soarin' question

[petrymom]

I have a stupid question - Is Soarin a long term ride or will it go away with the 50th anniversary celebration?

We were at WDW in March '05 and it wasn't open yet. We are going back in December and I am wondering if it will be open. I have heard RAVE reviews of this ride. Thanks!!!!

It will be there a long time, a major attraction.

It is a permanant attraction and it is not to be missed. The best ride at WDW IMHO.

YAHOO!!!!!! Thanks for the response. This will be a definite stop for us next trip!!!!

Soarin' has been a huge boost for the tired old Land pavilion. Get Fast Passes early and prepare to wait in a long line!

I think I would cry if they closed Soarin'! It's not just a ride, it's an experience. MMMMMM...Oranges!!! I can almost feel the wind blowing through my long, blonde hair....smell the ocean, and lift my feet above the trees....

Oops...daydreaming again...lol.

It will be a long term ride because they built the whole ride and it wouldn't make sense if they just took it down. But the decorations on the castle will be gone i'm pretty sure...

Word on the 'Street is that some of the new decorations will stay for the time being, but not all.

As for Soarin'... I'd be surprised if they took that ride down before 2020 (they could, possibly, add a different movie, but Disney's track record on updating their simulators isn't great).

The rumor was that after the celebrations were over the film would be changed to soarin over florida...You could still have the orange trees...

Soarin' recently passed Space Mountain as the Number 1 attraction at WDW. It's not going anywhere.
