Soarin' to open with new preshow in May

[ToTBellHop]

This comes from Screamscape, but it's a particularly reliable rumor. Patrick Warburton (the same Patrick who does the preshow at California Adventure--voiced Kronk in the Emperor's New Groove and in the upcoming Emperor's New Groove II) was recently seen at Epcot taping a new preshow for this attraction, so there will at least be SOME difference b/t this new version and the original.

Happy New Year

Beautiful.

Thanks for the news.

 

[Main Street USA]

Sounds grand. Thanks for the info.

 

[imagineer boy]

Well, at least there's something original for this attraction.

 

[BeachClubVillas]

Sounds good to me.

Sounds great, at least it isn't a complete 100% clone then... wait a minute... Emporer's New Groove II? :brick::brick:

 

[General Grizz]

(I know. . . :brick: )

Is there any chance of a soft opening in April?

I love it! Come May, you guys will be the ones complaining that you have to stand through a preshow before riding it, and you're praising it right now. Wonderful!

What's this about Emperor's New Groove II?

Not surprising.
The pre-show at DCA is barely more than a safety spiel, so it's probably not a really big deal. Unless they are adding a REAL pre-show...that would be nice.

Great info! Thanks!

Complaining about preshows? Couldn't be further from the truth. We are the ones who complain about PhilharMagic NOT having a preshow...preshows rock. You are going to have to wait an hour to ride Soarin' regardless; preshows make the time go faster.

Thank god Pat is doing it, I loved his work on the DCA version.

Hooray for tailoring!

This is great news. And who knows, maybe after a few years they will update the actual ride film.

BTW, I can't wait for the The Emperor's Newer Groove (I hope it has the same humor as the first did).
