Haha, I did notice the "Soarin'" vs. "Soarin' Over California" but that's because when I went out there, I was looking for it.
And I am a WDW verteran. Heck, I've been more than most of you (and considering how many times some of you have been...) But I look for Hidden Mickeys. I even have the books.
I really try not to fixate too much. I'd rather just enjoy the ride. There are things I fixate on, but not in Soarin'.

I had to ask... How do you know you've been more than some people here?

For one, I've been 42 times averaging at about 10 days per trip, record being 19 days. I snoop profiles to see how many times people have been. I've met a few people on here who've been more than me, but they're few and far between. Granted, some members don't let me view their profiles or don't post numbers of trips...but still

Next question... Why does the number of times one's been matter?

It really doesn't; the article said that veterans don't search for Hidden Mickeys, and I wanted to cite that I am a veteran (beyond veteran) and still like Hidden Mickeys. I think they are cool.
And even having been that many times, I still love it when I find a new one. It especially doesn't matter considering that I probably don't remember most details about the first 10. It's just interesting to know how many times people have been IMO.

Really? I did not know that.
EDIT: That actually aggravates me a little. Could they be bothered to get some newer, decent footage?

I know why they can't be bothered for Epcot. Ready for some TDO logic?
"There's a 2-3 hour wait for that ride all the time. Fastpasses are out within a couple hours. Why would we need to spend money on new footage?"

It doesn't even make sense with the theming. They can't be bothered to shoot some Florida scenery? Or east coast?
IMO it's slowly becoming a less popular ride. I go in August and can usually get Fastpasses later in the day. In January I can definitely get them. But then again, who knows, they may be planning to reshoot or at least fix the film and we just don't know anything about it.
But from 1999? Couldn't they have shot footage for the original too? DCA didn't open until 2001.
Soarin' is apparently open again but now California Screamin' is closed. Isn't it amazing that a bankrupt state is suddenly finding all these violations on attractions that have operated fine for years?

If this is still going on in June, I'm going to be really ed.

No. A man was seriously hurt while working. DOSH is there for a reason.
California doesn't need to rely on DOSH fining Disneyland to get out of its hole.
As I understand it, the man that was injured was an unlicensed contracter that shouldn't have even been performing the job he was doing, and he got injured because he was standing on a step on a ladder marked 'This is not a step'.
So in this case, does the Darwin Award go to Disney for turning a blind eye to the man's lack of credentials or to the man for performing a job he knew he couldn't do legally and getting hurt because of it?

Oh, but that's always the step that you need!
