Soarin' Poll

[Figment2005]

Just want to see the general consensus on this site regarding the matter.

I don't wait for Soarin' as it is, so I guess there's no room for me to be "less likely" to do so.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Since I don't like new TT, I use my Tier 1 FP for Soarin', so I never do wait.

When I'm in DCA, I don't do Soarin'. There's much more to do there, TofT, RSR (the superior TT), California Screamin', etc.

Interesting, in a park with more headliners, TSM, midday in June, was 40 minutes, and Soarin' was about 30 (although TofT was 50 and RSR...don't ask). Hmmm...why do we think this is?

I feel like I am missing somethig when it comes to Soarin. I rode it the first time and thought "gee this is cool." I was not blown away or think that this is a must do everytime. Yet the rest of my family loves it. I just do not get it.

I think there would still be plenty of time to do everything. I never really "wait" for Soarin' because it's always a ride I use Fast Pass. You can't reasonably wait for it during crowded times, because it wastes too much time. I either ride in the early morning or use Fast Pass.

I wish I could ride more, but its loading process is somewhat slow and it is quite popular.

EPCOT does need 3 more E-Ticket attractions...yes, 3. Something can go in Wonders of Life Pavilion, they need to replace the old Odyssey Restaurant area with something, and they can do something else with the Captain Eo space. They also need to refurb Mission space (same concept, new movie, different effects) and spruce up the World Showcase movies.

Then, they need to add about 3 exhibits/D ticket rides within innoventions, Imagination Pavilion, and scrap some of the gift shop space for something meaningful.

EPCOT has tons of space and could really use some more attractions to spread crowds within its own park and more particularly, draw people away from the Magic Kingdom.

I voted Yes because I am really not willing to wait, even in the FP line, for Soarin.

And Epcot needs to basically hit every single pavilion with updates. Every one, including TT2.0

This is usually in the fall when I go...I rope drop it since I do single rider TT later. I'm usually the first 20 people on Soarin' and then I just set a fastpass for 930-1030, ride on The Land once or twice after the first standby Soarin', and then fastpass Soarin'.
If I'm not walking all the way up to the right hand turn where they put you in either concourse, I'm not going on it, but I just strategize it so i can go on twice quickly.

I know it's just watching scenes on a screen, but I only get to come to WDW once every 4 years or so. The ambience of the chairs lifting you up, combined with the music (which is my favorite in all the World), and the general good feeling I get from the ride, I'll ride it as long as it's there. If you go every year, I can see getting tired of it. But it's a feel-good attraction for me. I guess I don't get to experience it enough for it to get old.

 

[Figment2005]

Thank you for all your replies so far.

 

[KLinder7]

I never wait as well. I have a smile on my face the whole time during the attraction but no thanks to a 60+ wait. That really goes for anything though. Has to be a first thing as the park opens or fastpass it.

 

[kap91]

If there were MANY, MANY extra headliners then yes...but it would still be crowded and have hour + waits. Just not as long as they can get now.

 

[CP_alum08]

I don't wait now. Don't like the ride at all really. But epcot does need another big attraction, which may or may not be Frozen when that comes.

 

[PeterMarcus]

For what it's worth, I'm a local and Soarin' wait times are so long, I only do it once or twice a year, as opposed to, say, Space, which I do almost every visit if it's under 15 minutes. If there were more headliners making Soarin' under 30 minutes, it's likely I'd ride it more often.

We love it! We go every year for 2+ weeks, and riding it many times via either FP+ or extra magic hours.

 

[JIMINYCR]

I'll wait unless the lines are outlandishly long. I'd rather bypass an attraction and hit it up later in the day when crowds lighten up. ( or come back on another day) No rides worth standing in front of and behind guests that get more obnoxious as the wait increases. Especially lines that hold unruly kids whose parents exercise no control over them.

 

[Dwarful]

We always use a FP for Soarin and go straight to TT. Then the kids do the single rider line again for TT. I wouldn't wait 60 minutes for any ride anywhere.

 

[halltd]

Yeah, where's the "No, because I never wait for Soarin' as it is" option? Sign me up for that category. Unless they change the look of the queue or the speed of the people moving in said queue, there's no way I'll ever wait in that line. FP+ or we don't ride.

 

[Brer Panther]

Hopefully, the Frozen ride will mean shorter lines for Soarin' and Test Track. Come on, we ALL know it's going to have super-long lines.

 

[mouse_luv]

I don't wait for Soarin' now lol. The only "thrill" ride I really like in EPCOT and will wait for is TT.

 

[SyracuseDisneyFan]

Yes
