Reader reviews of Soarin' Over California
Incredible ride, not thrilling by any measure but so beautifully done and almost relaxing ... - Rachelle Beaney I have to admit, I did not think this ride was going to be all that great at first. I had been on motion simulators and I have seen IMAX globe theaters, but I was blown away. The effect is fine tuned perfectly and it will make a believer out of anyone who thinks the ride may be less than exciting. Try to get the front row of seats for the best ride. - Andy B Amazing ride, best of the original attractions in the park. A DCA classic! Must obtain a fasspast as soon as you enter the park, then go to Toy Story Mania and come back. - Erik Avila Very awesome ride, really makes you feel like your flying.... Even though your not on a roller coaster or a thrill ride you might want to avoid or take Dramamine if you are prone to motion sickness! some people that were inline behind me didnt feel so well after.. - April staten one of the best rides @ ca aventure. excellent theming. :D i always get scared 4 some reason on it, like i always do on airplanes. i say "mom, buckle ur seatbelt!" she says 2 "hold my horses" but flying makes me fidgety!! :D its treuely the best way 2 c CA! u go 2 palm springs, yosemite, napa, & @ the end, a spectacular fireworks show @ disneyland!! there's even real orange smells when u fly over all of the orange groves! get a fastpass 4 sure. oh, & the river part of the ride may make ya sea sick. hehe. - Aly W Generates the longest lines in the park and for good reason, it gives the sensation of hang gliding over california. An experience not to be missed, fastpasses are pretty much required for repeat rides. 9/10 - Brett Munyon A wonderful ride. A 10. Feels like your flying over beautiful California scenery. There are some really great views. - Shawn L. Similar to the simulated rides at Universal, Soarin' gives people the illusion of flying while harnessed to rows of seats which elevates to allow people a tiered perspective of the scenery. Personally, I thought this ride was rather tame and lame compared to the Simpsons ride, which does move according to what is shown on screen. Soaring' just slowly weaves, dips and glides over beautiful locations in California. I'll go on the ride a second time only if someone goes with me and really wants to wait in line for it. Otherwise, I'd probably use a Park Hopper ticket and go to somewhere else in Disneyland. - D.S. Francisco A must do if you visit Disney's California Adventure. Be sure to get a fast pass as the lines do get long. - Steven Lee Amazing. Perfection - Kathryn Bonner
