Soarin’ Around the World Takes Flight This Summer at Disney California Adventure Park

New Flight Plan for Popular Attraction: New Soarin’ Takes Passengers on an Aerial Adventure to Scenic Wonders of Our World

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Soarin’ Around the World, a new experience based on the original Soarin’ Over California attraction at Disney California Adventure, begins taking guests on a global journey on June 17 at the Disneyland Resort.

The latest airborne adventure offers breathtaking scenes from locations around the world: over the snowy peak of the Matterhorn, along the Great Wall of China, through the majestic buttes of Monument Valley, hopping over the top of the Great Pyramids of Egypt, and across spectacular Sydney Harbour.

The new experience premieres just after the attraction’s world debut at the Shanghai Disney Resort.

As the next generation of Soarin’, Soarin’ Around the World is an exhilarating aerial adventure that immerses guests in a multi-sensory experience, complete with stunning sights, spectacular sounds and even subtle scents.

Guests won’t just see these gorgeous landscapes with their eyes. They’ll use all their senses to feel, smell and hear the world through this thrilling experience that could only be created by Disney.

Employing high-definition, laser-projected footage and innovative motion-based ride technology, all developed by Walt Disney Imagineering, Soarin’ Around the World lifts 87 guests at a time 40 feet aloft into an 80-foot projection screen dome. The effect is that guests’ entire field of vision is filled with panoramic beauty, giving them the sensation that they are actually flying over the globe’s grand landmarks, natural and manmade.

Soarin’ Around the World is also enhanced by its majestic musical score, composed by Bruce Broughton, based on the original Soarin’ score by the late film and television composer Jerry Goldsmith, and performed by the London Studio Orchestra.

In Shanghai the attraction goes by a different name, Soaring Over the Horizon, to better fit its location in Adventure Isle at Shanghai Disneyland with its spirit of exploration and discovery. Soarin’ Around the World will also thrill Epcot guests at Walt Disney World Resort beginning June 17.
