Soarin' Over Britain



Soarin' Over Britain is a simulator attraction at Disneyland London Resort. The ride employs a mechanical lift system, a film presentation on a large concave projection screen, and at certain points artificial scents to simulate flight via a hang glider ride over several Britain landmarks. The ride's soundtrack was written by Jerry Goldsmith.

Attraction
Soarin' Over Britain is one of the most popular attractions at Disneyland London Resort and usually has wait times ranging from 30 to 150 minutes. However, the attraction is tied into the park's  FASTPASS system, allowing guests the option of bypassing a long wait.

The attraction, which lasts about four minutes and 51 seconds, takes 87 guests at a time on a simulated hang glider tour of Britain, flying over the Millennium Bridge, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Catherdial, River Thames, Hyde Park, White Cliffs of Dover, Buckingham Palace and Disneyland London itself. The last few scenes transition from daytime to dusk and then to night, culminating in Disneyland London's fireworks surrounding the riders in the nighttime sky.
