News Soarin' Over California returning to EPCOT for a limited time

[ToTBellHop]

I didn't have Disney revitalizing Back to the Future on my bingo card for 2024...

Park ticket prices must rise in 2025 to pay for the 1.21 jiga(sic)watts required!

Why is that? To prevent the film from being dated too soon?

You must be kidding.

It's amazing how much you could update a movie by inserting a few contemporary scenes. You can keep your Rocky Mountain flyover shot for thirty years. And then send a crew with nine iPhones on a drum to shoot ten seconds of purple-haired Montréal youth to update the film.

I'm thinking of several scenes in Impressions de France that could be updated while keeping the integrity of the film and score. If it's just landscape and architecture (mostly - Notre Dame will be an ongoing project for a while due to the fire), those scenes can remain. But they could swap out the dated 1980s wedding, bike, and speedo French Riviera scenes, for example, for more modern scenes.

Was anyone really expecting the finale to be over an unfinished construction site?

It's the only way to know how to get past the wall maze!!

Seriously they need to have the map in MDE update with the blocked paths shown. Today I got stuck trying to go from the Land to WS and had to backtrack a few hundred feet.

For those wondering, the end of the ride is still over Future World.

And we’re to believe they’re just itching to start spending that $60bn

You aren't wrong.

Please understand that the search party needed a break to sleep but we will be back out this morning looking for you, that we will never forget you, and that no one will remarry for at least 3 months.

the hardest part is that they seem to change stuff around overnight. When the festival started, one could walk around and past where the Toy Story display is, by day two, it became a dead end.

Lobster tails where in Odessey on day one, by day two they moved to a booth in an area that was behind walls the day before.

I will still cling to a thread of hope! Thank you for all of your efforts.

The China film was supposed to happen, along with upgrading the theater to be a "seamless" 360 experience...but that was announced in like 2018 or something, before COVID, before the major issues in Hong Kong, etc....basically I don't think we're going to see it happen for a long time.

My understanding was that this was already filmed and cut for release but just has not been. Am I completely wrong on this?

We were in a similar situation yesterday. Thankfully, the experienced sherpas were able to rescue us from that area before we were overcome by the elements. It was a terrifying situation. In fact, we were able to find a similar situation captured on GIF:

My eyes got wet at the start of the original Soarin' last week. When did they install onion-scent misters in your seats?

It was wonderful to experience SoC again, which is something I didn't believe I'd be able to do ever again. Worth every minute in that queue.
