Soarin' Around The World Simulator Ride Disney California Adventure [4K] Complete Experience POV

Soarin' Around the World at DCA. We hope you enjoy this POV! While in line, guests pass the Wings of Fame, an homage to California's aviation history. There is also a section dedicated to aviators such as Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, the Wright brothers, Howard Hughes, and others. Inspirational music from a variety of aviation-related films is played in the queue areas, including Patton, MacArthur, Air Force One, The Blue Max, Explorers (all by Jerry Goldsmith), The American President (by Marc Shaiman), DragonHeart, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Angels in the Outfield (1994) (both by Randy Edelman), The Last Starfighter (by Craig Safan), Apollo 13, and The Rocketeer (both by James Horner), Always (by John Williams) and the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers (by Michael Kamen). The Air Force Song and "Jupiter" from Gustav Holst's orchestral suite The Planets are also heard, based on their use in The Right Stuff. Before entering the theater area, guests are placed in one of three preshow areas, called Alpha Gate, Bravo Gate, and Charlie Gate (named for the first three letters of the NATO phonetic alphabet). Just before boarding, guests see a pre-boarding video hosted by their chief flight attendant, Patrick Warburton. (who actually guest starred in person during the 2024 "Soarin' over California" run.) The attraction opened with the park in 2001 as Soarin' Over California in what was then the park's Condor Flats area. In early 2015, it closed for refurbishment as the surrounding area was transformed into Grizzly Peak Airfield. It reopened on May 15, 2015, with new exterior theming and updates to its screen and projection system. It now utilizes a laser illuminated digital projection array, replacing its original IMAX systems. Several exterior changes include the replacement of the mock-up RS-25 rocket engine with a fire lookout tower. From January to March 2016, the attraction intermittently operated as Soarin' Over California to prepare for the introduction of the Soarin' Around the World ride film. The original film was shown until June 16, when the attraction was closed to prepare for the new film's debut on June 17. Since Soarin' Around the World's opening on June 17, 2016, visitors to Disney California Adventure are usually able to find Soarin' Around the World' playing. However, on various occasions, Disney has brought back the original Soarin' Over California for return engagements. The first was on May 23, 2019, Disney announced that Soarin' Over California would temporarily return to the park for the month of June, following the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Park on May 31. On June 21, they announced that the limited return had been extended to August 31, 2019, due to popular demand. On February 28, 2020, the California version of the ride returned to California Adventure. The limited engagement was scheduled to run through April 21, but ended prematurely when the resort began its extended closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic on March 13. When the resort reopened on April 30, 2021, "Soarin' Around the World" was being shown. The following year, the California version began its annual temporary return for the duration of the Food & Wine Festival. The film you see here debuted at Shanghai Disneyland Park as Soaring Over the Horizon on June 16, 2016. Before then, it was announced that Epcot and Disney California Adventure would also debut versions of the new film, titled Soarin' Around the World. Unlike the original film, the updated version heavily utilizes computer generated imagery (which it has been criticized for), including animated transitions between scenes. The updated attractions opened on June 17, 2016, at Disney California Adventure and Epcot, along with a third theater for the latter location. *QUICK NOTE: Since we posted this video, the Paris scene finally got fixed. It no longer shows an unintentionally "curved" Eiffel Tower that was ridiculed by many.* Visit: Matterhorn, Switzerland/Italy Isfjord, Greenland Port Jackson in Sydney, Australia Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany Kilimanjaro National Park and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania The Great Wall of China The Great Pyramids in Egypt Taj Mahal, India Monument Valley, Arizona, United States Lau Islands, Fiji Iguazu Falls (not Niagara Falls) in Brazil and Argentina Eiffel Tower in Paris, France (Shanghai, Disney California Adventure, & Epcot version) and Disneyland, California, United States (DCA version) which has Tinker Bell and ends with fireworks. Soarin' Around the World/Over the Horizon received a new score by Bruce Broughton, heavily based on Goldsmith's original score. #dca #soarin #disneycaliforniaadventure #disney #disneyland #thecoasterviews #familyride #familyrides #ilovedisney #classicdisney #disneyworld #disneyparks #happiestplaceonearth #californiaadventure #themepark ‪@Disneyland‬ 0:00- Entrance/Queue 1:36- Pre-Show 3:14- Ride 8:15- Outro
