The “Soarin’ Around the World” attractions at the Disneyland and Disney World resorts will trade scenes of the Great Wall of China, Egyptian pyramids and Eiffel Tower for a flight from sea to shining sea when the new “Soarin’ Across America” film opens during the 250th anniversary of the United States.
The new “Soarin’ Across America” attractions will debut in summer 2026 at Disney California Adventure and Epcot in celebration of the nation’s semi-quincentennial.
The Soarin’ hang-gliding flight simulator attractions combine mechanical lift systems with three rows of seats and aerial footage projected onto an 80-foot-tall concave domed movie screen to create a visual tour tied to a specific theme. Past tours have taken riders across California and around the world.
