It was never a question of keeping the ride intact, that's a given, I was just hoping they properly digitize it while keeping the integrity of the original Omnimax film.
I definitely think they'll do what Simpsons has. Scan and clean the original Soarin' negative in its full resolution, chop it up into four 4K quadrants, and then use four (or maybe more) 4K projectors to stitch it together on the screen to keep the resolution in tact. If they do it this way and properly clean up the film for the digitizing, it'll be an absolutely stunning presentation.
I just also hope that they use the brightest possible 4K projectors available in the industry, as the Sony ones used in Simpsons are almost like beta-4K projectors, very dim.
