Soarin' Over the World

As you may have heard. This idea had been thrown around the rumor mill and hasn't seen to much light from Imagineering. Weather this ever was to come to be or not in my last trip to WDW I was able to come up with a ride that may make Soarin' even more popular than it is now.

Entrance:
Same look Soarin' sign and all stays.

Queue: As you walk through Concourse 82, you notice many different flight gates. The gates have different destinations from around the world. Also the line will include art deco style posters, advertising the many different destinations around the world. The interactive games are re-themed to make the area feel more like an airport. Over the PA system is airport announcements like flight delays, cancellations, safety announcements similiar to the ones that you would hear in an actual airport. The idea is to simulate an active airport concourse.

The Loading area:
This area remains close to the same. But also adds a little new themeing that is similar to the new Queue area. The blue lights stay. The video remains the same. The ramp that leads to the preshow area is changed to resemble a Jetway that leads to the airplane.

The Ride:
With the new technology that is now used in Star Tours 2 which allows for random destinations will be used. The entire show is changed. Before boarding your destinations will be pre-selected by the computer. While in flight you may experience France, Mexico, Italy and America. And the next ride may include, Germany, Spain, china, Australia. At the end of the show, you can continue the same idea of ending at a Disney resort. With having many different Disney resorts around the world (Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris etc.) the ride can end the same way with flying over a different Magic Kingdom.

In the end it is very similar to Star Tours 2 but expands on real life destinations.

Let me know what you think and any ideas or suggestions you may have.

Thanks Everyone

I am really looking forward to seeing a new version of Soarin', however if it is changed to an "International Flight" it needs a new loading instruction video.
The transition between the clips have to be fixed, the first time I rode Soarin', the sudden transitions scared the heck out of me.
The ride's name can be changed to Soarin': Over the Land. :D
