Fun fact. The “gal” circled in green in the poster below was actually designed as a man and changed later.

Between Soarin and the cinema shop, it’s nice Disney does listen to the fans sometimes.

Have they announced the end date for it?

I love this poster because it has people riding in suits like the old people mover poster. It made sense for the people mover poster as people actually dressed up to go the park back then. The only time Soarin has probably ever seen a suit is on Dapper Day.

The guy on the poster is saying "Look! I can see my office window!"

I think it's more due to greater demand and overwhelming positive feedback for the original version.

Demolishing Country Bears to build the park's worst C-ticket dark ride. Fantasmic crowd control disasters. Cutting back on maintenance to the point where people die. Letting the Rocket Rods tracks rot in public. Not spending the money to make Rocket Rods right in the first place. Videopolis. Light Magic. Spending a ton of money to combine 2 Autopias into 1 monstrous Autopia that isn't as much fun as either of the originals. The new bobsleds. No shade in Toontown. Turning the Penny Arcade into a shop. The bad use of the Carousel Theater. Going from 4 animatronic stage shows to 2. Haunted Mansion Holiday for 1/3 of the year. Space Mtn. overlays. Using the Lincoln theater to promo movies. Using Muppetvision to promo movies. Using the Magic Eye theater to promo movies. Overpricing everything. Firing live entertainment. I feel like I'm on 100,000 Dollar Pyramid.

Yeah, surprised that's not just the announcement already.

Someone in TDA must really love the World iteration.
