What's the latest word on "Soarin"? Will we be "soarin" over Florida soon...

[Principessa Alba]

... or was that just a rumor?

I just love that ride! I think its exhilerating!

If the film is changed I seriously doubt it would be changed to flights strictly over Florida.

The ONLY reason it was "Soarin' Over California" (and not the USA) in the first place, is that it was part of "Disney's CALIFORNIA Adventure", the sister park to Disneyland (built on DL's former PARKING LOT, actually).
Originally, Disney was going to build a park there called "WESTCOT" (think "West Coast Epcot") but the locals in Anaheim would not allow it. (Too much traffic and disruption already.)

So... Disney had to come up with a NEW "theme" that would appeal to the locals... and DCA was born. And "Soarin' (Over California") turned out to the break-out HIT of the entire new park!

But, now that Soarin' is a huge success (on BOTH coasts) Disney will finally be able to create a film with more "wide appeal" rather than just localized to any given state.
The walls of the queue at the Epcot version have been lined with scenes of many and varied locations since the attraction was built.
I expect a film change coming up. I'm just not sure of the timetable.

(And don't be too surprised if some of your favorite scenes and SMELLS are a part of the new show, too.)

I think that it would be fun to soar over the whole USA!

Maybe they'll let me design it if I call them...

I love it as it is, but will be happy to see a new film as well!

Being that it's in Epcot, with the World Showcase and all, it should be Soarin' Over the World. :

When we were there last year a CM told us they were already filming a Soarin' all over the world (i.e. great wall of China, Taj Mahal, Pyramids, etc...)

I agree.

 

[Mickey1122]

I doubt this would happen, but I think it would be great if there was a Soarin' in every country, where you could soar over landmarks. There probably isn't room for this, but I think it would be cool to do something like that.

 

[Msslaydbug]

I also love Soarin just the way it is but would also love to see a Soarin around the World !

 

[blondeheroine]

I'd love a new film, but I really do hope they keep the original music. I LOVE that music.

When we took the undiscovered future world tour, I asked about if they would be changing the film, and our guide told us not in the near future. It's just way too expensive to shoot.

I actually heard the exact same thing. I want to say I heard it on a podcast but I'm not sure.

 

[Micca]

I'd like to see "Soarin' Over World Showcase Lagoon". You get off the attraction and you're at your ADR restaurant.

 

[Pluto 2]

i can see them changing it, it will be like a whole new ride

 

[tomerin]

a soarin over the world where the ending scenes are a flight over each disney world park and ending over WDW

Exactly what I was going to say!

So do I !

cool!

Soarin' over the World would be amazing. Just think...

The Himalayas
The Grand Canal in Venice
Great Wall of China
The Mall in Washington , D.C.
icebergs in the north Atlantic
ancient ruins in Greece
vineyards in France or Italy
English Channel/cliffs at Dover
Niagra Falls or Victoria Falls
African plain during a stampede
downtown Tokyo or Hong Kong
ending with a flyover of Spaceship Earth (similar to flying over the DL castle) and into Illuminations.
