No news to Soarin' CMs on changing up the movie just yet, there have been rumors, but for now I think they are just rumors. I'd like a Soarin' Over America though, that'd be interesting. I just can't see Soarin' Over Florida, living here for 10 years and traveling across the entire state I haven't seen much aside from beaches that would be too interesting for a film. As for a third theater I have no idea whatsoever as to where they would put that, there is no room backstage for one at all.

Last time I was in Wonders of Life was for a Safety in Motion class and it looked like it did over winter break when it was opened for a few weeks.

Theres also another rumor of a Toy Story themed attraction going into Who Wants to be a Millionaire which closes in mid August, anyone heard anything on that?
"Thanks for Soarin' with us"

I think I read about that on this site, but maybe it was LP. It's supposed to be like Woody's Roundup? It's like Buzz's Space Ranger Spin - the sequel.

Also, I forget where I read it but DisneyQuest is supposedly shutting down. I think it was this site. It's a shame too, that place is fun as heck - but I'll admit when I was there 2 weeks ago you could tell they haven't maintained it that well and that it's definitely aging. They don't really have any brand new video games in there minus one or two, many are broken (which when it first opened they repaired games within hours unless it was a major problem) and some of the attractions just don't work. They removed the Inca Treasure game a few years ago, the Virtual Jungle Cruise no longer splashes water on you, the Alien Encounter 360º shooter (which AE now REALLY doesn't make sense) the guns don't all work, etc.

I asked a CM at Space Mountain though who was talking about DQ and neither she nor her supervisor heard anything about its closure and they said they probably would've if it is as they can transfer there. They said maybe it's because Disney is taking it over fully now, whereas before it was run as its own business.
