maliboomer Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I've heard on mulitple message boards that the new Soarin' queue is way better then DCA but I wasn't expecting the difference. I was throughly disappointed with the Cali versions queue and this is superior. Its very sleek and MCO Aiportish with lots of blue. All these pictures are from http://themeparks.com/ sorry they're slightly grainy... Signage I believe this is where the DCA outside queue is? The area before the queue is directed to the two theatres
robbalvey Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Wow! That does look nice. I mean, it looks like an airport, basically, which I guess it was it's supposed to look like. The DCA version really has no queue theming....just a bunch of hallways...but then again, would it be a recent Disneyland Resort addition without a hallway? Â --Robb "Soarin...Tower...Buzz....etc..."

SharkTums Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I like indoor queues! Â Elissa "what were the 'screens' people were talking about in the queue?" Alvey
Billy Hill Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Much better indeed. Then again, it wouldn't take much to be a major improvement over DCA Soarin's queue. Although I like the ride itself very much, it's an all-time disappointing Disney major attraction queue. The sad thing is that in most other parks that I've visited the regular Soarin' queue would be more than acceptable. It only sucks because it's a sucky Disney queue.
Sir Clinksalot Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I dunno, the Paradise Pier attraction queues are pretty bad. I still think the best queues in DCA are Grizzly, Bugs (duh), Muppets (duh again) and SSL. Â The rest are just kind of bleh ... and not Disney standard IMO.
Billy Hill Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 For the most part, agreed. ToT's queue (the inside part) is pretty sweet though.
Billy Hill Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I forgot to mention... I've never actually been through SSL's queue. I've only stood at the entrance part to have a smoke. It was closed down before I ever had a chance to ride it.
COOOOLkid Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 yeah... only if they didn't have the outside queue... WITH switchbacks...
coasters 4 me Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I think the 1st one is way more nicer looking. I like blue, so it fits my colour scheme. But it is just alot more exciting than the 2nd one.
CoasterFanatic Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) I dig the queue, but why does the logo have to look like a video game logo from the mid to late 80s? Edited March 22, 2005 by CoasterFanatic
RCTfan Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Garsh, I work right next to the Land and I haven't even ridden it! UNFAIR. I can't wait to see it in person, I HEAR (curses) its amazing. Â And how dare you visit Soarin and not come to the Living Seas to visit! You missed out on Turtle Talk, how could you?! Â Its the number 3 top rated attraction in ALL of Disney World! Yes indeedy.
Jose Eber Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I'm surprised pics were posted. During the tour you are asked not to take any photographs. Â Let's hope this leak won't stop them from doing testing with the public.
robbalvey Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I dig the queue, but why does the logo have to look like a video game logo from the mid to late 80s? Â Hey, I'm kind of diggin the logo looking like an 80s video game! Â Reminds me of ones like this: Â Â Â Â
vertgforces Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 ^ lol, Â Personally i felt it looked like what it was supossed to look like (an airline logo)
Hattuchili Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I liked the pictures, but yes, the logo looks a little bit strange. I hope the ride is better as the logo? Â --Soeren
socalMAN123 Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Yeah it probably is better. Even though that logo is ghetto, doesn't make the ride like it.
coaster1 Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 wow .. I need to get back to EPCOT .. looks alot better than DCA's, although I like the historical photos in the queue at DCA's .. just not the outdoor part.
CoasterFanatic Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Ok. You have made me resort to the power of photoshop. Â // we need some ps contests. Soaring - The Game

CoasterEricHP Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 I love the logo! That's all I have to say! Great pictures! Â Â Eric "Epcot Rocks!" Geiple
maliboomer Posted March 24, 2005 Author Posted March 24, 2005 Okay, I've been asked so many times why didn't they just go and film a Florida/America/World movie instead of showing the current CA one when it first opened. It's because you don't just strap a camera to a helicopter and fly around. You have to write a script, have many location scouts, permission to film in National Parks, Editing, Decide on FPS etc, etc, etc.
JT3000 Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 And in recent Disney fashion, they were too lazy to do all that.
maliboomer Posted March 24, 2005 Author Posted March 24, 2005 ^More like they haven't had the time, it took them over a year to get all permissions to film the CA film.
CreativeForce Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Well the rumour mill has been grinding out that a new film for soarin will replace the California one once the 50th celebration is over. Of course, as with all rumours (especially Disney), I will believe it when I see the new film with my own eyes!
