True, at least on Horizons you couldn't really see the top of the screen. Soarin' always seems a little fake when the simulator leans back and there is the top of the screen.

Yeah thats why the middle is the best on Soarin' I forgot the coordinates but its like the 2nd row, in section B i think so B2? I may be wrong though.

I dont recall ever seeing it anywhere. Course the moving Tetris-esque pieces and (I think) the rocket launch are bits recycled from If You Had Wings. Trying to remember thw whole movie loop and if there were any other recycled bits.

There were a couple different versions of the Horizons video on YouTube and also on a couple of tribute sites but I have never seen any film specifically covering the Omnimax film alone.

The best Horizons tribute site I have found is www.horizons1.com. They even have a recreated ridethrough with the entire omnimax movie.

It is near the bottom of the media page. It is a large file for download (something like 46MB)

at the very bottom of the media page they have this file

Horizons Ultimate Tribute
Using 4 video recordings, original music tracks, remastered narration and including the full Omnimax film and all 3 endings. AVI, by Martin Smith

could be just what you are looking for, though it's nearly an hour long and 445MB...

At one time the full loop was on youtube and it looks as if it was source video. I have no idea if it was an imagineer or cast member, but the video disappeared a couple of years ago. It was excellent quality, definitley not filmed on the ride itself.

I'm thinking it was just like the dilhema where a Unversal employee videotpaed the entire film of Back to the Future the Ride (and then was quickly fired).

Martin defnitely makes the best videos, I would recommend checking his stuff out if you haven't in the past. I have like all of his videos on my computer, and his files are HUUUGE but are great for passing the time.

Who is Martin, and where can I find his videos?
