The new Soarin Around The World at Epcot opened on June 17th.
The new footage features over a dozen new experiences. Guests will be immersed in spectacular sights complimented by sound effects and subtle smells. The next generation of riders will glide over wonders from around the world. Take flight over Sydney Harbor. Gaze in wonder as you travel along The Great Wall of China. Experience the Matterhorn in Sweden. These are just a few new Soarin locations.
Soarin’ Around the World art director Jason Grandt, told the Orlando Sentinel,
“We’re taking our guests on this epic journey that spans six continents and shows them some of the greatest wonders of the world like the Great Wall of China. The sights you’re going to see are going to be stunning, crystal-clear and unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Imagineering has sort of created this one-of-kind, unique camera system that delivers the highest resolution film imagery anywhere. … We’ve coupled that with a new laser projection system.”
If you’re staying in one of our Orlando vacation homes, don’t forget you’ll be able to make FastPass+ Reservations 30 days in advance.
