About
Take to the skies in this exhilerating and breathtaking flight simulation. Guests board a unique seating device that lifts them up in the air and toward a giant, IMAX-like screen. While giant images of beautiful scenery of California are shown, the ride moves very gently, giving the sensation that you are in a hanglider. The ride has a relaxed feel, and guests experience the sensation of flight without the dangerous thrill of more intense rides. Unless you have an intense fear of flight or motion sickness, this is a must ride.
Tips and Trivia
- This is an extremely popular ride (possibly the most popular at Epcot). Lines tend to be very long. Grab a FastPass right when you get to Epcot to avoid the waits.
- This ride first opened in Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, CA. While the ride is exactly the same, it's called Soarin' Over California in its Disneyland incarnation.
