Cool Fact: This was Kobe Bryant's favorite ride.

Soarin' Around the World... what a bummer. The CGI transitions, the new locations, the cheesy Indiana Jones-style map preshow, the absence of load music which was replaced by howling wind... and worst of all, the way the music was edited. They tried to make it sound cultural and fit in with the different locations, but the new music is just flat and boring... please, did you really have to mess with this ride? Bring back the original!

Soarin' Over California is FAR Superior to Soarin' Around the World. All the UBER fake looking CGI in the new version ruins it for me.

I tear up everytime! why why why? How can a simple flight simulation do this? There is something so honest and sincere about the pairing of the scenes and the music in the "California" that is perfect. The music of the new "Soarin' World" just seems forced. What "World" does do better is the transitions between scenes.

Interesting fact: The Disneyland segment was filmed during the Private Cast Member Christmas party in early December 2000 with the employees and their families only. I know, I was there. I remember seeing the IMAX camera helicopter flying over us during the filming.

The ride moved Jerry Goldsmith to tears. Thus the score. He was a genius, and a good friend and colleague.

The CGI in the new version just kills it for me, with fake elephants, kites etc...Soarin' Over California had some fake things, but it wasn't as obvious. Why can't they show both the old and the new? Maybe have even more experiences, like Star Tours? Bring back SoC.

Why change it when it was already perfect? All that newer technology they had for Soarin' Around The World and it looks so fake at times where Soarin' Over California always feels real, even when watching it here.

Just experienced Soarin' around the world after enjoying the original for all these years. I miss California and the orange grove...

Love this! Brings back so many memories...... Anyone else smelling this video like I am?

The music is beautiful. Such a classic!

Remember freaking out when the golf ball comes right at you?

This ride was my childhood please change it back!

In this time of sheltered-in-place with the Happiest Place on Earth closed for two weeks and now "until further notice", I just enjoyed a virtual Disney experience. I'm now inspired to take my family to a virtual Disneyland today! Thanks Phillip!

Thank you! Our favorite ride in Disneyland, we are so sorry it isn't being seen anymore. California is our home and we love it. Thank you!

I get goosebumps seeing this ride again, almost teared up how amazing this version was!

What really gets me is that I experienced uncomplicated joy on this ride. I experienced true joy, no worries, no “but if”s, nothing. I am looking an my hands right now counting experiences like this and there are five fingers up, and three of them are this ride.

This ride really helps back up my love for aviation and flying! It really shows how amazing seeing these places from the air is!
