Soarin', Flight simulator ride at Disney California Adventure, United States

Soarin' is a flight simulator at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, California, where visitors sit in specialized seats beneath a domed projection screen. The seats lift and tilt gently to match the motion of the images, creating the feeling of gliding through different locations shown on the curved surface above.

The attraction opened in February 2001 during the inaugural season of Disney California Adventure. The original film focused exclusively on California locations and was later replaced with footage showing destinations around the world.

The name echoes the ride's premise: guests hang beneath a wing-like canopy with feet dangling, lifted toward an 80 ft concave dome. The California version queues past the Wings of Fame, honouring aviators from Amelia Earhart to Chuck Yeager, while a pre-boarding video is hosted by Patrick Warburton as chief flight attendant.

Visitors should place small belongings in the pouches beneath their seats before the ride begins. Arriving around 40 minutes before the park closes usually allows enough time to experience the attraction without extended waits.

The ride vehicles were redesigned by engineer Mark Sumner using an Erector Set and string, allowing guests to board on one level instead of three and cutting construction costs. The original concept, called Ultra Flight, can still be seen on the tower consoles at Disney California Adventure.
