Horizons/Soarin

I know this will never happen, but when i was younger my favorite part of Horizons when you flew over New York and then in to outer space. I woudl love for EPCOT to consider showing these films on the Soarin ride if even only for a 1 day special event.

I don't remember any scene in Horizons the way you have described it. If anyone else does, please correct me, but, I'm thinking that you are confusing one or two other attractions and splicing them together in your memory.

But will the new Soarin' included a scene from Arendelle? Sorry couldn't resist.

As for flying over New York and then space in Horizons, I don't recall New York but you could go into space. You had a choice or the seas, desert or space. I always wanted the seas.

I know it would never happen and I wouldn't want to do it all the time, but I would love a Big Hero 6 version of Soarin' where the rider is Hiro and you are riding on Baymax over the city of San Fransokyo.

It may be on youtube but would love to experience it again as if in flight.

I believe the closest thing you can get now is at the exit of Star Tours at Tokyo Disneyland. They have a video area advertising other "excursions" from Star Tours and they are, you guessed it, Mesa Verde, Brava Centauri, and Sea Castle. Looking forward to seeing them for the first time since 1998 this weekend.

DD worked at Soarin' and the reference they were using when talking about the new film was "global." That actually makes the most sense given the World Showcase.

But a Florida film is not necessarily that bad. If you ever have chance to watch Aerial America episodes on Smithsonian Channel I was very much wowed by some of the footage.

I love the Aerial America episodes! I found them one night when I was looking for something calming to watch while my then-newborn was almost asleep in my lap. Beautiful scenery!

OK, that I remember but, not in the manner that was described. No problem. I noticed in that segment something that made me wonder. I have heard the argument about the woman in the window at Spaceship Earth. It appears to me that it isn't in SSE, but, was in Horizons. Maybe both... don't really remember.
