Soarin' Over The World?!?!

[k_peek_2000]

I just read on Miceage that a new ride called Soarin' Over The World got the greenlight to be placed at WDS!!!!! Out of all parks. I would expect say maybe DLRP not WDS!

[fantasmic_boy122]

Sounds pretty cool.. but dunno if itz true

[disneycast101]

WDS? Soarin Over The World? Wow!

[k_peek_2000]

theres a report about it on www.miceage.com on the tale of two studios.

[ElecTronic]

Its NOT happening at Epcot b/c if you read the Imagineering Guide they say that they're keeping the California film b/c it shows that it is a gift from DCA

[k_peek_2000]

Did you read? Its suposed to be at Walt Disney Studios in France. Not epcot...

believe me, WDS needs it. Did you know there's only nine attractions there? Nine. When i was at the Disneyland Resort Paris earlier this summer, it was crazy to watch because it was like a stampede to get to the gates of Disneyland Park and and then you'd look to your left and there'd be maybe two or three people headed toward WDS. WDS is such a tiny park and it needs a lot of help - but the author of the miceage article is right - with a little/lot of tlc, WDS has the potential to become a great park. and though soarin' over the world may not fit into the theme per se... i think it's allowable to ignore that fact simply because WDS needs good quality attractions *so* badly. i cant wait to see WDS grow and prosper.

WDS has been ungoing huge placemaking. They have 2 e-ticket attractions under construction right now and are adding to the studio tour and are adding a few new lands. Plus Soarin' Over The World doesnt even have anything to do with the movies.

I read i was just saying it before ppl started asking if it'll happen to Epcot

[PeoplemoverMatt]

The whole article reads as a sort of "what could happen if..." but he did mention something about the film being in the can, so who knows. It'd be nice to see a different Soarin' film, just as long as they keep Jerry Goldsmith's wonderful anthem intact. Tokyo's Indy ride chopped up John Williams' themes so badly my ears were crying.

Hehe....I noticed that when I rode Indy too. It was SO LOUD in some parts that it felt like my ears were about to burst. As for the musical score, I far prefer Disneyland's Indy. As for best musical score, I choose Journey to the Center of the Earth, especially the first part near the Crystal Caverns.

Actully their NOT keeping the DCA Sorin' film. Their creating it now. Why would somebody want to sore over California in Florida? It makes no sense.

I also read that in the OFFICIAL Free Disney Travel Guide.

[disneyfreak59]

yeah i heard it was going into epcot for their anniversary

[linklewtt]

that's strange. soarin over the world or california or anything for that matter has nothing to do with movies.

[ElecTronic]

Im just wondering what does Soarin over stuff have anything to do with movies and what does it have to do with the future(or The Land).

[k_peek_2000]

Soarin' Went to epcot for OUR anniversary. They are building Soarin Over The World in wds because they need more rides.

cuz you're soarin over the land. it has nothing to do with movies or the future.

they're creating what now? a new soarin' over florida film?

[CarouselOfProgress]

If they are doing a new film in Florida, what is there to soar over there? In California we have mountains, valleys, deserts, farms, oceans, bays, forests, grasslands, theme parks, cities, everything possible to soar over. In Florida? Swamps, oranges, cities,space ships, swamps, beaches, swamps, parks, swamps, beaches, swamps, cities, and did I mention swamps?

[PeoplemoverMatt]

I doubt the Florida film would be Florida only, pretty much for that very reason. I would expect it to be a hodgepodge of sights starting w/ the Mississippi River & east to the eastern seaboard. Points of interest that that crowd would be familiar with just as we're familiar with the sights we see in our Soarin' Over California.

I actually have no idea what I am flying over haha. i just know the names.

[jagfkb]

i knew about having a new movie replacing the one in WDW, but not this, sounds interesting...

[CarouselOfProgress]

^ If you read it it doesn't really say anything about replacing WDW. Only a brand new one at WDS in Paris that is just in development.

EPCOTS probably will be changed eventually. I love ours though.

[PeoplemoverMatt]

Epcot's should be changed, I mean, the joke about everyone in FL not getting that everything they're seeing is from CA gets old after a while.

-- PMM :cool:

[disneyfreak59]

look. i'm reading this straight from the book called unofficial guide to walt disney world.

"A peek behind the scenes with jim hill: Though this new Future World attraction won't begin entertaining WDW guests until 2005, plans are reportadly already underway to scrap soarin's IMAX film, originally created for Disney's California Adventure theme park. The replacement version, which is supposedly slated to debut in the fall of 2007 for Epcots 25th anniversary, will reportadly feature scenery from all over the world."

i'm not stating this as fact, because it is kinda a rumor, but it midaswell happen here. but just because they change it here, it doesnt mean they wont add one in WDS. They probably will.

gee thanks for pointing that out. Florida is actually much, much more than that. :icon_redf

I agree with you.

[sora_145]

I read the exact same thing, although I read it from the Official DisneyWorld Travel Guide.

[CarouselOfProgress]

Soarin' over the World would be better for EPCOT, considering its and international destination. Why just across the way is World Showcase. But I am more proud of the Californian beauty than the Great Wall of China, Sarengeti, Buckingham Palace and the Steppes. If they had to change ours here, it better be more about California or at least about America, since America has a vastness of beauty and sights unamatched anywhere else on Earth. So here in DCA in the future, either upgrade our film for California or the US or not at all.

[disneyfreak59]

^ i think they should update the film for epcot. it will give more variety and it will pull people to the parks!

[CarouselOfProgress]

EPCOT needs to be about the world. Seeing world showcase is nearby and people from other parts of the world always come.

[ElecTronic]

Um excuse me but they put it in FUTURE WORLD not World Showcase and Epcot's main theme isnt The World.

[disneyfreak59]

^if you read his post correctly he said its NEAR the world showcase, and never said anything about where it ws located. but anywho im excited to see this film come about. EPCOT is all about people from all over the world so it will be nice to see what they come up with.

[sora_145]

I doubt that their getting a Cars ride and this.

This is most likley going to EPCOT.

[k_peek_2000]

^--- first off the new cars ride is a flat ride and isnt special at all. 2nd they have 2 huge E-ticket attractions being built right now. They will definatly not hold back on this.

[ElecTronic]

^if you read his post correctly he said its NEAR the world showcase, and never said anything about where it ws located. but anywho im excited to see this film come about. EPCOT is all about people from all over the world so it will be nice to see what they come up with.
Um thats not what Epcot is about sorry to disappoint you. Epcot Center has 2 areas Future World and World Showcase. Future World is about all the dreams and the ingenuity of the future to improve living, understanding, and helping the world. Where if we can dream it, Than we can do it. World Showcase is about the cultures of the many countries of the World where people come together in peace and share the wonders of their cultures for all to see. That Is What Epcot Is About ,Oh one more thing Dont beleive everything Jim Hill says most of the rumors he sends out are false

[disneycast101]

I once had the idea of a ride like this. But I won't disclose my information because I wish to build or present it one day to Disney.
