Well said Mizzy.

Soarin is one of the more popular rides and queues and waiting can be very long.

Would definatley recommend Fast Passing as soon as you arrive in Epcot.

We fast passed Soarin at Xmas at around 10.30am and our time slot was between 5pm - 6pm

Crikey is it that popular now Definately a fast pass i think, we were lucky enough to get on a preview ride just before it opened, and went on a few times with virtually no waiting..I thought it was amazing I have to admit for me well worth a go. It was a new firm favourite

forgot to say Vicki

ask for seat in front row and be prepared to wait one turn if not immediately available, it'll be well worth and extra few mins wait

Never managed to get on this ride. Queues always way too long and fastpasses gone every time we've tried. Maybe next time.

This ride had so much hype, everyone who we spoke to who works for Disney was like have you been on Soarin yet?! So we went on it, and it was actually really good! We werent that high up as we were in the back row, so had a few dangly feet, but was still good, and felt really high, yeah the wind in the hair feeling was really good and the smell of the Pine trees and Orange groves is an awesome effect! Plus the queuing for this ride wasnt that bad, as they have interactive picture frames in the waiting line, where the whole crowd can play with 4 screens, moving their hands about to create a mountain region etc, and trees. It's actually really cool, and makes the queue time seem really quick, although we did go at the start of September, it was soooo quiet!!!, But yeah, Soarin is definatly a good ride, seen as most of the rides were shut for re-furbs when we were there! lol!

A Fantastic experience and has to be one of my favorite rides.It is definitely worth waiting for.I think the ride and feeling of soarin' is one of the most realistic feelings of actually flying you can get.
It is like hang gliding but without the effort.

I don't remember the interactive picture frames when I was there in April. We had Fast Passes, so maybe we missed that. Sounds like fun.

You will miss them if you have Fast Passes as they are over the other side of a wall. They are quite new additions, aimed at helping to pass the time. It is my favourite ride of all. But the queues are often horrific. Great in September though, even Test Track we walked straight on.
