I have a fear of heights I was fine the entire time. Me and the kid all had a great time. 10/10 🎉

[@russellrice9067]

We rode this today with our 9 and 10 year old grandkids,we all loved it and want to do it again.Not scary,it's amazing how your mind can be manipulated.Found ourselves raising our feet,to clear the mountains.Highly recommend.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Russell, we too had a great experience on this ride. My daughter & I DO NOT like roller coasters but she says she would ride it again. I can understand a family of 5 thinking 1 ride will cost over $100 and perhaps is too much. I would say if you have never done a ride like this, there is nothing like it except Soarin' & Flight of Passage at Walt Disney World.

[@k9feces]

I was in the middle row, I didn’t know how this ride worked I was blown away. It would be awesome themed to something like Star Wars.

[@AV-sw7bj]

Disney would never allow that

[@teacher555555]

for those of you who have ever been to disneyland or disney world and been on the "soarin" ride, its the exact same machine just designed around this theme instead of flying over CA and other parts of the world.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

👍

[@GFSwinger1693]

It is not the same exact machine. The one at DCA hangs from the top. This in this video seems supported from the bottom. At the end of the day it does pretty much the same thing but it seems designed differently mechanical wise.

[@teacher555555]

@@GFSwinger1693 you are right only because of the scale of this machine. soarin at DCA and DW are literally 3x bigger so they move forward and rise you up. this looks more like it rises the screen up edit. looking at another video, it is the same machine except that all it does is lean you back and move the screen up otherwise its no different.

[@rvserious8317]

Thanks for addressing seat size, mobility and weight! Most people don't when talking about rides. Can't wait to do this the next time we are there!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Glad it was helpful! SkyFly Soar America in Pigeon Forge is a really fun ride!

[@darleneriddell4624]

Thanks

[@georginacat7667]

Well he didnt did he really?

[@skaarlet1449]

We “rode” something like this once where you’re standing up leaning against a railing but it’s all ground vehicles. My mom’s friend was standing to the right of her. At the end we rolled up on a train’s caboose really fast and we heard a shout and looked over and she had freaked out and fallen right over on the floor. It’s probably the hardest I ever saw the two of them laugh. Me being a pre-teen of course I was mortified by their behavior. Nowadays that’s just one story of many mom (83 this year, and her friend is long since passed) still gets a chuckle about.

[@mikespeedfromspeedway2812]

Tennessee has never ceased to amaze me with all the fun things and experiences there. Definitely an area I would like to revisit. Nothing there seems too overwhelming and the people show great hospitality. The night vibes where this attraction is located is always relaxing and enjoyable!

[@freshtapcoke]

Wow, this is a very high production value queue and ride. Very impressive!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

[@Lasky202]

My wife and I are taking the kids to pigeon forge tomorrow for three days. I've been checking out y'all's channel getting ready for the trip. Thanks for being so informative.

[@WebbsWeb]

SkyFly is on our list of things to do when we are there the last week of April. Looks like a lot of fun.

[@OldMovieRob]

Pretty cool that they let you film the entire video. I did this ride last year and thought it was a blast. Thought those race cars were going to smash right into us, haha

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

I would love to go back and do a better overview of this ride now that I have a better low light camera. It's a great ride!

[@nbaoldgirl]

I had no idea this ride existed! I love it! Thank you for an informative and great video about this ride!

[@katherinebirkett4706]

As a Steampunk who owns 3 pairs of goggles and a few costumes, this is a very splendid video of a very splendid ride indeed. Pity they didn't pick my ship 'Duchess' for the ride instead. Yours, Steamship captain Aquila Hartley-Jennings, of the mysterious town of Polskerran in Cornwall, UK (actually eastern England, UK).

[@wesleyhowren6116]

This ride is so similar to the one at Disney it’s ridiculous but there’s a lot of features. This actually looks like more fun.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

The SkyFly is great Wesley!

[@TayWoode]

Not everything is exclusive to Disney. That’s like saying roller coasters are the same coz they were built by the same company. In fact Disney sometimes copy from other parks

[@Weatheredstorms1]

There’s nothing ridiculous about this ride. It’s pretty cool.There are similar rides to many parks around.

[@toniwilliams44]

Thank you for mentioning weight limit and showing seats. Cool video

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Thank you Toni! We tried to put in as many of the FAQ's we noticed people asking when the SkyFly first opened.

[@David-pt6zk]

Six flags over Georgia had a similar ride called the Chevy show back in the 70's

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

👍

[@juniorclemons3638]

I rode this ride. I have a deathly fear of heights so you can imagine I did not enjoy it much. I closed my eyes several times, it was very realistic. I qualified for senior discount and they had coupons that I didn't know about till later. The unfriendly young girl behind the counter charged me full price with no hesitation. Word to the wise, look for a discount cause the admission price is high.

[@Alivia.R.01]

Maybe she thought you were too young for it! 😂

[@dianeinocencio1473]

Oh yeah! You sound like you are no fun!

[@pegasuswinterguard5818]

Cry cry

[@TayWoode]

So why did you go on it if you have a fear of heights? There’s even a warning at 4:50 saying you can wait if you have a fear of flying. Why didn’t you show proof of age to get just $3 off a $22.99 ticket? Do you also eat food you’re allergic to or watch movies you don’t like just to moan about it? 🤦🏾

[@Weatheredstorms1]

You must be fun at parties

[@audreylowe2941]

We rode it twice, back to back....It was totally AWESOME. ...

[@charlenevarada--Stargazer]

Wow! What a ride! I had the distinct feeling I was actually flying! Ironically, that's how I go to sleep--so I don't think I would have any fears at that point.😊

[@karenfromNH]

I have done a similar ride in Vegas. Incredible experience but if your prone to dizziness it can be challenging at times.

[@amberbryant8141]

Wow 😯 so beautiful views. Thank you sharing your video. We never go in yet. Hope soon visit PF, Tennessee. ❤

[@amyhunter4630]

Just rode this today and it was well UNDER priced! It’s an absolutely amazing ride and experience.

[@TayWoode]

Oh wow that looks amazing! That was really well themed. I love steampunk stuff, it reminds me of all the decor in Discoveryland at Disneyland Paris. The music was superb too and the back story. Very immersive New subscriber so I can watch some others 👍🏾

[@Twinklethefox9022]

I wouldn't mind it if the floor didn't leave me. My mom wouldn't let me back out of it and I wish I did

[@EpicNateWarriorV2]

I am scared of hights but I’m getting over my fear i live in Ohio and I went on a vacation to Florida and we got a on a plane I was scared because when looking down at the window it was nighttime and when we left Florida it was day time so I could see the ground I looked down I was scared at first then when I kept looking out the window I felt not that scared anymore Then now in 2023 I went to pigeon Forge Tennessee during my spring break and went on skyfly and during the ride I wasn’t scared at all when on it so it’s a very fun experience for me I’m trying to get over my fear of heights because I want to go skydiving like REAL skydiving and I feel like I’m close of getting over my fear Through experience therapy So the ride is 10/10 for me

[@briancoy297]

It just depends since not everyone's fear of heights will be the same. I have it, but also enjoy riding coasters and attractions like this and Soarin. Put me in a highrise though with little railing support and my fear will start kicking in.

[@davidbreakspear8776]

Who in their right mind is going to pay those prices for a few minutes on a knock off soarin attraction. A family of 2 adults and 2 children at over $80 is just not worth the expense.

[@deedew6430]

Wow!! Thank you for the best video experience of an attraction cannot wait to get there n do this in 3 wks!! 👍👍😍

[@kathyg1346]

Awesome review… can’t wait to experience this.

[@katyaweikel3922]

Soarin is one of my favorite rides ever. The one issue I have with Soarin is if you are in the second or third row you see the people above you’s feet. Looks like this isn’t the case here. This looks even more technologically advanced. So bummed I didn’t try this the last time I was in Pigeon Forge.

[@jlogsdon1540]

That is just another Soarin’. Thanks, Disney, for doing all the hard work. 😁👍🏼👍🏼

[@hokiechip]

Good job, My wife and I loved this - we ended up doing it twice.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

@hookiechip Thank you! We too loved the SkyFly Soar America ride in Pigeon Forge too!

[@chrispalmer9802]

Awesome. Is the seat moving around while your flying. Such as tilting back and forth or rumbling?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Hey Chris! The row of seats you are sitting on will sway up and down left or right. If they did tell forward or backwards it was so slight I never noticed. I would describe it as a smooth ride. I don’t like roller coasters, but enjoyed the SkyFly Soar America ride!

[@conniesmith2748]

Such an informative video. My husband has back issues- does this ride move you around alot? Is it rough?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

So glad to hear it was helpful, we were trying our best to answer frequent questions being asked. We found it to be very smooth! I saw someone else online say that they have back issues and that this ride was no problem for them.

[@tiazadobbs7475]

[@melindakhristine9417]

This looks awesome. How long was the train ride? Are the seats motioned, or spray anything at you? We were in Pigeon Forge last October but we never got a chance to go to this attraction. Too much to do in a weeks time. However I'm coming back this year for two weeks. Whoo Hoo!! Lol. Great videography!

[@ashleysimmons3210]

Oooo that looks so fun! I wish it was free or at least less than 23 dollars a person, maybe like 10 dollars a person would be better for me, but it looks so fun!

I went on this yesterday and it scared me so much. I have a fear of heights and thought I was going to fall out of my chair many times. Edit: it wasn't exactly this ride but similar. Soaring across America I think it was. Kinda looking at these to see what I missed.

[@pointnozzleaway]

We just rode this, it is an Amazing sensation x 10 !

[@ArtStoneUS]

Even if they didn't directly realize it, this was probably inspired by cinemascope of the 1960s. It was the best technology at the time using three synchronized cameras and film projectors and high-quality sound systems. A handful of movie theaters in major cities rebuild their auditoriums to facilitate the cinemascope films. You really had to remind yourself that you were sitting in a chair and the chair was not moving up and down.

[@John-bo1sz]

So I've never seen this before, do you stay stationary while the scenes change and you think it's really moving or are you really traveling on the tram? As a South Dakota resident Ive seen Mt Rushmore in person but never saw it that close up before. Very nice to see it included.

[@bethpmills]

Thank you for sharing. It reminds me of a better version of Busch Gardens (Europe in the air.) Ride when they had it.

[@denisek3771]

SkyFly vs FlyRide? If we pick one, which one should we do? We’re seasoned Disney travelers so we’re familiar with Soarin’. Thanks for any opinion or suggestion on this!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

SkyFly is more like Soarin' & intense than Flyride IMO. Our pleasure Denise!

[@danielmenetrey6876]

Still debating on if it's worth it. For two adults and two kids it would be $82. Are there any coupons anywhere?

[@kevinarmstrong6957]

I have been on Soar’n at Disney Epcot and I loved it .

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

👍

[@Alivia.R.01]

If you’ve been been to Imagination Station in Ohio, they have a smaller ride kinda like this. It’s a lot shorter and cheaper but it’s very fun. I recommend it for kids 4-10 or people who can’t handle heights (as it’s less realistic)

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

👍

[@gerrywood5325]

After riding "Soarin' several times at Disney World, I have to say I liked SkyFly much better from what I saw on KZbin.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Just rode Soarin' the other day, it's still the best, but this is not far behind it!

$23 for adults and $18 for kids…so a couple taking 2 kids is $82 LOL… Disneyland ticket pricing doesn’t seem so bad now🤷‍♂️

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

👍

[@michaelratcliffe7559]

I can’t imagine listening to two more excited people talk about this ride and how absolutely wonderful it is and just exactly why six minutes on this ride is worth one and a half times the price of going to see a brand new movie release that’s probably going to be at least 2 to 2 1/2 hours long. I guess if you’ve got kids and you’re desperate for something to do and a way to spend the money that everyone says you don’t have because the economy is so bad, this works for you.🤷‍♂️

[@cyb5761]

I've been on this ride. Wouldn't recommend it based on lack of virtual structure. Some may find it difficult. I would not have designed the ride this way that has you hangin in mid air with no floor beneath your feet. Should have least simulated being in some sort of structure. Just my opinion.

The individual seats don’t move, but the row of seats as a whole will sway up/down/left/right to match the movement on the video. It’s all very smooth motion, nothing too crazy or bumpy.

[@haleymoore2243]

So, as someone who is terrified of heights - how high off the ground are you, exactly, once it begins? I'm assuming either the floor drops out or you're lifted up? I need to prepare myself for our trip in a couple of weeks.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Hey Haley! We are are used to Soarin' at Disney's EPCOT which can go pretty high. This is a much smaller theater and didn't go to high in our opinion. Depending on which row you are on you either go up or down a little bit as the floor moves away. You could always request to be on the lower row. Hopefully this helps!

[@dawnstraughen755]

Ride was great! I could do without the Commentary though. The ride needed to be longer for the price. I didn't want it to end! At least for 20 minutes.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Soarin at Epcot is shorter in length. I too wish it were less expensive, but understand the cost to cover the expense it took to put it in and operate it. I would definitely encourage people to utilize the discount(s) available to ride SkyFly.
