“Soarin’ Around the World” at Epcot gets an Update

Disney has recently updated the popular attraction “Soarin’ Around the World” at Epcot, which has created great excitement among visitors. Since the attraction first opened in 2005, it has been a favorite among guests, and in 2016 it was updated to take visitors on a spectacular journey around the world.

The most notable change is in the attraction’s finale. Previously, the ride ended with a view of Epcot as it looked before the park’s extensive transformation in recent years. Now, Disney has updated the finale to reflect today’s Epcot, including the new areas such as World Celebration and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. The new scene focuses on the Epcot logo and the magical lights on Spaceship Earth, with fireworks forming a hidden Mickey.

Another important update is the correction of the Eiffel Tower in the Paris scene. Previously, the tower appeared curved as guests approached, breaking the illusion. Now, the tower is shown from a longer distance and stands more upright, significantly improving the visual experience. To avoid the previous curved effect, guests had to sit in the middle of the theater. Now, this distortion is minimized, although it may still be slightly visible from certain angles.

Disney has also made adjustments in other scenes to reduce distortion. This includes keeping a distance from architectural elements and using new footage that provides a more natural visual experience. These changes are important to keep the attraction relevant and up-to-date, and will likely be well received by most.
