The dream of flight is as old as time itself. Similarly, buried deep in the Canadian soul is the desire to travel across Canada from coast to coast. This quest has captivated the earliest explorers as well as our modern day heroes.
The appeal of FlyOver Canada makes the imagined real. Since opening in June 2013, FlyOver Canada has brought smiles to over two million riders of all ages, from every corner of Canada and over 40 nations worldwide.
During the Ultimate Flying Ride you will see numerous cities and vistas across the country. The production team for FlyOver Canada were able to select 18 scenes from over 100 hours of footage to represent Canada in the ride film. There are no subtitles or voice-overs during the experience, as we did not want to detract from the flying sensation.
Prior to embarking on the FlyOver Canada ride, you will be treated to an up-close and personal view of Canadians and the incredible environment we live in. Uplift highlights the country’s people and the landscapes through the stories of five Canadian and their passions - reveling the subtle beauty in the everyday. This 360-degree video projection mapping includes 2D and 3D animation.
The immersive pre-show is courtesy of the Montreal-based multi-media production company, Moment Factory. Created specifically for FlyOver Canada, Uplift is an experience on its own and the perfect way to start your journey.
