Disneyland Resort is Quietly Fixing the Infamous Curved Eiffel Tower Scene in Soarin’ at Disney California Adventure
Years of ridicule over the warped Paris scene has finally led to a fix as Disney Imagineering will update the Eiffel Tower in Soarin’ Around the World at Disney California Adventure.
For years, one of Disneyland’s most talked-about visual oddities hasn’t come from a mischievous animatronic or a breakdown on Rise of the Resistance—it’s been the Eiffel Tower itself. The iconic Parisian landmark, featured in Soarin’ Around the World, has long appeared unnaturally curved when viewed from the sides of the theater. Now, Disney has finally decided to straighten things out—literally.

Guests aboard the Disney Wish were met with an unwelcome surprise during the ship’s April 21 voyage — the rollout of a virtual queue system for popular onboard experiences. Using the Disney Cruise Line’s Navigator app, passengers were encouraged to reserve times for character meet-and-greets and rides like the AquaMouse water coaster. Access to the app is complimentary even without a paid Wi-Fi package, but that doesn’t make the move any less controversial.
