Although its connection to EPCOT was never really explained by Imagineering to the general public, I always viewed Soarin’s thematic connection to EPCOT as subtle, but not needing exhaustive mental gymnastics to justify its inclusion. Meanwhile, EPCOT’s Soarin’ over California attraction had a tenuous and tangential connection to the park’s thesis statement. Grizzly Peak Airfield, which premiered in 2015, aligned more closely with the content actually seen on screen on Soarin’ – the scenes of the High Sierras and Yosemite National Park jived well with the aesthetic profile of the area and complimented the land’s references to famed naturalist John Muir. Both Condor Flats and Grizzly Peak Airfield represented environments in Califo rnia and honored the state’s rich history of aviation and environmentalism. Here, the park’s connection to the attraction’s source material was obvious and logical, despite undergoing a fairly radical aesthetic shift near the end of Soarin’ Over California’s tenure. Soarin’ Over California began operations in 2001 in Disney’s California Adventure. That being said, I predict that it will be very easy to parse out what version of the attraction I prefer, if I don’t outright say so. I will not (consciously) focus on which version of the attraction is better, but rather, attempt to describe and analyze each, and showcase their strengths and weaknesses. These changes are both harmful and helpful to how Soarin’ now operates and how it makes a thematic statement that fits into EPCOT. In so doing, Soarin’s change is less of a transformation, but a transition from a narrow and specialized approach to an experience that is now broad and sweeping. The scope of the attraction has changed, altering the thematic landscape of EPCOT. But in other ways, everything has changed: Soarin’ is no longer flying over California, but is now flying around the world. Excited passengers gasp and whoop when surprised with a bird’s eye view of the world that they very rarely get to see from such an angle. Cultural and natural landmarks beckon and shimmer. There’s still grandiose and emotionally charged music.
