I remember the story Tang told about Pauch when he was little telling his Mom that he flew. I wonder if this is why Soarin' Over California was one of his favorites. Flying is such a magical act. Disney included flying in several of the parks themes in the early days,. the Dumbo ride, Voyage to the Moon and The Rocket Pods. Soaring high above the earth for some is quiet dis-heartening to some but in Soarin' Over California you fellsafe and secure. You feel the cool breeze as you coast through the Redwoods and over mountains. You smell the pines, oranges, and sea air that are truly part of California. I think Walt would have really loved Soanrin' because it takes make believe to a new height! Remeber think a happy thought!
