Actually, if you think about it, the average WDW day guest wouldn't even be able to tell that it's the same movie, or even if the snippets are all taken from California. If you see the movie for the first time in Florida, there's no way that you can say "hey, these pictures are all from California!" because most of them really could be anywhere. So by just simply using the title of "Soarin" instead of "Soarin Over California," anyone who isn't a hardcore Disney fan or has not seen the DCA version would probably think that it actually WAS "Soarin Over America" or something similar. So that's probably why they won't make a new "Soarin" movie for the Land for another few years.

Hey, 100th post! :sohappy:

I agree most guests wouldn't be able to tell. I still think, though, that it should be switched (Soarin' over The Land, IMHO) to showcase different terrains so that it fits a bit more with the Epcot theme. I certainly think the Cali film (note from what I have heard only) is very well done, but having it apply a bit more to the themes of the wonders of ALL the lands would be a bit more appropriate to Epcot. Having said that, I think much of the California film could be re-editted with other films so only a "half film" would really be needed to create an entirely new experience.

And BTW- Here's to hoping Managemenr realized the mistakes and that The Land keeps its grandeur and great spaces, unlike IMAG did during its last rehab (RIP Pyramids & JII )

It's almost like we have two conversations going on at once here.

For now, yes, it will be the DCA version. However, in a few years, they're going to change it. I think the DCA version is appropriate, both financially, and with their 50th anniversary celebration coming up. As long as all of you repeatedly saying "It should be a Soarin' over the Land" mean when they make a new film later, then yes, I agree.

If, however, you're saying that to get the film changed now, then why bother? We've heard you (many times), and it's already set to be the DCA version. No worries.

I look forward to Soarin'--I think it'll be a tremendous attraction. I hope the Land rehab goes all right; I'm pretty optimistic.

Anyone know if they'll change the Canada pavilion's mountains to hide the show building for Soarin'? From across WS over Canada is the only place it's really making a visual difference. Other than that, they did a good job hiding everything from normal view.

If you're gonna give Soarin' a new ride film why confine yourselfs with just soaring over America when you can "Soar" all over the world?

The California ride film is just temporary untill '07

California shouldn't change its ride film, it fits in just right the way it is.

At this point, nobody is authorized...sorry.
However, it is pretty much identical to the DCA Soarin (not the queue) so those photos should give you the idea.

My biggest question is: why don't they have money to produce a new film?
Disney isn't hurting. The sale of turkey legs alone(sarcasm) could pay for that film. It's great that they want to fill the gap by sending a nod to DL. But realistically, this film could have been made when the idea was still on the drawing board. I completely agree that monies should be spent in many avenues to boost consumerism, but I also know the costs of making films and I still can't grasp why this could not be done at this time.

What a lot of Tosh all this gift concept is. Its just a slight of hand by Disney mismanagement at plonking a load of replica attractions in their other parks there by saving development costs etc.

I really don’t want Paris to be the same as WDW or Disneyland, OK you’ll still have that appalling French attitude and weather, but please originality must be kept someway.

I agree...I've never thought this whole gift thing made any sense--I'm all for bringing Soarin' over to WDW, but if any park were going to receive "gifts" from the other Resorts, it should be Disneyland...I would be pretty ticked if instead of getting presents for my birthday, I instead sent two gifts to my younger sibling while my two other siblings send gifts inexplicably to that sibling, too. Sounds like WDW is the spoiled brat of the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts family.

Soarin' Over the World would be good, too, and in keeping with the international flavor of Epcot. One drawback is that there are so many beautiful and/or well-known sights in so many countries, it would be hard to do "the world" justice. No doubt Disney could do a good job with it, but I'd hate to be the one to decide what gets put in and what gets left out!

 

[Prof Ecks]

The ultimate goal for the presentation of Soarin must be Soarin over the Land or World. Anything less than that is an insult to the vision of World Showcase and WD's vision of Epcot. Soarin over the World would be a solid addition to the goals and vision of World Showcase...Soarin over California should go in a park devoted to.....well....California....or maybe...hmmmm...State Showcase.

Sorry to tell you buddy, but EPCOT in its current state is the biggest insult in history, in relation to Walt's actual vision of EPCOT. Walt's vision was for an actual city, a community, not a theme park. So from here on out no one is allowed to use the "Walt" card when speaking of this attraction as it pertains to EPCOT.

But I agree with what everyone is saying, dumping a duplicate of a DCA attraction into WDW, is lazy and cheap. Just like how the put a ToT in DL and now they are working on putting one in Tokyo. Its a cop out, an excuse not to pay imagineers and other creative talent any more than they have to. They pay them for the initial idea and then they can recycle that idea till its dead. So in their mind they are getting 2-3 rides for the price of one. If WDW has the exact same attractions as DL and DCA, what would be my motivation to go to DL? I wouldn't want to go, cause by all accounts its the exact same park due to the duplication of rides. I think if they are going to duplicate rides then they should give the ride a different theme based on where its located. Like Space Mountain for example. In each park it is themed differently to reflect aspects of the location its in (i.e. the Joules Vern theme in DLP)

 

[ToTBellHop]

My take on it is that the purpose will never be to present the entire world with Soarin'. The point in changing it from Soarin' Over ________ (blank) to just Soarin' was probably so that the videos could change over time to showcase different areas, thus creating a ride that will not need to be removed in 10 or 20 years, since they can change it moderately cheaply (I know the movies aren't cheap, but they are less than building an entirely new attraction). I know it's sad that I compare it to reality tv, but it's kinda like different installments of the Amazing Race...if your country (or continent) got glanced over this season, odds are it'll be visited next time.

Disney isn't hurting.

Logisticaly speaking, why should they make a new film when they can capitalized on the video they already have. Why not use that video for two or three years then make a new film that can be use for both soarin in DCA and EPCOT. Why spend money if you don't have to at the moment. By playing it as a gift from DCA, Disney is getting the most out of the attraction by recycling the video that is already made. It has nothing to do with money shortage and everything to do with being money smart.
