Imagine a wind-through-your-hair flight above The Great Wall of China, a bird’s-eye view of the Sydney Harbor in Australia, gliding around the Matterhorn in Switzerland...
These are among more than a dozen breathtaking ways you’ll be able to experience the wonders of the world when Soarin’ Around the World makes its groundbreaking debut across the globe this summer. The next generation of the popular Soarin’ attraction makes its premiere at the grand opening of Shanghai Disneyland this summer as Soaring Over the Horizon.
The next day on June 17, guests at Disney California Adventure park at the Disneyland Resort and Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort will be able to board the exhilarating aerial adventure that immerses you in a multi-sensory experience, complete with stunning sights, spectacular sounds and even subtle scents. Fastpass+ will be an option for Soarin’ beginning Thursday, April 21.

When Soarin' re-opens, there will be three theaters. Anyone have any intel on any plans to keep the old version playing in one of the theaters? Or perhaps cycle it in and out throughout the year?
I too am a huge Soarin' fanboy and I don't see how the old version can be beat.
No idea on that, but I do recall on a visit 2 years ago we sat next to a couple, and once the film started the husband exclaimed; "Awe, man, we've gotten the same movie 4 times in a row!"
Awe, man!
Give him some credit. Maybe he rode Tower of Terror 4 times in a row the day before and saw 4 different programs.

Sadly the way those theaters are programmed, it's not really an option. While not practical, I too would have loved to have seen it. Just like I wish old Star Tours was still featured in one of the six simulators.
I think like others, I will miss the score more than anything. And Patrick Warburton, if he doesn't return.

A new musical score, composed by Bruce Broughton, is based on the original Soarin' score by late composer Jerry Goldsmith. It is performed by the London Studio Orchestra.
He did Bambi II, so you know it will be good.
