Although rumors have been circling for a while, Disney has today confirmed that there will be an expansion to the Soarin' attraction in Epcot. As rumored, a third theater will be built behind the existing facility, but the screens and projection systems in the current two theaters will also be upgraded to bring "a visually enhanced experience". Although unannounced, a new film is also expected to be released at the same time as these upgrades and expansions go live. The expanded attraction is expected to open in late 2016.
