than done but a Star Tours ranzomizer would be great. I know easier than done they could run 5 or 6 shows.

Love that they are actually calling it Soarin' over California this time around! sign changed?
It is back - the orange scent is also pretty strong in the queue down to the holding area.

Does anyone have a clue as to how long the "limited" time will be? I really want to ride the original but I don't think I can get up to WDW for several weeks.
I'm guessing until the End of 2023 at least since there's a Disney100 Logo now on Soarin's Sign.
Also, the BEST finale in Soarin's History is back!!!!!! I'm Sorry but what's better than Soaring over A Christmas Fantasy Parade and Believe In Holiday Magic?!?!?!?

Is there any tech upgrades for this? I'm assuming it's digital projection now or did they fire up the film projectors again?

Definitely nothing wrong with them showing Christmas time at Disneyland but I think it Might have been better for them to have shown Main Street Electrical Parade. But the parade wasn’t running at least at Disneyland park when they filmed Soarin Over California.
