The Blonde Diaries

Man today has been a long day at work. I am still here and having dinner and thought now would be the perfect time to start my new series. Soarin’ debuted at Disney’s California Adventure and then was opened in EPCOT at Walt Disney World a few years later in 2005. It is located in the Land Pavilion and allows you to simulate hang gliding over California. It is a tad out of place in WDW according to some fans but I enjoyed it nevertheless. It is a fun ride for all age groups but there are a few things you should watch out for: You sit in a “hang glider” and you really are lifted off the ground and suspended in the air. If you are afraid of heights this might not be your thing but if you don’t look down and wear your seat belt you should be ok. It also starts out a tad dark so if you have someone afraid of the dark warn them that it doesn’t last too long. Once the ride starts you really forget about everything and are in awe of what is going on.

Here is a video of the ride courtesy of a YouTuber. It does have sound and is a tad long because it shows preshow and the entire video. If you don’t want the ride to be spoiled I would stop once the preshow is over. This should give you an excellent idea of the ride and what to expect. Enjoy!
