A Word of WARNING About the New Soarin’ in Disney World

By Kendall Waltz Leave a Comment

Soarin’ Across America is Disney’s latest version of the beloved Soarin’ attraction, and it’s officially opening to the public on May 26th. You’ll hop on the iconic seats, click your seatbelt in, and pull on that yellow tab before taking off on a journey across the United States, all in honor of the 250th anniversary of the country.

Now, we’ve gotten a chance to ride the attraction, and there’s something you need to know before you climb in.

Your favorite spot in America might not have made the list! Ah! It’s actually possible that you haven’t been to any of the locations besides Florida if you’re riding in EPCOT.

Now, we’re going to be talking about specific locations here, so if you don’t want any spoilers for when you ride, you might want to keep scrolling by.

Official spoilers ahead!

We were happy to see major cities like New York and, of course, beautiful areas like Hawaii and Alaska.

We also saw Mount Rushmore and the bayous in Louisiana.

I have a question, though: why are there two scenes for Los Angeles? You can see the Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign (which, by the way, is not very far away from each other).

A nice nighttime view!

While there are two for Los Angeles, why did other major cities like Chicago and Las Vegas get left out?

We are in love!

In the comments on some of our Instagram posts, we also saw requests for Philadelphia. Some also brought up the Great Lakes region, the Redwoods in California, and Niagara Falls.

So, what we’re saying, we would not expect to climb up onto the seats and see your hometown, unless you’re from a major city, and even then, you might not have made the cut (and trust me, as someone from Las Vegas, Nevada, I was devastated). Since the United States is such a different state to state, it can be hard to fit it into a five-minute ride.
