Hello Friends!
I bring you this post an interesting breaking (previously long time rumored) news of our beloved Walt Disney World ride attraction.

If you can recall or those who visit during the celebration of 'Happiest Celebration on Earth' promotion. During this special event, Walt Disney World brought a special attraction that was from the Disney's California Adventure Park called 'Soarin' over California (which opened in February 8, 2001).

Opening in May 5, 2005, Walt Disney World got a similar attraction as well and called it "Soarin'". The current ride takes guests high above on a special glider that visited several scenes in California, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Napa Valley, and Disneyland Park. And if you looked closely and fast enough to see a 'hidden mickey' in part of the film too!

From several years ago, rumors were circulating about a 'possible' updated movie and new enhancements to the aged attraction. Plans did went dim when other projects got green-lit as the parks were trying to bring more guests to its parks due to the competition of Universal Orlando's Harry Potter theme land attraction.
Disney Fan site named "Disney and more", wrote back in July 2013 about a possible 'updated screens to HD 4K to 8K at both attractions to Disney California Adventure and Walt Disney World.' Also in the post mentioned about 'possible' places where the new film could be showing. Read more about the article here! Click here.
As of Monday October 19, 2015 , Disney FINALLY approved the long-waited, long rumored updated/expanded attraction to its beloved attraction...Soarin' . Soarin' at Walt Disney World will be closing on January 4, 2016. (Source: DisneyParks.com)

Soarin’ Around the World is set to open in 2016. Although no exact date has been given, Erin Glover of Disney Parks Blog has confirmed that the makeover of the popular ride will take place both at Walt Disney World in Florida and at Disneyland Resort in California. The updated version will feature new digital screens and projection systems. It will use the same technology as the planned Soaring Over the Horizon ride at Shanghai Disney Resort.
With Soarin’ Around the World, guests will fly over both natural and man-made attractions such as The Great Wall of China and the plains of Africa. There is no word on how long the new film will be. The updated ride will totally replace the current film, guests will not be able to choose the California version. There has been no announcement on what music will accompany the new film.
