Soarin'

[CarolAnn]

Hi Bluebirds,

I am unsure of the height restriction, but they had a special lap belt for a young girl that went on in our row, it effectively came between the legs to meet the belt that the rest of us had on, to ensure little guests didn't slide out, she barely looked 6.
You are suspended above the ground ( tip: as you enter the ride, the rows in the front of the room will be higher in the stack than the rows at the back),not that it makes any difference to the experience, except you can see the legs of the people that had been in the row in front of you, suspended above you, if you look!!
Tricia - If you can go on Rockin Roller coaster you will certainly be fine on this, more enjoyable, look out for the interesting smells too [msnwink] Clever ol Disney!!

Can't wait to try it, sounds great and being in one of my favourite parks is a bonus!!!

Sorain is running a soft opening now for anybody in Florida this week. The official date of the ribbon cutting is 5th May. Went on it yesterday, queues were only 20 mins and the ride is fantastic. Definately one to go on.

Hopefully my youngest can go on. It sounds fantastic. It is a bonus that it will be open for our trip in May.[sporty][clap][beer]

There is a height restriction of 40" on Soarin.

Stuart, do you know if the rest of the pavillion is opening at the same time as Soarin? It was all closed when we went on the Soarin ride on 17th April, it was a bit eery actually, and it is one of our fav places to eat too!!

The official opening for Soarin is May 5th but when we went to Epcot on Thursday 21st April they were testing the ride. They only had 1 theatre open that day and we had to wait for about 30 minutes but later in the day the queue was 80 minutes long. We enjoyed the ride - worth a visit! Especially the smell of oranges when you fly through the orange grove.

Went on Soarin' a couple of days ago. Absolutely stunning!! We went stright back and queued again for it. At one point as you soar over the PGA golf course one of the players hits a ball that comes right for you and everyone ducks !!

Very Highly recommended.
