This is one-of-a-kind flying theater attraction that really stands out from the usual rides in the area. You’re securely harnessed into suspended seats in front of a huge curved screen, and from the moment it starts, it genuinely feels like you’re lifting off and flying. The atmosphere, setup, and overall presentation make it feel more like an experience than just a short ride. Great for the price and photos at the end you gotta pay for.

The visuals are absolutely beautiful, showcasing famous landmarks and natural scenery across the United States. What makes it special is how immersive it is — the motion of the seats, wind blowing past you, light mist, and even subtle scents all work together to make the flight feel real. The ride is smooth and exciting without being overwhelming, so it’s great for adults, kids, and anyone who wants a thrill without intense drops or sharp movements.

While the ride itself isn’t very long, the quality easily makes up for it. Everything feels polished, well-done, and thoughtfully designed. If you’re visiting The Island and want something memorable that’s different from arcades or standard attractions, SkyFly Soar America is absolutely worth experiencing at least once. 5 stars

Wonderful attraction. Very in-depth preshow to help pass the time while waiting. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The flying theater was well maintained and the picture quality and sound were top notch. Ride operators were thorough in checking seats and restraints. Check local coupon books for discount codes. Purchase tickets online if it’s a busy time of year, otherwise purchasing in person is fine. Nice gift shop and there are photo opportunities to get a nice group picture. Keep your receipt and re-ride the same day for $10.

We had a wonderful and unique experience at SkyFly: Soar America! It truly felt like I was flying over famous monuments and breathtaking landscapes across America. The scenery and views were beautiful, and both my husband and I absolutely loved it. It honestly gave us a very similar feeling to Disney’s Soarin’ Around the World ride, which made the experience even more enjoyable for us.

One of the best parts was the special effects — the mist effects that simulated water and the fans that made it feel like you were actually soaring through the air added so much immersion and excitement to the experience.

A few things that could make it even better: the pre-show felt a bit longer than expected and may lose some people’s attention before the main attraction starts. It would also be great to see enhanced video quality in the future as technology improves. Lastly, adding a few more higher-speed sequences or stronger downward “lunging” moments could make the ride even more thrilling and exciting. Overall, though, this was such a fun and memorable attraction that we’re really glad we experienced!
