Frog Overview
Glide through the air on Soarin’ Around the World at EPCOT®! To begin your flight, you’ll travel through the queue to the Concourse, where you'll prepare for your global flight. While waiting in line, pass the time with the interactive videogame section. The videogames use motion-detection and heat sensors so that users can control the game by using certain body motions! There are five different games to choose from, including racing others in a bird race.
After a quick instructional video, you’ll be on your way to soaring! Soarin' Around the World begins as you’re strapped into your “hang-glider” and lifted 40 feet into the air with your feet dangling freely. The IMAX projection dome wraps 180 degrees around you, so you’re engulfed by the impressive scenery during your peaceful flight over iconic sights. To complete the experience, special effects like wind, sound and even smell are used throughout this smooth ride. Here are some sights you’ll fly over while experiencing the ride: the Great Wall of China, Iguaza Falls in South America, Sydney Harbour in Australia and more.
