If you want to go on multiple times I would recommend 1) getting FastPass + for middle of the day 2) go straight here when you get to park 3) go at end of the night.

Danny Alvarez

It's a fun ride, but if you're afraid if heights, I wouldn't ride it! You sit in one of three rows which rise to 30, 40 or 50 feet and then you sit in the air and watch a screen. It feels real!

Christina Betterley

Best spot?? Concourse B, middle row. If you sit in the front row you can see the top of the screen, if you sit in the back row, you can see the floor and it kills the feel of the ride.

Ayaz Hyder

If you are here on an extended hour night & are staying at Disney resort , get here quickly after "Illumination". There will most likely be no line . Could've easily kept going on until close.

Missi Howell

The new "Soarin'" is awesome and cannot be missed! They have added new "terminals" to help keep up with demand and have the ride open later than 7 pm now.

Laur Lo Ski

Possibly one of my favorite rides... I can't believe I never did it the last time we visited. Basically lifts you up and you get a 3D Arial view of the world. Really really cool!

Thom James

You simply have to experience Soarin’. Just a wonderful experience from start to end. Good for kids , it’s a wonderful ride with thrills and adventure without being hurtled around at lightning speed.

Slightly Perfect

TOTALLY REDONE! The audio-visual content is even better than before, and the scents! The scents are beautiful and realistic, especially when you fly over the Taj Mahal.

Luis R

Awesome ride for first time visitors and if you get seated on the center roll... It will get old if you come often as there is only one movie playing, not ideal if you seat on the side rolls...

Faraz Hyder

I could spend all day on this ride. Too bad the scenes are always the same as it would be pretty awesome if they were to rotate different cities or sites for the ride.

Rodrigo Chang

I went two times to Soarin' in 2010 and 2013 the two times one of the best experiences on Epcot. The fell of the places where are "flying" Soarin' are wonderful.

Jose Rodriguez

This is an iconic ride with the most beautiful scenic views of some of the world's most amazing places! Tip: try to go on the front row if you can for best view .

Ashlyn Williams

Great ride. I enjoy the sites and smells you experience on the ride. I got a little scared my stuff would fall out from under my seat (left my phone loose) but it a ll survived.

Greg Pagans

truly magical--a great trick-of-the-eye and a wonderful view . don't be intimidated by the motion-sickness warnings--riders always have a view of still ground...enjoy!

Adam Howard

We were in the bottom left corner and we could tell it would be way better on the middle row or neater the center or the row. Don't know if you can request a good spot and hang back for the next one

The Transit Navigator

One of the best rides at EPCOT , Soarin' is a magical hang gliding experience. With an IMAX screen and 4D effects, you'll feel like you're truly travelling across the world! Also, ask to sit in front.

Ayaz Hyder

This will be closing for months starting January 4th 2016 and opening sometime in summer 2016. Getting long overdue upgrades. A 3rd screen and a new video. <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attraction"target="_blank" data-sig="Y5gsR7sqSAkVy6PxbP31m4NlrfQ=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attraction</a>

Whiskey Sharts

If you are a larger person, pull out your seat belt BEFORE you sit down so you don't have to dig it out.

Brandon Cain

Download the Disney play app before you get in line . Great trivia game to play to pass the time

Kathleen Herron

Absolutely "Fabulous" must do when at Epcot!

Paul Kardous

Best to make a beeline for Soarin' when the park opens if you don't have a fastpass . Keep in mind the standby times are very accurate.

Elizabeth Brownlee

Get your fastpass early. The cast members do not usually have any to give you. Row two is where the ride was designed to be seen from. The wait time is very long, so if you see it below 60 minutes, go

Christopher Cormier

I highly recommend going on this ride with a good buzz after a few beer flights . I was actually convinced I was flying! I was also convinced that I looked good.

Randy Sakagawa

now that it's soarin' across the world, you'll want to be seated towards the middle, otherwise you'll get a weird distortion due to the curved screen that may be distracting

Bri Armeni

Get there when park opens or else you will be waiting very long. Also, you want row 2. It's the best of the 3 rows to sit in and enjoy the view of the ride

Eric Stankovitz

Breathtaking attraction that gives you the feeling that your flying over some of the most recognizable landmarks around the world...

Matthew Burkhardt

Get there when the park opens, grab a Fastpass . If the line isn't too long, and ride it. Then go back and ride it again with the Fastpass later in the day.

Abby Gray

We had a lot of fun, gorgeous sights. We sat 2nd row which was great, I didn't even notice feet dangling. Far left was def our favorite

Jeffrey Lindauer

One of the best rides on the planet. But they need to update the movie a maybe film several and add some theaters !!

Twanda Carney Davis

That was a fire attraction . Everybody should try it. You feel like you are in the actual place

Kelly

Try to get in the first two rows. If your in the third then you aren't fully immersed in the view which makes it feel less real.

Grace Ybarra

In the golf course scene, try not to blink when the man hits the golf ball at you because there is a black hidden Mickey on the ball!

Mike Seilback

Great scenery, fun ride and the shnozberries even taste like shnozberries

Chad Murray

Take your shoes off and relax! Really! Leave your shoes on the ground before the ride starts, you'll enjoy the ride even more!

Justin Lisenby

Very fun ride. It really feels like you’re gliding across the world. The smells are the best part.

Mariah Maggioli

Best ride at Epcot (and for this reason, the line is long - but it's worth it)

Nancy Kang

Easy but awesome ride if u wanna feel like you're flying! They even use fragrance too (pine as u soar over evergreens)!

Chris O

Try to get row 1, it's the best experience. Also FastPass this early if possible, and then do some other things in the building while you wait.

Chris Reighley

In peak season get here early to get your FastPass . They run out quickly. You want concourse B row 1. That is middle - top row.

Steffanie Camilo

What are you waiting?! This is one of the best flying experiences here! Get a fastpass !

Dwayne Kilbourne

Extra popular ride for the family! This one is a can't-miss in most books !

Clarke Duncan

Bottom Left and Right = Cheap Seats, if you get Middle and Top aka Section B Row 1 then lucky you it's the best position.

Kaitlyn H.

To not see any edges of the screen: get into B row 2! (B is middle of A, B & C - 2 is the middle between 1, 2 & 3)

StarGirl11

If you've been to Disneyland ridden Soarin' then you've been on the ride. So pass unless your looking for an air conditioned break or really feel like riding it again.

David Ng

Ideal scenario: fastpass + around early afternoon so you can get lunch at Seasons before your flight

Clint

Try to sit near the center - if you are near the edge the buildings start looking like a Dali painting

Rusty Van Praag

Amazing! Great highflying views for those who don't like roller coasters .

Annabell Nev

So much fun, I’m afraid of heights but I love it. Very long wait so get there early.

Amanda Lune

Best ride to come to in Epcot, you have to come here if visting Epcot.

Jeremy Floyd

Make sure to get the Disney app to check wait times. Can vary from 40 minutes to 2 hours. Strike at the right time.

There is def a difference between green & orange rides. The intense orange one subjects you to intense g-forces. I loved it. But some of my party definitely did not. Go for green if you're unsure. - Mike Seilback
