Here's a full ride video for Soarin. It looks like the same film will be in all the parks as they went with a location neutral big city firework ending instead of one for each of the parks.
The new version supposedly will end over Epcot.
Never understood why Soarin was popular. This new update is pretty neat though. Not something I'd wait 70 minutes for though.
1 and done here. I'll check the new one out if I ever go back to WDW but I was unimpressed.Me neither. I rode it for my first time last year and was pretty underwhelmed.
Not so sure how you can can conclude that though.Just remember guys. These rides may be really cool and at times better than the ones we have, but they have a minuscule amount of attractions compared to any other resort.
We still have it better IMO.
Not saying their rides aren't impressive, but most people usually suffer from "It's new and different, so that makes it better" syndrome.
Jack looks awesome. But I am always painfully aware that I am looking at a robot on a 10 sec. loop. Especially when the boats back up in the treasure scene and you get to watch Jack do his thing 4 times. Talk about Uncanny Valley! It's like 2001 meets Kingdom Keepers with a pinch of "Stepford Wives"/Westworld" stirred in.I have extreme screen fatigue, and they rarely, rarely look good to me, but I'm impressed with how screens are utilized in Pirates along with the AA's. I think it pretty much proves my belief they play well off each other. Hell, the Jack Sparrow AA in our Pirates is incredible to me.
I finally ride it and...it's fine. It's a good ride. But it's like maybe the 5th best ride in the park, IMO, and I'd put it somewhere between 8-10th at the resort.
I think it's in the top 3 of the resort, and that's because I take it as a full experience, from the outside to the queue, to the elevator, to the actual ride...it's tremendously well themed and thrilling also.
Journey to the Center of the Earth is still the best ride I've ever been on, but I guess it's all subjective.
Not to mention, it's in a freakin' volcano!
Yes, they filmed over night almost two years ago now.The new version supposedly will end over Epcot.
