Honestly, what makes this ride so good? A boring queue? A ride experience where you just look at a screen? No feelings of euphoria, or complete awe, or thrill sensation? I’m not sure what I’m supposed to get from this ride....at least the smell of oranges blocks out the smell of people’s feet!
Pros:
You go high and fly!Cons:
Usually a long lineReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 03/15/2020

If this was still soarin over California I would give it a 9.8. But soarin over the world is NOT as good. The CGI is no as good as actual footage. The tall objects show the curvature of the screen. And where are the smells like the oranges. Soarin over CA has been a must see for me. Over the would I can pass. Why didn’t Disney creat soarin over Florida? Hey Disney drop over the would and creat a Soarin over Florida and keep it real!
Pros:
Love the mechanics of the rideCons:

NOT ‘Soarin’ Over California’! Don’t care for the CGI representation, enjoy actual video footage over computer generated. Sitting in middle and still curved screen. Doesn’t have the great smells of the original. I give this one a low rank, but if the put back Soarin’ Over California, I’d give it a 10. Better yet - do a Soarin’ Over Florida for Disney World!
Pros:
Actual physical ride - moving against an iMax movie screen. When working smells and spritzes.Cons:
Computer generated video, Visible curvatures of scenery, Seriously pales in comparison to the original.Reviewed by PolynesianStitch Review Date: 04/15/2024

Pros:
Awesome views, very smooth and funCons:

The only reason I'm giving this a 9 and not a 10 is because soarin' over california is a bit better I think. You don't go very high technically but you feel like you do so be careful if you have a fear of heights.
Pros:
Incredible ride system and experience.Cons:
some seats are better than other (towards the sides some things look curved or stretched)Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 11/15/2022

One of my favorite rides on property. It holds a special place in many Disney fan's hearts. It captures the wonders of the world in a fresh and breathtaking way.
Pros:
Stunning effects, cool ride system, original ideaCons:
Camera angles and effects can be wonky based on where you sit. Lines can be long and extensive. Relatively hard to access.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 10/03/2022

Tucked away in the Land Pavilion along with Living with the Land, this groundbreaking ride takes you on a journey around the world. Literally. As you take a seat in your hang glider, you rise 79 feet as your feet dangle above deserts, oceans, polar bears, pyramids, and end off back where you became in a beautiful nighttime firework show, this ride does not disappoint. Except in one situation. If you are not sitting in the top row, other feet might obstruct your view and ruin the authenticity of the ride experience. This ride will also play with your senses, making you smell dust and other materials from around the world, make you feel colder or warmer, and instantly transforms you from EPCOT to China or Egypt or The Arctic.
