I really dont understand this ride. All I know was that I liked it a whole lot, and I really dont know anyone who will say that they dont enjoy this ride...
It is basically an updated version of the technology used in Universals Back to the Future, so it is really nothing totally groundbreaking or new. The ride has no story what-so-ever. All you get is that youre in an airport getting ready to go on a flight. The flying machine of choice turns out to be a hangglider, and then you see a 5 minute travel video about California. No narration or anything, just random clips while smells are pumped in. And all this was in a Epcot Pavilion about farming.
But add it all up, Soarin is a whole lot of fun. I would have gladly ridden that a few times in a row.
Thinking about it though, I was in the front row of the hangglider, so I was lifted up the highest and furthest over the screen. I imagine the experience would have been a bit different (and not as good) in the last row, but I have yet to ride in the other rows, so I can not say for sure.
