Soaring Over the Horizon at Shanghai Disneyland opened on June 16 2016. It’s a breathtaking flight simulator. It takes you on a simulated hang glider ride over stunning locations. It’s a unique experience. It showcases the wonders of our world.

Imagine yourself strapped into a hang glider. You’re lifted gently into the air. The massive screen before you bursts to life. You’re soaring over the Matterhorn. The majestic peaks loom beneath you. Then you’re whisking over the Great Wall of China. Its ancient stones stretch as far as the eye can see. The experience is enhanced by subtle movements. The seats gently sway mimicking the sensation of flight. The air is filled with the scent of pine. Then rose blossoms as you glide over the Taj Mahal.

The ride isn’t just visually impressive. It’s a marvel of engineering. The system uses a complex cantilever system. It lifts the chairs forward and into the air. Your feet dangle freely adding to the thrill. The original film was shot at an amazing 48 frames per second. That’s double the speed of regular films. One million pounds of steel went into the ride’s construction. Thirty-seven tons are lifted with each ride cycle.

Soaring Over the Horizon offers more than just stunning visuals. It has different versions. Each version ends with a breathtaking view of the park’s skyline. The Shanghai version naturally showcases the city’s impressive cityscape. This is a truly unique experience. This is a must-do for any visitor to Shanghai Disneyland.
