Soarin' is a flying theater in The Land pavilion of EPCOT's World Nature area. Riders sit on multi-passenger hang-glider rows that are lifted in front of a large domed screen, giving the feeling of flying over the scenery shown in the film.
History
The attraction opened on May 5, 2005. It was designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, with the ride system built by Dynamic Structures. A third theater was added in 2016, when the film Soarin' Around the World replaced the original. Disney has since shown other films in the theaters. A ride lasts just under five minutes.
