Soarin'

[njmom47]

While I was superstressed at work today, I decided to go on Youtube and watch a Soarin' video to calm down. (It worked)
When we were in WDW last (ok, I know it was a long time ago), I seem to recall there was interactive screens in the area where people would wait in line where we would play, something like "bouncing" balls by waving our arms. IIRC, there was 4 screens, and "teams" (really, it was just the people standing in front of each screen) would "compete." That was sooo much fun. It seems in the videos I watched there is now bright blue walls/lights.
Am I correct that something like that actually existed or is my memory playing tricks on me? If that did exist, why doesn't it any more? Just curious.
TIA

They are still there and are operational periodically while you wait in line.

They are still there. You wait in line by those screens, then you reach the area with the blue walls, where they merge fastpass+ and stand by lines.

Thank you!
I watched 4 different videos on Youtube and I guess no one videotaped that part.
