More Details on Shanghai Disneyland

As many of you know now late last night, Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger made the big reveal of the new Shanghai Disneyland that is set to open in the Spring of 2016. Well the dust has settled and we have even more details including how one attraction could be coming over here to the American parks.

Here is the overview video released by Disney for Shanghai Disneyland:


With Soarin' Over the Horizon announced for Shanghai Disneyland many are speculating this very same version could be making its way over to Epcot and at Disney California Adventure by 2017. Especially with the third theater being added in Epcot, and since that is set to open late 2016 I could see Epcot getting the updated version of Soarin' Over the Horizon when that is completed. Here is the description for the Shanghai Disneyland attraction Soarin' Over the Horizon:

Soaring Over the Horizon
Anyone who has dreamed of seeing the world or soaring like a bird will enjoy the exhilarating experience at Soaring Over the Horizon, with an aerial tour of the globe never seen before. High above some of the world’s most iconic landmarks, Soaring over the Horizon will take travelers on a voyage of discovery that tours every continent. Starting from an ancient observatory nestled in the cloud forest, guests will soar and explore spectacular scenic wonders, with special segments for guests of Shanghai Disneyland overlooking Shanghai and The Great Wall of China.  An ideal attraction for the entire family, it offers an original story, a new walk-through experience and a new aerial tour.  The attraction is an epic re-mastering of the popular attraction at Disney California Adventure, in the United States.

Here are some stills released by Disney imagineering of them filming the new Soarin' attraction including a scene of flying over the Great Wall in China. It remains unclear if that will be included in the version that will most likely be coming to Epcot and California Adventure.
