The third theater building was all new back-stage construction added to the existing structure and sharing the queue and exit.

Standby line times vary seasonally, and even after the addition of the third theater can often be at least 40 minutes and potentially much longer. Wait Times: Use FastPass if at all convenient.

This attraction is open during both morning and evening Extra Magic Hours. Open/Close: Opens and closes with the park. To add to feeling, at key moments, scents are piped in to augment what is seen on the screen. Soarin' remains a crowd pleaser, using the giant screen projection and motion simulation to put riders into the scenes. Each Disney Park that has a Soarin' attraction has a unique local ending and Epcot's includes a flyover of Future World's Fountain of Nations approaching Spaceship Earth with fireworks launching from the park's parking lot. With the opening of Shanghai Disneyland, a new ride film, Soarin' Around the World was installed. Every scene depicted in the original film was in California.ĭue to the overwhelming demand for the attraction, in 2016, Epcot added a third theater to the attraction (theoretically, a 50% increase to capacity). The simulated hang glider is an innovative use of technology that fits in with Epcot, but the ride's original (2005-2016) film was conceived and filmed for Disney's California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort. Soarin' is an interesting choice for adding to Epcot.
