Soarin

[Kenan]

Kinda odd to see Soarin' roped off up to the marquee area today. Usually if its down, people can still shop, or go to the bathroom or sit down near the fastpass machines. It was all closed off. Even more odd, my friend who visited DCA today said their Soarin' was also shut and doors closed and everything. Anyone know more? I wonder if they found a defect.

I heard it will be closed "indefinitely" not sure what the issue is or just how long "indefinitely" means.

Out of nowhere, they closed both Soarin's, possibly "indefinitely" and nobody on here knows about it or brought it up except for the 2 posts in this thread?

Yeah kind of surprising. I heard it around 4PM figured it would be mentioned all over the place by the time I got on here.

my bad. guest relations

Guest Relations. To do something this drastic, it's imperative that they station GR or other CMs to offer explanations....not just rope off half the building.

Indeed

We tried to ride this afternoon and the only thing CMs would say is that it was down due to technical difficulties :shrug: the Land was nice and calm however!

Oh man no TT or Soarin!!!

What? How could it be closed indefinitely with no warning and no explanation? I find that entirely too far-fetched to believe, especially considering Epcot is down a major e-ticket already.

If this is actually true (and I'm inclined to disbelieve it until photos and more confirmations are posted) and they're switching the video to a "world" theme, Disney would've made a huge deal out of it. Soar'n IS ALL NEW! COME SAIL OVER THE WORLD NOW! That sort of thing.

If anything, if true, they likely realized just how bad the current film conditions are and finally decided to give them a good dusting and cleaning. Or it's just completely 101!
