Super dope ride that lasts for maybe 5 minutes. Really awesome trip around different parts of the world. However, absolutely not worth waiting 1.5 hours. My feet and legs are on fire and my friends and I have gone insane after inching along in line for that long. If you get a lightning pass or happen to find it at a shorter wait time go ahead but it’s not worth as long as we waited.

Such an immerse experience. For a moment I thought I was really on a plane exploring the area. I almost panicked and thought I lost my passport and then I remembered it was just a ride.
Nice little break from the rest of the park. Provides kids a unique look at what some of the sights there are to see in California as whole.

This is an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Disney California Adventure Park. This ride was breathtaking, relaxing, and incredibly enjoyable, honestly, I could have spent the entire day on this ride alone (yes, all day).
The sensation is unlike anything else. You genuinely feel the wind in your face as you glide over some of the most iconic landmarks in the world, and the added scents for each location make the experience even more immersive. From fresh grass to ocean air, every detail feels perfectly timed and incredibly realistic.
The ride itself is extremely comfortable, smooth, and suitable for all ages, which just adds to how enjoyable it is. It’s peaceful, awe-inspiring, and somehow both calming and exciting at the same time. Without a doubt, one of the best attractions in the park and an experience I’d recommend to absolutely everyone.
