Absolutely love this ride, especially with hurt feet from walking all day. The sights and sounds (and smells) are amazing...very good show and very fun.

Pros:

Awesome views, very smooth and fun

Cons:

Long wait times but not bad with a LL

The only reason I'm giving this a 9 and not a 10 is because soarin' over california is a bit better I think. You don't go very high technically but you feel like you do so be careful if you have a fear of heights.

Pros:

Incredible ride system and experience.

Cons:

some seats are better than other (towards the sides some things look curved or stretched)

One of my favorite rides on property. It holds a special place in many Disney fan's hearts. It captures the wonders of the world in a fresh and breathtaking way.

Pros:

Stunning effects, cool ride system, original idea

Cons:

Camera angles and effects can be wonky based on where you sit. Lines can be long and extensive. Relatively hard to access.

Tucked away in the Land Pavilion along with Living with the Land, this groundbreaking ride takes you on a journey around the world. Literally. As you take a seat in your hang glider, you rise 79 feet as your feet dangle above deserts, oceans, polar bears, pyramids, and end off back where you became in a beautiful nighttime firework show, this ride does not disappoint. Except in one situation. If you are not sitting in the top row, other feet might obstruct your view and ruin the authenticity of the ride experience. This ride will also play with your senses, making you smell dust and other materials from around the world, make you feel colder or warmer, and instantly transforms you from EPCOT to China or Egypt or The Arctic.

Pros:

Realistic Experience Sensory Details

Cons:

Other Feet Can Obstruct Your View Long Lines

Just a couple issues. The seat belt has a piece to make it smaller for kids. My glasses were fogging over from the mask and I panicked a little, fortunately the person next to me fixed it. I think if I had taken a Dramamine I wouldn’t have had any motion sickness. Otherwise I enjoyed it!

Pros:

Great concept

Cons:

Made me a little motion sick; seat belt may need adjusted

Fun, beautiful, good length ride.

None
