Shanghai Disneyland has announced an expansion of its iconic Soaring Over the Horizon flying theatre attraction.
Located in the theme park’s Adventure Isle and opened in 2016, Soaring Over the Horizon is one of Shanghai Disneyland‘s most popular attractions.
It is being expanded to increase daily capacity by around 50 percent, and will also feature a new scene at the end of the experience, as well as “some other magical surprises”, Shanghai Disney said.
“The passion and enthusiasm that our guests and fans have shared for Shanghai Disney Resort continue to inspire us to explore innovative ways for more guests to experience our most popular attractions,” said Andrew Bolstein, president and general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort.
“Soaring Over the Horizon is an iconic family-friendly attraction that has delighted millions of guests of all ages since opening.
“We are very excited to welcome even more guests to embark on this magical ride in the near future and to encourage our seasoned fans to return and experience its new ending.”
Soaring Over the Horizon is one of four Soarin’ attractions at Disney theme parks.
Soarin’ Over California can be found at Disney California Adventure, Soarin’ Around the World is located at Epcot in Florida, and Soaring: Fantastic Flight is on offer at Tokyo DisneySea.
Expansion and development at Shanghai Disney
The updated attraction is part of Shanghai Disney Resort’s ongoing development and expansion, which includes a new Spider-Man-themed land and a third themed hotel.
The construction of both projects is well underway, while a new residential community for the resort’s cast members is also under construction.
In December 2023, Shanghai Disneyland opened its new Zootopia land – the first Zootopia zone at a Disney park.
The mammalian metropolis is home to innovative technologies and immersive theming.
