Absolutely worth doing, but not as good as the original. The perspective is wonky to the point where the Eiffel Tower looks sort of like a letter C unless you are seated right in the center. Still the visuals are awesome and the transitions between the scenes are very well done and that sensation of almost flying is still there. I just wish they had done a better job getting the perspective right.

This ride is amazing to look at different landmarks around the world. The mechanic of making you up in the air is cool, as it feels like you are flying around the world to different landmarks. This ride is probably one of my favourites in Epcot.

Really cool ride to check out while in Epcot. It has the feeling of being old but also futuristic as well. Yout get to see some really amazing images as your soar around.

One of the best rides in Epcot Center the sensory overload was very very cool. This place is truly magical. Sight, sound and smell were all manufactured. I highly recommend this experience.

Amazing experience, if you are not afraid of heights and not suffer from vertigo, you are absolutely going to love it.

One of the best ride in the park. We were twice and did not regret that we went again. Best time to ride after lunch time, because you will encounter large queues for ride in a first half of day. Also I recommend use second (middle) door and first row for the best impressions.

This HAS to be the bast ride in Epcot. the CGI was great. The 70 minute wait felt only like 45 real minuets. They over exaggerate the wait times and the queue and interactive stuff that you can do off your phone like a fun trivia game for land marks around the world! It is a MUST DO in Epcot!

Such a fun place to enjoy and create memories with your family. They have awesome themed rides, amazing eateries, easy access into the park, great shopping experience, and kiosks with rare Disney collectibles. EPCOT has so much to do! Our favorite times there we’re spending time in the World Showcase & the Soarin’ ride (it’s well worth the wait). If you’re looking for collectibles from all over the world, visit the World Showcase shops and kiosks. We purchased so many neat items that will be enjoyed for years to come. If you’re ever on the Disney Property I highly recommend visiting EPCOT!

Too much CGI. As soon as I noticed the computer graphics, it took me out of the moment. Its beautiful and well executed, but these are stunning visuals that stand well on their own. They dont need computer graphics or additions to make them more extraordinary. If you have never been on this, I still recommend it, but I will likely not ride again.

Pretty much the EXACT same ride as Avatar flight of passage. The difference being this ride you are sitting up with photo realistic scenery vs crouched over flying through the imaginary scenery of Pandora. However, I believe both are fake scenes, at least partially. This ride feels more like you are flying than Avatar.

The best row to get is B1. Row 3 is low, and sections A and C are not as good due to the sharp curvature of the screen, unlike Flight of Passage over at DAK. They will give this to you upon request. Concourse A and B, the original theaters, are better because you cannot hear the scent spraying out of the nozzles, which is very loud in concourse C. If you go in the evening, the line should be short. If it says 15-25 (typically in the evenings), that means you can normally walk all the way to the separation of the queue for the different concourses (waiting 3-4 rides from that point). You will not get shorter than that.

Excellent ride. A little old now but still a lot of fun. If they’d change the trip every 2 or 3 years that would be awesome. One of the better rides at Epcot.

One of the more enjoyable rides in the park though kind of short considering the lines can be approaching two hours at times. Fast pass is a must. This park needs more attractions in general. Having been here some two dozen times its difficult to find much of interest.

Soarin’ is a delightful calm experience gliding over many natural wonders. The experience is mind blowing. The lines are normally long so we always get a fast pass. Today however the lines were not very long only a 30 minute on standby so we rode a second time.

Youre on a chair that goes up in the air in front of a HUGE screen. The video is a tour of the world, showing many famous places around the world. With the rotating/tilting flying seats and light wind being blown in at you, it really feels like youre flying. The only downside is that, even with a fast pass, the line is really long, which is why it got a 4/5.

Great ride! Fun seeing Patrick Warburton. Try to sit in the top row (row 3) so youre not seeing dangling feet during the ride. The line is usually long but its worth it. Not scary at all. You feel like youre flying but its not jarring.

It relaxing but stimulating ride. It is a ride for all ages. It takes you around the world showing some of the wonders of the world. It hits the senses of smell, sight and sound. Its also great for when it is hot. Plus with the Disney Play app you can play trivia while you are in line.

This is by far one of the best rides Disney World has to offer, it takes you around the world like nothing you would have experienced before, this is fun for all the family an absolute must, if like my family you will want to do it again and again, it really is that great.

Soarin Around the World, I wish there was more to this attraction, feels short and ends abruptly. The attraction could easily feature some more dips and turns to make the attraction more enjoyable. Maybe make 2 zones like Mission: SPACE? One that has this basic movement, then another thats more intense that has the more turns and dips.

This used to be my favourite ride when it was over California, the upgrade to Around The World is disappointing and it has lost its magic. Who wants to smell dirt thrown by GCI elephants? The scenes are bent out of shape, check out the wonky Eiffel Tower!

Soarin is sensational. The upgraded Soarin experience really gives you a feeling that youre hang gliding all over the world. It is packed with so much fun that I wish the glide would last twice as long.

This attraction is one ofy favorites at Epcot! The whole family liked it, and it is fun time and time again!The fast pass doesnt really get you there much faster, so stick it out in the line.Line 1 puts you in the front at the lowest level!

Fun ride not too intense but does give you a sense of height.

The absolutely best ride in Epcot, thrilling experience!!!

GREAT ride. Very cool inside. Great to get out of the blazing sun

Best ride ever with the best soundtrack, even the queue is made fun

Loved it - Soarin was slightly intense for our 6 year old. But he said he still liked it. Just did not want to do it again after!

Fun adventure around the world. Patrick Warburton leads the introduction. Places visited are great exemplars of things one would wish to visit.

I HAD TO WAIT IN THE LONGEST LINE OF MY LIFE

Best ride at Epcot. Just do it!

This was one of my favorite parts of Epcot and this ride was amazing. Especially how the sense of smell was added to make it so incredibly REAL!This is what I call adventure and entertainment for everyone of all ages!

A very cool ride can be a long wait but it is worth it. As long as it anit no 2 hour wait cause that is ridiculous.

Ride is awesome. Can feel.the wind and smell the smells! Family loved it

You feel like your right in every area of the world you fly into.Another amazing ride by Disney.

This is one of the favorites for me (as for many other people). We waited for like 90 minutes..was totally worth the wait, this was a inspiring ride and very entertaining.

It was fun, but the curved screen kind of took me out of the moment at times.

A part of me will always miss Soarin Over California. Yet, either way, this ride is incredible and feels so freeing!

This is by far my favorite attraction at Epcot. My daughter (5 year old at the time) loved it too. It is spectacular and worth the wait. Wish the ride was longer as it is that great. YouTube videos dont do it justice.

Best attraction in Epcot in my opinion period! I love that theyve updated it even from when I went a couple years ago, So it keeps on fresh. You feel like youre actually gliding through the views and the special effects just make it. The smells just make your day enjoyable, I think its worth the wait.

This was my favorite attraction in all of the parks. It just makes you forget about everything else.Its a 4D experience you wont forget.

Very interesting ride. Highly recommended.Indoor flight simulator kind.Take you around the famous land marks. Breath taking.

Be prepared to feel like youre soarin across the globe. Amazing experience!

Since the last time I was here its still one of the best attraction at Epcot. Seems like you are really soaring above land. If you ever make a stop at Epcot this is one of those attractions that is a must visit.

Soarin’ is one of our top must do rides at WDW. It’s one of three at Epcot that we always try to get Fast Passes for. We liked both the original American Adventure flight and the current World flight. We love the details, like the smell of the surf as you cruise over an ocean. The top row of the ride is the best because you don’t see the other riders below you. This helps suspend the sense that it’s a ride and Not an actual hang glider. Beware though that on the top row the screen is rounded slightly, causing a minor warping of scenery. Sort of like a cat’s eye effect. Definitely worth a wait if you have to go through the Stand-by line. Try going first thing in the morning to avoid the longest lines.

Pretty decent ride, we were lucky enough to come right before closing so the wait time was short. The ride gets loaded with pretty big groups so it does go through quickly. The ride itself does give you some beautiful views of places throughout the world which is in line with Epcots theme.

This ride, no matter how many times you ride it, is always fun. From the beautiful scenery all the way to just the wonderful scents they pump into the room to really make the ride even more real. Its a great 10/10 recommended experience to try!

This was my favorite at Epcot. It was simply amazing. We saw so many scenes and it seemed so real. Absolutely beautiful scenes from around the world.

Great attraction. Immersive simulation of a low level flight around the world complete with sights, sounds and smells.

Best ride in this park. We did it 7 times last trip and couple of times the recent trip. It’s amazing if you get right spot. Ask the operator to be in the middle section to get best experience. If you are on either side then you will see curved images. This was our all time favorite until we did Avatar ride in animal kingdom.

First did this ride four years ago and loved it then. The updated world flight is even better

Time was a bear even in February. But I enjoyed the sensation of flying.

This is a great attraction and is breathtaking to be on this is a must do in Epcot just maven don’t ride if you have a fear of heights

Excellent experience. Sights smells and atmosphere unforgettable

This ride is amazing and awesome, if you look closely next time you are on this ride, you could see a hidden Mickey. And yes, they are real. The wait times for this ride is never bad at all. The line always keeps moving. The ride is also clean and the waiting queue is really clean.

What a great experience for even the younger children 3+ A fabulous simulator of flight around the world with 4D smells. The Lands End Lounge has a seating area with device charging stations, bring your wires!

One can try and describe it in words but it is absolutely amazing. If you have a fear of heights you may want to sit this one out or decide to get over that fear for this experience. You are elevated, stories high in a long row of seats and the seats move slightly with whatever your experiencing on the screen. It feels so real, the smells, the wind and the way you feel as if you are literally soaring over the different places is magical.

Definitely one of the best rides in all of the Disney parks. You genuinely feel like youre flying around the world.

Have road it alot of times over the years.Theme changes and it is a must ride and a spectacular one !!!

Amazing experience. The visuals along with the sensory experience was our favorite!!!!

Great ride that has been recently updated. Definitely worth it if you have a fast pass. Sometimes the line can get really long. However they do have a trivia game you can play while in line, which is nice.

One of the most relapsed invigorating rides imaginable. Love the sights , senses of this creature ride. Get in the park early and do this ride first then use your fast passes for something else.

A delight. It could stand to be a little longer, but the visuals are exceptional and up to date.

Wasnt that amazing, video was grainy, world be better if you were lying down like on a glider and there were temperature changes

We love this experience! It not only feels real, it is beautiful.

One of my favorite rides... So amazing... The 90 minute wait is worth it

My first ever ride experience at Walt Disney World so it will always have a special flare for me. The ride itself is best experienced from a seat in the center due simply to the curved screen the video is projected on, causing seating on the ends to have a somewhat warped view. The ride takes you around the world as you soar over landmarks and landscapes. It is a 4D experience which means you will be able to feel the rush of air as you soar and also smell the dirt of the safari view, the jasmine of the Taj Mahal etc. The ride is always popular so you will certainly want to look for a fastpass in order to avoid long waits. And remember, look for a spot in the center!

My favorite ride at Epcot! Beautiful sights, sounds, and smells. It feels like you are actually flying as you soar over the cool locations around the world. My 3 and 6 year old kids were a little scared due to how realistic it is and the occasional fast moving bird or building coming towards you.

One of the best rides in Epcot, if not in the whole WDW park. Come early or get a fast-pass. Its very popular.

Spectacular if the wait wasnt so long I would ride it over and over again

One of my top 3 favorite rides out of all of the parks at Disney World.

What can I say. This ride at Disney world is amazing. It has such a realistic view and sense to it. Me and my boyfriend rode it as many times as we could.

This is a very well done ride and the kids absolutely love it. For my for year old it was the first time and she came out beaming about flying. The lines can be long but worth it. The ride itself is a simulation of flying over various areas with dips and climbs similar to a bird flight. Very smooth and no concerns for motion sickness or vertigo.

It was a really fun ride. It had different scents and it felt like you were actually at those places

Its nice if you dont sit near the edges, but if you do, its a huge waste of time. Its unacceptable that they would have bad seats.

One of the few rides I’d say you have to try when visiting Disney.

Excellent ride, great visuals, but I think the original California version was a bit better.

This is the top ride available at Epcot. Its a motion simulator that flies you over various world landmarks. You sit in a virtual hangglider and the ride tilts you in synchronization with the screen to make it feel like youre flying. They also pump different scents into the room to make it just that much more realistic. Try to get a fast pass or head here first. Theres not a lot of rides at Epcot and this can have long lines all day.

It was good. Not as good as the one in Disney Land. All 3 persons in our party reported the images having been distorted and crooked. Would not ride it again.

Very cool ride but gives me some motion sickness.

A very nice experience indeed!

Awesome ride! If you are scared of heights, I do not recommend. Even though you are not up that high, you feel like you are a bird Soarin through the world!! Amazing experience.

Cool ride its like the prototype for Avatar Flight of Passage

If there is any ride that you MUST do in Epcot, it is Soarin. Simply an awesome experience.

I want to live here so beautiful.

BEST ride at Disney World! The original Soarin was amazing, the change to Soarin Around the World truly takes you on what feels like a flight around the world - to many of the must see places that people know about, and probably a few that most people might not think of.

Went on this several times. Was exciting

Oh my goodness, awesome.Cant wait to ride again..

This is the most realistic simulator I have ever been on. It was cool to feel like I was soaring 30K feet above the world. They had every detail down to the smell of grass and sea water in the building to add to the experience. I cannot wait to do this ride again.

It truly feels like youre flying. The scenes are breathtaking. Truly amazing. Great for about any age. 1 of my favorite attractions.

Very fun and the smells were tasty

Itt was so awesome. only 15 minutes waits both times we went on!5 stars 10/10 review so freakin awesome

This ride has you sit in a row of seats that are grouped in three rows and you are then taken as though you are flying throughout various countries in the world but you are actually static and its just the screen that change a although your senses make it feel as though you are moving. You feel as though you are flying over mountains, the Arctic, African prairies as well as some well known heritage places and famous cities. As long as you dont have a fear of heights then this place is recommended as the ride was very enjoyable

Best ride ever! I have always loved this ride at Disneyland but wow! This one absolutely took my breath away! Definitely recommend going with easy to remove shoes so you can feel the wind on your feet and get the full gliding experience.

One of my favorite rides ever! I do miss Soaring California! I think it was better!

Really fun ride, restraints may need to be redesigned

This ride was amazing, I was unsure about it as I really felt that I was flying. My granddaughter lived it . When wego back we will have our fast passes booked.

Had a great time on third ride. It was like youre actually gliding thru the skies

Youll float through the sky looking down at some of the most beautiful sights the world has to offer in this delightful ride thats fun for all ages. The wind kisses your face and incredible smells fill your nose as you fly from country to country, land to land, witnessing the grandeur of the planet. Ask to be placed on top, in the middle for the best experience. There can be some distortion of the visuals at the sides.

Really enjoyable ride. Thrilling simulation without such violent motion as to cause much motion sickness. Amazing effects. A favorite. Children loved it.

Love Soarin
