Soarin’ has been down for refurbishment for a little while now. Disney is upgrading the popular attraction with a new film and a third theater. However, starting soon, guests will be able to ride the attraction with the original film one more time.
This is a big day for announcements from Disney. Soarin’ has been down for a refurb, because they are adding another theater and changing the movie. It’s been very disappointing for guests who look forward to that ride, but we now have an opening date!
There have been some updates to the Refurbishment Schedule. You can always find this information on the menu bar under Disney Info.
One of the most popular rides on Disney property just closed its doors for a very long refurbishment. It will have gotten a much needed upgrade by the time it reopens, but lots of people traveling are going to be missing one of their favorite rides.
Disney has confirmed that there will be an extra track added for Toy Story Midway Mania! in Hollywood Studios and another theater added for Soarin’ in Epcot.
Both attractions are very popular and often have long wait times, even during the off peak seasons. This is definitely a welcome addition.
The expansions are expected to be done by late 2016.
