I did not liek the cuts along with some other issues I felt were corner cutting moves.Īs the years have gone by I have actually softened to the cut thing. You know, I was an outspoken critic when Soarn’ first opened. Please ask questions there is a large amount of detaol that isn’t noticed to the untrained eye. Another insider tip about the experience the que line is themed to famous airports around the world if you are a traveler you may be able to guess which ones. I never go to Epcot without visiting this attraction. Also there are rock climbers on the left of the screen in the Yosemite scene look for them. Remember that there is an inherent theme of disney magic in the hang gliders allowing them to vcover the vast distances that are seen in the journey. This ride is a fantastic engineering feet and I was proud to work there for several years. As far as the holiday being chosen it was simply timing and the fact that the lighting in the park translated better for the film. The pared scene took hours to film and the performers reset and did the same short movement over and over. Second the finale was filmed after hours so most attraction were closed and extras used to simulate crowds. Disney had to get special permission to film with the helicopter so they edited in the hang glider in post. Patrick returns to the greenscreen at the end, and once again the performances are identical, right down to the slight head waggle as he walks away.Īs a former flight attendant at the Epcot attraction I have several points for you. The background behind him is different, which was probably changed in post (he must have shot the original in front of greenscreen).Īlso, the rest of the video is clearly the same as Disneyland (dead giveaway: kid in Disneyland sweatshirt). The only difference I noticed was in the quality of the youtube sound, which might be what you’re catching. Tilt of the head, blinks, crinkle in his forehead, Inflection and rhythm of speech is also identical. Everything from the lighting on his jacket to the lay of his tie to the facial ticks and squints seems to be identical. I don’t spot any differences in the performances. The Epcot video is in the middle of a slow zoom, which helps hide the dissolve, but it’s impossible to miss if you’re looking for it. Hard to spot on Youtube, but very easy to spot in the ride, which I just rode today (and noticed again). Sorry, I just watched it today and there’s definitely a dissolve. So when Patrick Warburton gives his little spiel, there is a very subtle dissolve after the word “Soarin'”, in order to cut out the extra words. The only problem is, it uses the same preshow video as “Soarin’ Over California” at DCA. You West Coasters can’t find this one, but at Epcot, the ride’s title is just a single word. “Hello, and welcome to Soarin’ (over California)” And now that I point them out to you, they will be stuck in your head and you will just have to watch for them also. Some of them are just things that bother me. Some of these are easter eggs that you’re already familiar with. And in an admirable show of restraint, I will not mention my tendency to lean out over my seat and see if I can spot a baseball cap lying in the pit at the foot of the screen. So today I thought I would drag everyone into my own obsessive-compulsive world and highlight all the stupid things that I can’t help noticing as I ride Soarin’. And when Waldo starts bouncing on people’s heads, I’m listening for Beaker’s only intelligible line. When the bumblebees start singing in It’s Tough To Be a Bug, I’m the only idiot in the audience watching Flik do his little dance on his way off the stage. You tend to find little things that you fixate on and quote in your head or watch for. I’ve talked before about the Rocky Horror Picture Show aspect of Disney, for those of us that go a lot. I’m telling you, I can recite every line of dialog in the movie word for word (that’s a little Soarin’ joke. Maybe not Rednecks-on-COPS number of times, but certainly Jessica-Simpson-Attempts-Fourth-Grade number of times. Cher-Cosmetic-Procedures number of times. I’m talking Peyton-Manning-to-Marvin-Harrison number of times. Like many of you, I’ve ridden Soarin’ a number of times.
