ANAHEIM, Calif. — Disneyland Resort is marking America’s 250th anniversary with a red, white and blue refresh for its popular “Soarin’” attraction.
The new flight-style experience, “Soarin’ Across America,” opened Thursday, July 2, at Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim and will be offered for a limited run. The patriotic version of the ride also made its debut May 26 at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
The updated attraction takes riders over some of the country’s most recognizable landscapes, complete with immersive scents. Scenes include the golden fall foliage of America’s heartland, the quiet charm of a Southern bayou, the sweeping plains of the western frontier, rugged northern wilderness, bright island coastlines and other U.S. destinations.
Along with the fresh visuals and aromas, “Soarin’ Across America” includes a newly arranged version of the original score by composer Bruce Broughton.
