Disney has shared new details about Soarin' Across America, including the new locations guests will soar above when the film debuts at EPCOT on May 26.

The new version of Soarin', which arrives in time for the United States' 250th anniversary, will feature scenes that showcase iconic places around the country.

Guests will travel across natural wonders and cityscapes. The new scenes feature New York Harbor, the New England coast, Grand Canyon West, the shores of the Hawaiian islands, the bayous, the great plains in the west and Mount Rushmore.  

"Each scene helps to create a portrait of what we believe makes America so special," said Tom Fitzgerald, creative director and chief storytelling executive with Walt Disney Imagineering. "It's a tapestry of urban wonders, natural beauty, and iconic locations that celebrate the spirit of the nation and the 250th anniversary of the United States."

The attraction will still have wind and other effects bring the scenes to life.

It will also have a new musical arrangement to accompany the scenes. Composer Bruce Broughton will arrange a new version of the original Soarin' score by Jerry Goldsmith, according to Disney.
