This is located at the Island in Pigeon Forge, TN. Just drive to where the giant Great Smoky Mountain Wheel is.
How much is it?
23.99 - Adults
17.99 - Kids
19.99 - Seniors
Must be 40" tall. Over 55" to ride alone and under 76".
The overall experience is about 30-40 minutes. The actual ride video is 6 minutes.
Every seat is a front row seat, though I would try to get in the middle if possible. As to seat size, I am 6"1 195lbs and felt as thought I had plenty of room.
SkyFly: Soar America utilizes a state-of-the-art ride system to give you the feeling of flight. You will hang suspended, feet dangling, before a 40-foot spherical screen while our film whisks you away on an exhilarating 6-minute journey across the United States. Special effects, including wind, mist and scents, combine with the ride’s motion to create an unforgettable experience.

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.

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

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.
OH WOW, great coverage I was holding my breath like I was on the ride, the video is so realistic 😍🥰 you have great recording skills 👍🏾👍🏾 thanks for sharing 🥰♥️

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.

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.

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? 🤦🏾

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!
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!

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.

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.

Did the ride tip forward or the screen make you feel you do. ?
We enjoyed the ride. I wish they would rotate the movies out though. We did the ride the first month it opened and would do it again if the content was different but at this time it is the same.
Does the seats move around what are we moving back-and-forth or anything like that I like to know to
@AdventureIsOutThere
2 жыл бұрын
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.
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)

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.

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!
Would this be okay for 3 timid kids? They are 8, 7, and 5 and have all ridden kiddie coasters but didn’t love them. They get a little anxious on rides.

2 of our 3 kids don't like roller coasters. All 3 (8, 10 & 12) did fine. I tried my best to give a feel of what the ride is like including how long it is in this video. If you are still nervous about them having a bad experience, talk to the manager before buying tickets and chat about possibly doing a child swap or something. I hope this helps Skylar! ~Ryan
