Also real quick... how long are each of these shows?
 
Soarin' lasts a whole 5 minutes. The long part is the wait and the short pre-show movie. Just saw this a couple of times on Tuesday. Great show! Line for fast pass merges right into main line a while before the entry into the preview so be prepared for a wait, even if using fast pass. Try to sit in row 1 if you can. I won't spoil it and explain why, but you'll know why if you end up in rows 2 or 3. The theater fits about 80 people with 3 sections of 3 rows each.
 
Stunt show about 30 minutes or so.

Soarin' Ride time 5 minutes, queue time from where fast pass and standby merger 10 min. Ride... excellent. My first time on the ride I think I had one of the two worst seats. I was on the bottom row far right. Far left will be just as bad on the opposite section. These seats are bad because you see alot of the curvature of the screen and this can be distracting.
 

They've really trimmed down the stunt show from the previews in March. That's good to hear, I thought there were a lot of periods where nothing was really going on. I think it lasted almost an hour the day we saw it.

We saw the stunt show the last week in March. It last 35 minutes.

If you want a cool view, sit up on the very top and look over the back and you can watch Catastrophe Canyon from a bird's eye view. It's very cool.

Interesting. They must have streamlined it rather quickly then, we saw it on March 15th, and I just looked at my pictures to verify with the timestamp, and I took my last picture at 4:01PM, after a 3:00 supposed start time. The show didn't really start until closer to 3:25 or so, and the show lasted a little while after my last picture. By the time we finally got out of the arena (or whatever you would call that place) the parade was starting at 4:30. So for us, it was a major investment in time that day. I believe it was either the first or one of the first public soft openings for it, though, and some things went wrong. Several explosions were supposed to happen that didn't (only knew this because a cast member told us afterward while collecting feedback.)
 
Just to let you know be warned that if you are scared of heights than go early! We ended up on the top rowes of that huge stadium and it was a bit scary. Of course it rained while we was up there so had to wait it out before the show. Not good for the nerves but was well worth it to see the show. We all liked it and thought it was the much much better than say Indiana Jones. We will put it on our to do list for next trip too.
