We just got back and Soarin' was the highlight!

Is it a permanent ride? It was just so cool. It felt like a dream!

 

[safetymom]

Yes it is permanent.

I wanted to thank you, Safetymom for your comments about the ride before we left. I wasn't nervous at all that it would be scary because of you and I thought about you waiting in line!

You did your good disney deed for the day!

I am just glad to hear you enjoyed Soarin. It is my favorite ride. I just try to repay the favors when I was first planning trips to Disney. Thank you.

O.K. safetymom -- here's a question for you!

I have heard SEVERAL versions of how high up the bottom row really is. I have heard everything from 40 feet off the ground, to what my friend just came back and reported, which was only 3 feet off the ground.

What is the truth? That's a pretty big difference!

 

[safetymom]

Not sure about the bottom row. We asked about the top row at DL and we were told 42 feet. I can always ask when I go again.

Yes, please do. And make sure the CM really does know (not just guessing). You would have to whack me over the head with a hammer to get me onto the ride that is 42 feet in the air. But 3 feet, no problem.

Thanks!

I am afraid of heights but on Soarin the room is dark and you feel yourself moving but you really can't tell how high you are. I do think the back row is higher than 3 feet but you can't really tell. It is just so awesome you forget that you are up high, or at least I did.

I will ask the next time I am over at the park. Daughter knows someone that would have the correct numbers.

Thr truth is you really won't notice the difference. You barely even feel the elevation when you are lifted. I was very apprehensive about getting on this but found it to be incredibly beautiful, I barely noticed I was elevated. Just my two cents worth after riding it for the first time last week.
