Description:
Soarin' Over California allows guests to get a bird's eye glimpse at the Golden State. From the state's scenic cities such as San Francisco to its natural wonders, guests get an extremely close and exhilarating view from their hang glider perch. At some points the glider feels as though it is going to throw guests right into the middle of a scene. In some instances it flies so close to the scene that Guests get a whiff of a scent correlating to the scene, whether it be Redwood trees along a river or a Southern California orange field. This interactive attraction with excellent special effects gives Guests the true sensation of "soarin'" over the Golden State, and is complete with a special surprise at the end.
