It mentions breakfast right there under the Jack Hannah thing and the Elmo one.

^Interesting. Seems there are two dining pages, one of which doesn't mention the Elmo breakfast: http://www.buschgardens.com/bgw/Explore/Restaurants.aspx (you have to scroll down and click on "Dine at Castle O'Sullivan).

It will be interesting to see how they manage to change up Corkscrew Hill. Will they change the queue? New screens? New ride platforms?

Hopefully this will be an upgrade from Corkscrew Hill.

This definitely sounds like Soarin' but with a European flare...I think this will be a great addition to BGE's Ireland!

I thought Corkscrew Hill was okay, but it would have nothing on a simulator ride through Europe...especially over Neuschwanstein Castle.

I wondered what all those hang-gliders experienced when I saw them flying over the castle last October. Perhaps I will get to experience a similar trip without having to worry about plunging 2000 feet to my death!

Epcot needs to do this with their version of Soarin'.

So long, Corkscrew Hill, it was fun while it lasted!

This is excellent news and the new simulator is the perfect addition for this park. The Soarin'-like theme sounds like it will be much better than the lame one of Corkscrew Hill. I am glad I rode that thing during Christmas Town though, since it was a fun ride, just not a good storyline.

I wonder if this means anything for the simulator at Busch Gardens Tampa. How long has that thing been sitting there now? Maybe it could get a Soarin over Africa type film.

[Philrad71Don't put that donkey on the floor!]

^ Is that the simulator that is Pirates 4-D that used to be R.L Stein's Haunted Lighthouse that used to be the Dolphin Theater back in the day?

While Leslie Nielson might have rocked in 'Airplane', by the time I experienced Pirates 4-D I was just about sick of attractions with 3-D glasses and getting wet with mist and water spray.

Bring on Soarin' over Africa hosted by David Puddy!

[jray21Why do I still have a donkey title???]

So i've heard a lot of Soarin' comparisons. Will this attraction be a close copy to Soarin', or is it just a reference to it being a motion simulator? I'm just wondering if it's one of those simulators you find in an arcade (Looks like a small spaceship), a 3-D movie theater simulator (Like Days of thunder, or that old dinosaur 3-D at SFDK), or like Soarin'. I haven't been to that park for about 20 years so I have no clue.
