    So maybe its a difference between Florida and California versions, but since this was one of my babies when i worked at DCA, a few notes:
    The canopy is pneumatically (pressurized air) not hydraulic (pressurized oil) controlled. Scents are done by a beaded filter material with individual tubes going into the squirrel cage fan each seat has in the canopy. The carriage itself has a single park air connection that runs the brakes, canopies, and scent air, and restraint unlock.
    When we ran IMAX 70mm film our goal was always to get 10,000 cycles before having to replace it. We did this 5 times before we replaced the film projectors with the 4 christie laser powered 4k projectors in use now.
    Also a fun fact: the DCA version of Soarin over the World was supposed to approach over DCA before turning and flying over Disneyland. This was all shot (with World of Color on the pier and the Red Car around Cathay circle) but was cut due to time as the extra 5 seconds would have dropped capacity.

    We’ve got a similar attraction up here in Minneapolis at the Mall of America called “FlyOver America”. The ride mechanism is very similar to Soarin’, but it loads on three levels and then each rider section slides out like a drawer toward the screen. Doesn’t have the ‘wow factor’ of Soarin’s take-off lift, but it’s still a good ride. In fact, I like it a lot more than Soarin’ Around the World.

    I saw a similar concept with two sets of seats connected by a diagonal bar so one set can be unloaded and loaded while the other end is in the attraction area. The somewhat similar ride at Legoland has only one row and rotates around a wall to allow for loading and unloading during the cycle as well.

    I wonder if the redeveloped ride system where riders are lowered into place is as much fun as the original system. The sensation of being lifted up really adds to the illusion of the flight, such a great way to start the show.

  • @averyeml

    Okay I’m dying to know- do you, or have you ever considered, selling or releasing the 3D printing files you use to make these ride models? Or if you’re getting them from someone else, would you share the source?
    I am changing my upper elementary classroom decor theme to Disney, with an emphasis on Tomorrowland and old school EPCOT and patent images and a general focus on the “keep moving forward” and creativity and engineering side of things. These would make an INCREDIBLE thing to put on shelves and such.
