The Flyover Immersive Flying Experience
Real people at real places are featured during the films at Flyover Las Vegas.
No artificial intelligence is used in the films making the footage from the fixed lens, incapable of zooming from the helicopter and drones even more impressive!
The ride’s motion seats are engineered to give you the feeling of flight. The motion seats can swoop, dip, and turn for an unforgettable experience.
Flyover Las Vegas has a 52.5-foot-wide spherical screen that surrounds you for the entire experience and enhances the incredible visuals.
The wraparound screen allows you to access an insider’s look at the vast prairies and untamed landscape during the unmistakable feeling of flight.
The special effects allow you to feel the wind and the mist effects for a fully immersive experience as you soar through the clouds and near water.
Each film has location-specific scents for complete sensory engagement.
It’s easy to get caught up in the moment during your flight soaring over incredible landscapes but try to remember to breathe to take in all of the authentic scents along the way.
The flight ride portion is 8-10 minutes depending on the film and the three immersive experiences total 30 minutes.
You Can Watch Three Flyover Films in One Location
Your hardest decision is deciding which one of the spectacular films, filled with awe-inspiring landscapes and iconic locations you want to “flyover” first.
If you’ve previously enjoyed the iconic Walt Disney World ride (Soarin’) at Epcot or Disneyland, you’ll love the ride experience at Flyover Las Vegas even more!
I recognized several locations I’ve previously visited and found trip inspiration for future plans during our immersive flying journey.
The power of unique perspectives allows you to experience familiar iconic global destinations in new ways with sensations of flight.
I’ve previously flown in a helicopter over the Las Vegas Strip and the similarities during that moment of the film immediately brought back that incredible memory.
