Built our own Soarin Ride

[PNO4TE]

On July 4th my brother and I, being the Epcot fanatics we are, put on an Epcot themed celebration at his house we called "Minicot". We re-created three major elements of Epcot at his house. The highlight was Soarin, and we also did Illuminations and Mexico.

You'll find them at youtube with keyword 'Minicot' but here now (since I have 10 posts) is the actual links

Part 1 - Soarin Ride
Part 2 - Illuminations and Mexico

We're thinking about putting together a list of any ride re-creations that anyone else has done, since we posted we found a Tower of Terror re-creation that was quite extensive, and a "Phantasmic" which was a good effort. Let me know if you know of other Disney ride re-creations!

I am moving to Minnesota! You all are amazing.

Just watched your Soarin' - so great. I had to punch my husband and ask, "Why haven't you built me a Soarin'?"

Words are not sufficient to describe those behind the scenes clips. Again, what a dedication of love for Disney. You guys are unbelievable. And once more, thanks so much for sharing.

Wow! That is amazing. You have so much talent !
I wish I knew how to do something like this! I've just finished watching the Soarin' one, and now I'll be moving on to the rest. Can you imagine how much easier having something like this at home would make waiting between trips?

Holy Cow! That was amazingly fantastic! Get a room ready for me I'm moving in

You guys are awesome and the amount of work and detail that went into what you did is truly unbelievable! Excellent job....it gave me the chills

Hello all!

 

[drag n' fly]

I want to be adopted. They turned my favourite ride of all time and made it better!

 

[BrerMom]

In the words of the boy on the tricycle in The Incredibles....
THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!!!

And I thought my Disney Kitchen was cool.. You guys have me beat big time!

I wouldn't worry about the lawsuit. They rarely ever actually happen. Your just having fun on your property with no intent to profit. The only call your likely to get from Disney would be "Want a job?"
Besides, We're still in a recession, Disney has bigger fish to fry! This kind of thing can only help them.
Keep up the good work!

Exactly the thought I was going to post!! EXCELLENT job!!!

How amazing~!!!!!!!

If you ever have a DIS meet, count us in! We're not too far to the east

 

[tonilea]

Words escape me. I just can't tell you how impressed I am.

 

[YouJustBideYourTime!]

Hay, your fireworks show is fantastic! I can't imagine how you put that together. Good job <3

 

[bluerendezvous]

Super cool! What a great family!

We have said that anyone in the Minneapolis area has a fast pass on us! Truly I couldn't think of anything more fun than having real Disney enthusiasts come out for it. I'm pretty sure Bob could pull off Illuminations again in a pinch

Me! Me! Me! I would love to join you for a party- what fun!!! Your videos are so awesome! Dads of the Year to both of you!

 

[Tarheel Tink]

DH and I want to be your neighbors!!!
Amazing and wonderful!
Thank you!

 

[Poohbear123]

Totally Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you Imagine....riding it ANY time you want with NO lines!!!

 

[liznboys]

Bravo!!! That was fantastic! I can't imagine the work that went into all of it. Just wonderful, great job!!

 

[epcotbob]

Thank you for all of the fantastic replies!

How great it would be to have a bunch of Disney fanatics for neighbors!

We could have house-to-house gatherings with different elements of Disney at each house!
