[edit] Merge with Soarin' proposal
I think Soarin' should be merged into this article. Many of the other Disneyland/Walt Disney World attractions are covered on a single page, even when the rides are very different (see Space Mountain and Haunted Mansion). These rides are exactly the same, other than the name. Bytebear 01:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

From the Talk page at Soarin':
Why does this need it's own article? The ride itself is the same as the original at DCA. --Lyght 05:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

- Because it almost certainly will change (not speculation) to a different film in the near future, possibly to be announced in October 1, the time that Disney usually reveals any Disney-ish details for the next year. WBHoenig 00:12, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

- Yes, there has been rumors about the change and it will happen. The merge would later need to be forked. --Napnet 20:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

- Although the film will change (almost certainly), the ride is still the same. Most (if not all) of the rides common to the parks have one page with the differences highlighted, for example Space Mountain, which is a different ride in almost all the parks worldwide. So these articles should be merged. Phydend 01:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Even if the film were changed, it still should not have it's own page. Phydend hit the nail on the head. Bytebear 05:23, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'll agree they should be merged. The only difference is the name, and yes I know the film will probably change someday, but its easy enough to add descriptions for each version, Tower of Terror is a good example. What about the buildings and queues, are they different from each other? --blm07 18:24, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

- The ride at California Adventure is in its own building (if I remember correctly it looked like an airplane hangar, but not sure it's been 2 years), the one at Epcot is in The Land's building. The queue in California is dedicated more to flying with airplanes hanging above the line and facts and figures about firsts in flight on the walls, the queue at Epcot is more based on conservationism with video screens giving facts about the rainforest, desert, etc. The queue videos are the same, however.

I have gone ahead and merged the two articles. Turns out that about 90% of the text was identical (other than individual updates - making them out of sync). A merge was the best solution. Bytebear 00:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
OK, but it should be unmerged if a new film goes in there. It will then have nothing to do with Soarin'. 68.18.30.95 20:02, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia
The trivia section needs to be cleaned up, and probably woven into the article instead of just a bullet list of information. References are also needed. Bytebear 00:14, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Can anyone confirm that Michael Eisner is in fact the golfer in the film? Bytebear 07:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I seem to recall hearing that in the History Channel's Modern Marvels episode featured WDW (and the ride Soarin'). I have a copy of that DVD so I'll look into it. MoodyGroove 20:54, 7 May 2007 (UTC)MoodyGroove
[edit] Music
While waiting in line at Soarin' in WDW in Orlando, one of the songs they played was the musical score from Band of Brothers. MoodyGroove 20:54, 7 May 2007 (UTC)MoodyGroove
