It’s known that Soarin’ at Epcot is going to be getting a third theater and also will be getting a new film as it branded to Soarin’ Around the World, but when is this happening? Now, we know the closing date and reopening time for the popular attraction, and it’s quite a long time.
Last year, it was revealed that Soarin’ would be expanded with a third theater and a new film. It was revealed that the new attraction would be called “Soarin’ Around the World” and be geared toward whichever park Guests were in.
The official Walt Disney website has put up notice that Soarin’ will be closing for refurbishment on Jan. 4, 2016, and reopening “in the summer of 2016.”
No, there isn’t an exact date, but be prepared for around a six-month closure.
Take flight and feel the wind through your hair as you fly above breathtaking vistas of California.
Soarin’ will close for refurbishment beginning January 4, 2016 and shall reopen in the summer of 2016.
Once an exact reopening date is known, Doctor Disney will bring it to you.
Please remember that dates are subject to change and can do so without any notice. Please note that this information has been taken directly from the Walt Disney World refurbishment calendar, but things do change at any time and it could start earlier again or be pushed back.

Great, just as I get ready to go…never been on the ride. Wasn’t there in 1989 and when I finally get to go in 2016, closed!
I don’t understand closing the whole ride. Epcot does not have many thrills going for it anyway. Why completely close one of the best? If I was managing it…. I would get theater 3 done and opened… close theater 1 to install new film equipment but keep the old school #2 theater open ….. then close theater 2 to install updates and then….. all 3 up and running. Lines may be long but guests would still have a chance to ride one of the versions of Soarin. Some people save and plan for YEARS to go to WDW and it stinks for one of the best to be closed for so ling. Have a heart Disney…. Walt would not have thought this closing wise!!!!!
I wish I knew exactly when it will open in summer 2016 I will be going the end of July I hope it’s open I only rode it once back 2009 and it was great. I don’t know when I can go again. Because it takes a lot of money to go. So disney please have it ready by the end of July for my family my children hasn’t never experienced the ride.
