Disney California Adventure will update the Eiffel Tower scene in Soarin’ Around the World in the coming weeks, according to Disneyland officials.

Soarin’ Around the World briefly returned for about a week in late April after a two-month run as Soarin’ Over California during DCA’s Food & Wine Festival before closing for a short refurbishment on April 28.
The Eiffel Tower scene will not be updated when Soarin’ Around the World reopens on Friday, May 2 — but the fix should happen in the next few weeks.

The Eiffel Tower update coming to DCA will mirror changes made in November to Epcot’s version of the Soarin’ flight simulator ride, according to Nexstar theme park reporter Scott Gustin.
Epcot’s Soarin’ ride was updated to reflect changes made during recent renovations to the entrance of the Florida theme park.
The updated Eiffel Tower scene will give Soarin’ riders a longer and more detailed view of Paris and the Seine River.
The sharper and clearer new scene featuring the Paris landmark starts farther away from the Eiffel Tower with a straightened view of the monument, according to WDW News Today. The previous version of the Eiffel Tower always looked crooked due to the curvature of the Soarin’ screen, according to WDWNT.

Before the draft, the argument could have been made that the Niners’ only starting caliber defensive linemen was Nick Bosa. So, it was expected and made quite a bit of sense when the…
