  • Great video. Framed perfectly.

  • @Aerosmithjoe Thanks. I got lucky.

  • i just came back from orlando and went to epcot and went on this ride get a fast past if you go to the park or you may not get on it was the most amazing ride i will never forget it was like being in a glider soaring above the landscape below i can still see myself on it a once in a lifetime experience

  • this ride is not in da state of florida this ride is really in da state of californaw

  • When I went I got a fastpass for this ride so I really didn't wait that long, but there is no way it's worth waiting more then an hour for.

  • DOES THIS RIDE ACTUALLY LIFT UP OR NOT?

    SOMEONE ANSWER ME, SERIOUSLY.

  • @redcoatleanne Yes Love.

  • @redcoatleanne it lifts up about 10 feet or so. the simulator makes u feel like your up high, very high

  • And this is why Disney parks always dominate in theme park attendance every year. You can go to virtually any park and ride some big,fast, looping coaster that is just like any other big, fast looping coaster,(nothing against them. I love them) but how many parks can you go to and see rides so incredibly well themed as this? They focus on making their rides more of an experiance than, you know, just another ride.

  • Best. Ride. EVER!

  • Does it actually lift up though? How high?

  • @redcoatleanne I have a fear of Heights too and I got over it bc i met a great guy with his daughter and he helped me alot and its the greatest feeling ever. Once u get off , I know you will feel great , dont be so afraid,

  • Does the thing you sit in actually move? Like, I know it's just a simulator but does it tilt forwards and stuff, and also, on the pre-ride video, it showed the seats lifting up, how high do they go? :3

    I have a fear of heights, but it's not normally a problem on simulators because I know i'm not actually high up, so I was wondering. Please answer? D:

  • @redcoatleanne Life is short. Do it. In 4:38 minutes it will be over.

  • @redcoatleanne IF U HAVE A BIG FEAR OF HEIGHTS, BEWARE, OR DO NOT LOOK DOWN. I LOOKED DOWN WHEN I WAS LITTLE AND I ALMOST SHIT MY PANTS IT WAS A LONG WAY DOWN. TIPS: DONT LOOK DOWN AND WEAR SNEAKERS.

  • @redcoatleanne Soarin' is a great experience. Don't let your fears hold you back, live life to the fullest :)

  • Hi best ride went on it 14 times

  • Only 9 more days til' Disney!

  • @monstersdt Have a great time.

  • It didn't if you consider 70 minutes not a long queue. xD

  • Just back from Florida today, loved Disney, love Soarin', hate jetlag.

  • This is my all time favorite Disney ride! Having been many times as a Floridian I highly encourage you to do the Fast Pass. Come back at designated time and there's almost no wait at all.

  • I rode this when I was in Disney World a few months ago!! It was AWESOME!!! I was scared a little when the ride started to go up. I was crying a little bit. But, I got used to it, and loved it. Me, my dad, and little brother we're in the back row. It was SOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!

  • The laugh at the beginning sounds like Ned Flanders. Love this ride so much, easily my favourite at Epcot. Thanks for posting.

  • this ride is amazing just as it is, but if it became Soarin' Over The World with global locations and 3D was added, it would be EXTRAORDINARY!!!!!!

  • Califorina Is So Beautiful!!! Us Califorina People Are So Lucky!

  • @Blaine951 i wish i lived in california but noooo i have to live in canada!!!!

  • august 15th the wait is terrible

  • is this ride any good ;] ?

  • Besides the Great Movie Ride, this is my favorite ride at Disneyworld. It is so amazing. Its feels like you're really there. :) You can feel the wind and smell the pine trees and oranges. It's amazing. There is no other feeling like it. Best. Ride. Ever.

  • 7 more days and we are going back. Love it! this is the best ride in all of Disney. It gives you a feeling of pure Joy and it is the one ride everyone cheers at when it's over! It is just amazing!

  • this was the best ride I've ever been on by far!!

  • OMG! We went on this ride when it was just about to close so we got on it twice and had vertually no wait time! (at the most 3min)! Its awesome!

  • Nobody can take us in flight like Jerry Goldsmith.

  • To me it is the best ride in all of Disney World. I am 36 and have done this ride 8 times in the last 2 years( trips). I get such a feeling of overwhelming joy and happiness when I ride this.  Maybe thankful for everything in my life and glad I live in a free world. It is a goosebump ride for me I know that.

  • this is literally the worst ride i have ever been on. if you like taking naps, this ride is for you. i was expecting the most amazing simulation i have ever seen, but there were no transitions and i could see the peoples feet in the rows in front of me which ruined the entire aura of the ride. i would have rather gone on its a small world and had it break down than go on this garbage ride again. it's just a huge disappointment for all the commotion that was made about it.

  • @cataglottism also the smells, although really nice, would have been a lot better if they were consistent throughout the ride instead of in three frames. it could have been a fantastic ride and made a lot more exciting but lets face it..there are WAY more things that are actually worth a 70 minute wait time..like getting your picture taken with cinderella.

  • @cataglottism well, aren't you a special snowflake. I'm sorry you think it's boring, but what kind of incredibly high expectations do you have for rides? Not everything can be a thrill ride. Enjoy the ride for what it is: a nice, visually stunning and technologically advanced simulation.

  • @marym2011 no its just that everyone talked it up so much and it would have at least been nice to see a coherent, flowing video as opposed to as choppy as it was. disney has always had such an attentiveness for detail and i feel like they were just really careless with this ride. i love a lot of the non-thrill rides there, i just feel like this was not their greatest achievement in the least. they have non-thrills that are a thousand times better and i cant justify a 120 minute wait for this.

  • @cataglottism Wow, you are a spoiled brat.

  • @monstersdt lol having an opinion doesnt make me spoiled! it could have been better! the cinematography was beautiful but the experience is ruined when i have to see two rows of peoples feet hanging in front of the screen. disney is known for its attentiveness to detail and experience and it just lacked here. that's all im saying guys.

  • @cataglottism Fair enough. I always hear young kids I work with "diss" Disney roller coasters because they don't have "Loops" or whatever. I guess I am so happy to be down there when I am able to go that I could ride anything and be ecstatic. However, the first thing I do when I get to Epcot is fast pass Soarin and then hit the Rose and Crown for some martinis. After a few trips around the countries... Soarin rocks!

  • i have done this ride too many times.............. hahaha. You can't get better than that! The games while waiting on the "fun" 2-hr long line were so cool! My team crashed our purple bird into a rock!

  • I'm 38, lived on the east coast majority if my life and I've never been!! 

  • Disney World is the place of your dreams. If you never went as a kid... well you missed the trip of a lifetime. I like the part when your waiting to go on soarin, theres this interactive game thing. My favorite was the bird race! :D

  • "Soarin' is a handgliding simulator that will lift you up in the air and into an imax screen and will make you feel like your flying over california... and its a very gentle ride sorta like a ski lift"

    i miss working here =/

  • niceeeeeeee =)

  • im going here in two days and i have to go on this ride

  • Awesome ride

  • Wow, it's just like the one at California Adventure. People who have lived in California can tell. The Disney scene is at Disneyland.....

  • @goofylu89 there is one in Florida!

  • I'm petrified of heights so this scared me to death to say the least x) The Disney scene was great though!

  • Why dont people understand that all the scenes are from California EVERYSINGLE ONE of them

  • Yes better color and clarity. We love Sorin just like the guy said in your video.

    Check out my Sorin Video by clicking on my name.

  • LMFAO we were like kicking people off there boats and stuff XD and we were like "wow we're in egypt" but like jets i was like WTF? we then said SH*T we're in IRAQ!

  • @kinglord493 This is all in California people get your facts right. This ride was taking exactly from disney california adventures version. of soaning over california .... Everything is california

  • I LOVE THIS RIDE!!!!,its probably the best one out of all the rides in the usa

  • @curtismichael14 We rode it the first time in 2009 and it bumped Pirates of the Caribbean off the top of my list of favorite Disney rides.

  • Soarin = Best ride ever made since the birth of god!

  • The best. Simply the best!

  • i wanna go on this ride high

  • I think there's a hidden mickey in the fireworks. Anyways, I'll be there one month from today!!!! I also play guitar (for 25 years now). Were you born in 68? I was too. November 21st. I checked out your site. Nice fret work I might add.

  • I FLIPPING LOVE THIS RIDE, reccomend it to anyone! I went to Disney in 2008 (I'm from England so it was a rare opportunity) and I fell in love with this, am dying to go back, the smells and feelings you get are AMAZING, this, mission space, expedition everest, test track, rock n roller coaster, and space/splash mountain are by far my favourites, LOVE WALT DISNEY WORLD!

  • i love how it says "best colors and lighting", yet it looks like an 80s movie lol

  • That looks so amazing. I haven't been on it, so yes, I will put it on a list to do before a i die. :) : )

  • this is an amazing ride! iv been 2 wdw 2 many times & i hav ridin this ride ssssooo many times! the best is at the top. EPCOT has the best rides! luv it!

  • boy, didnt this ride have a long queue

    

  • is this a simulator ????????????????

  • @AmiC2798 Yes! It's amazing.

  • @ThorpeParkxxSammiiee deffo goin on it then wen i go next yeer neva been 2 florida yet

  • @AmiC2798 Have an amazing time, I am so jealous!

  • Love, love, LOVE this ride!! It's been at Disneyland for at least a decade now, but it's still my favorite ride in California Adventure! I miss CA since I moved to WI....

  • :( i miss epcot so much

  • Amazing the ride.....I went there 2 years ago, and Epcot is the best park in Orlando

  • Hmm, it is that we got fastpasses for it. It was nice, but wasn't like 'yaaay, it was the best ride.'

  • i just realized there's a hidden mickey in the fireworks!

  • Lol, I rode it last week and I left my 2 cameras there ! Now I can't get them back. ;(

  • I love this ride, I go on again and again when I'm there, can't wait for my next trip!

  • i found the first and second row of seats ok but the third ( and lowest ) you saw the floor and it spoilt the experience

  • this ride is amazing. its the best ride at epcot for sure

  • i love this, and when your waiting you get to play a screen game, its funny, like with your shadows, and i kept thinking something was gonna hit my feet:L

  • I am 66years old and this was the very best ride I have ever been on

  • this ride seems real is you go in front seat. the bad thing is they change the scene!

  • I love the laugh at the beginning. Wa-ha-ha-oohh!

  • I teared up @ the part when they fly over the carrier, I always wanted to be an airforce pilot but, I have bad eye that would not allow me to fly jets. I kinda felt like I was there for a moment, even though it was a naval carrier. Awesome Ride.

  • Awsome Ride

  • this is my favorite ride of all time

  • That ride was amazing. Even though I knew that it was just a ride, it felt pretty real- loads of people kept lifting their legs as if they were going to hit the trees!

  • Amazing ride. Loooooooooooooong line. Even when its dead at Epcot this line is still well over an hour usually, partially because of all the fastpass that they hand out for this ride.

  • I love soarin

  • this was an amazing ride.. one of my favorites at WDW!!! It hits all your senses GREAT RIDE

  • Ive been on this ride 8 times and you never get bored with it.

  • I always Fastpass this as soon as I arrive at EPCOT. Then I go to the pub in the UK.

  • this ride was amazing! especially the orange feild!! it smelled like oranges!

  • this is definitely the best video of soarin' on youtube! thank you for posting it!  i've watched it like 100 times since my vacation there 2 years ago haha

  • My friend went on this we had to take our flip flops off I swear going up felt so good on our feet but we thought we were gonna hit the railing.

  • Amazing state w/ amazing diverse scenery. So proud to be from cali.

  • most overrated ride in the country

  • This ride is amazing! I couldn't believe how basic it was and did not expect it! I thought it was fantastic and if I had to sum America up this would be it! Such an amazing ride!

  • Love this ride, miss it though :( Used to live in FL, now live in AZ. Guess I got to go to CA to ride it!

  • so neat, just made me happy to be alive, and eager to see the world

  • Melhor brinquedo da Disney......the best!!!!!!

  • Amazing ride.

  • yea it realy is, i went on it about a week and a half ago on my senior trip, probably like my 10th time there but first since they built this ride, most amazing ride ive ever been on

  • I love this ride i am in disney now and getting ready to go to epcot so g2g

  • @PrincessCupcake127 so jealous!!!!!! I'd love to be there now!!!!!!

  • love that ride i love the orange scent

  • this is such an amazing ride, i queued for 70 minutes for this ride but it was so worth it!

  • UR BORING!

  • @catCRAAAZY fuck you

  • amazing - did you smell oranges when in the citrus grove and pine trees when they were kayaking down the river? I LOVE this experience - just one week and we go back to WDW!!! Fast pass here we come

  • Have a Great time.

  • @gtrjoe68 I Fastpass this as soon as I get into Epcot. Then it's off to the rose and crown!

  • @irishmom58

    I love this ride, I go on again and again when I'm there, can't wait for my next trip!

  • @irishmom58 God i love that ride. I remember being there at the opening and it took 3 HOURS to get in! It was horrific lol! Amazing ride though :D

  • amazing

  • this is the best ride EVA

  • I Love that ride. I wish I could go back to disney and take it again

  • 3:23 is san digo baybeeeeee :]

  • Comment removed

  • they should call it soarin over california like the 1 at california adventure in anaheim cuz its the same EXACT thing

  • best ride ever lovely music just totally relaxing all together

  • This ride is awesome! I can't wait until we go again. We're going at the end of Jan.

  • lucky!!

  • that looks amazing , i didnt go to epcot :( but i hope next time i go i will go to epcot , do you move in this ride at all ? or do you stay still?

  • I can't explain it, but this vid does not do it justice. Hope you have a lot of fun.

  • Right - just experienced Soarin' for the first time during the holidays - there's really no way to capture the experience no matter how good your camera is.

    It's really well done. It's a simulator ride for people who don't like simulator rides. I normally get queasy on them, didn't have any problem with Soarin'.

  • you move up to a huge projection screen and thts it

  • @SalemSaxophone8

    its much more then that

  • @valkrider93

    oh i know it is i was just answering disneylove221's question.....its arguably the best ride at EPCOT

  • @SalemSaxophone8

    Agreed

  • @disneylove221 you don't move, but it really feels like you're moving, and as been said before, you can smell it, and feel the breeze, its awesome :) but not recommended for people scared of heights!!

  • @disneylove221 The seats move out and up to get you in place where your feet are off the floor for a more authentic hang gliding experience, it kind of feels like an elevator (a real one, not the Tower of Terror elevator). Once you are in place the glider leans back and sideways along with the movie to make you feel like you are flying. Then it moves you back down when the movie is done. It's all very gentle. That is the extent of the vehicle movement.

  • @disneylove221 It's like a simulater, you don't really move, but its a great ride nonetheless :)

  • @disneylove221 You move a bit, but still the big screen gives the best of the illusion.

  • @disneylove221 Its like if you have ever rode back to the future at Universal or Starr wars in disney world at Hollywood studios it is amazing it feels like your there!

  • @disneylove221 Not exactly. It's hard to explain. You sit in suspended chairs and buckle in, and the rows of chairs move so that everone can see the screen and is suspended above the ground. Then, the seats tilt with the screen so you feel as though you are truly hang-gliding through California. My description doesn't do it justice; this ride is a BLAST!!! But be sure to get there super-early to fastpass it and bring a book or two; even the fastpass line is LONG!

  • @disneylove221 you stay still basically, but it's so realistic that when the mountains came up I lifted my feet as if it was going to hit me :P

  • Does somebody know the name of a part of the music of the exit queue il florida ( this ong sounds like a chorus or severals vocalists signing an hymn or something like that ) . If someone knows something about this music, it will be really nice to let me know :D

    Thanks in advance and have a nice day!!

  • when i get to go at the end of april till a few days in may i will recommend it to my group. im in the marching band in my school and my directors planned a trip here to be in a parade. soarin was my absolute favorite ride and i will try to convince my group to go on it.

  • This is my absolute favorite ride in all of Disney World (including Universal). Notice how Disney appeals to your sense of sight and sound (and on this ride smell as well!)? I'm going there tomorrow and will get on this ride as many times as possible.

  • Thanks for posting this. Very nice job. This is my fav thing at Epcot. I'll wait no matter how long the line is!

  • i loved this ride. went on it about...4 times? not in a row though the line's way to long to do that lol.

  • great ride, but the queue is over 2 hours long

  • you gotta know how to work it!!

  • FASTPASS!!! Gotta love it

  • the oranges sure smells real

  • soarin is completely MAGICAL *-*

  • I LOVE this ride!

  • Awesome, Thank you.

  • soarin i love this one i reded it 3 days  ago amazing aromas love it

  • when i was on this the golfball gave me a heart attack!!! but it was so awesome!

  • so how long is the line?

  • depends on when you get there. I got there really early so I was on the first ride. but as I passed the line on the way out...it was already maybe a 2 hour wait?

  • LOVED this ride so much!!! It felt amazing.

  • Be there in 2 weeks!!!

  • I'll be on this in 5 days!!!!

  • That Fireworks at 4:25 is a perfect Hidden Mickey... ;o)

  • If you've never been on this ride before, put it on your "things to do before you die" list. Seriously. It's that amazing.

  • lolol. i love this ride.its beautiful. but this why they tell you to not take video cameras on the ride X] nice.
