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.

Christina BetterleySeptember 1, 2013Best 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.Upvoted 6 days ago
Danny AlvarezMay 30, 2015It'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!Upvoted Mar 9- 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 HowellSeptember 20, 2016The 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.
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.
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...
Thom JamesMay 27, 2023You 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.
Laur Lo SkiJuly 16, 2017Possibly 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!
Rodrigo ChangJuly 3, 2014I 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.- Greg PagansFebruary 1, 2014truly 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!
The Transit NavigatorJanuary 1, 2012One 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.- 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.
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.
Adam HowardAugust 27, 2017We 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
If you are a larger person, pull out your seat belt BEFORE you sit down so you don't have to dig it out.
Bri ArmeniDecember 21, 2012Get 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
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
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.
Paul KardousJuly 28, 2015Best 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.
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.
Very fun ride. It really feels like you’re gliding across the world. The smells are the best part.
Take your shoes off and relax! Really! Leave your shoes on the ground before the ride starts, you'll enjoy the ride even more!
Abby GrayMay 21, 2012We 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 LindauerJuly 29, 2013One of the best rides on the planet. But they need to update the movie a maybe film several and add some theaters!!
Mike SeilbackAugust 21, 2014Great scenery, fun ride and the shnozberries even taste like shnozberries
Twanda Carney DavisOctober 1, 2023That was a fire attraction. Everybody should try it. You feel like you are in the actual place
Chris OMay 23, 2012Try 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.
Christopher CormierApril 21, 2013I 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.
Brandon CainApril 14, 2019Download the Disney play app before you get in line. Great trivia game to play to pass the time
Allison JonesFebruary 10, 2010Great ride! Try to do Soarin early in the morning, with a FastPass, or during Extra Magic Hours. Very popular ride and usually has a long line! Read moreUpvoted 3 weeks ago- Clarke DuncanApril 15, 2013Bottom Left and Right = Cheap Seats, if you get Middle and Top aka Section B Row 1 then lucky you it's the best position.
Katie HDecember 15, 2011Cool ride, you can even smell the stufff you fly through. although I wouldn't suggest it for people that get motion sickness because it made me a little dizzy! But still neat.
Dwayne KilbourneApril 16, 2012Extra popular ride for the family! This one is a can't-miss in most books!Upvoted Feb 26
ClintJuly 18, 2019Try to sit near the center - if you are near the edge the buildings start looking like a Dali painting
Annabell NevDecember 27, 2018So much fun, I’m afraid of heights but I love it. Very long wait so get there early.
Breathtaking attraction that gives you the feeling that your flying over some of the most recognizable landmarks around the world...
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
KellyNovember 23, 2015Try 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.
Danielle CharestFebruary 4, 2013Make sure you get row one, and try to be seated in the center section. Also MAKE SURE YOU GET A FASTPASS
Nancy KangFebruary 6, 2014Easy but awesome ride if u wanna feel like you're flying! They even use fragrance too (pine as u soar over evergreens)!- Kaitlyn H.July 16, 2012Try for B, if you're in A or C you're on the ends and see a black strip for the edge of the screen. B keeps it more realistic.
Steffanie CamiloApril 3, 2017What are you waiting?! This is one of the best flying experiences here! Get a fastpass!
Matthew BurkhardtOctober 23, 2012Get 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.
Eric DanielNovember 11, 2012Amazing ride, but a FastPass is a must have, otherwise its at least a 60 min wait.
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.
David NgJanuary 11, 2014Ideal scenario: fastpass+ around early afternoon so you can get lunch at Seasons before your flight
