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

[tanc]

I get around the world fits epcot better but I really do miss the original, and I'm super excited to be there in October to see it!

Personally, I think attractions like Soarin' are a bit overdone these days... Just about every tourist destination has a skyfly attraction now... Even Pigeon Forge Tennessee managed to make a very cohesive themed attraction.

Time to move on from this and put something new here... By all means, it's time for Disney to figure out the next brand new huge simulator attraction.

Yeah, now that we know how peppers ghost works, we should shut down Haunted Mansion…it’s a tired, worn out effect. If its overdone, it’s because everyone else is doing it, don’t close one of the originals…you’re certainly entitled to your opinion, but come on…

Maybe they’ll take this time to fix the ending since Epcot looks nothing like on the film now

Or the bent Eiffel Tower.

Or the bent Eiffel Tower.

I can never tell if people are joking when they say this, but the Eiffel Tower cannot be unbent. Anything projected on that screen is doing to look distorted, though some things look more so than others. The only solution is for the film to be remade without tall, vertical structures, or for you to politely ask to sit in one of the central gliders.

I feel it is very likely that this is precisely why they are doing this change in film. And when World comes back the Epcot ending will be new Epcot.

I totally disagree. Soarin is such a peaceful experience that all age groups minus toddlers can enjoy.

They could keep it at a distance so that it takes up only half the screen, reducing its bendiness. And looking more straight down on it.

Indeed. The way around the problem is not to film a vertical structure that takes up the entirety of the screen.

Disney needs a list of circular and amorphous iconic landmarks, stat!

But did they bring back the orange grove smell back??

This may have been addressed already but I don't want to sift through 131 comments.

We don't know yet, will find out when it opens on Sep 22

I would think it’s safe to assume the whole experience is returning

 

[ToTBellHop]

I wonder how long it will “temporarily” return. At WDW, given how people vacation, “temporary” things should last at least 12 months.

Hopefully as long as Iger is temporary…

Haunted Mansion is not just a peppers ghost effect. It is much more than that.

Soarin is a jiggly seat in front of a screen. Time for the next new technology.

Who says the next big thing in simulation technology couldn't be the same? No reason to not stay the best.

That’s fine, ADD it, don’t CLOSE it…
Soarin’ doesn’t have to close,
Peoplemover doesn’t have to close
CoP doesn’t have to close…
Get the picture?

Probably logistically a challenge. Unless it’s random and you don’t know what you are getting until the ride starts. Otherwise you need two different lines… that guests can choose which one they want.

How about random scenes at each cut.. Orange Groves, CGI Taj, Fighter Jets.. ! Soarin': The Adventure Continues!

Exactly…just like Mission:Space…you choose…with the differences in the scents, I don’t know that the individual theaters will be able to switch…that could be a logistical nightmare
