If this was still soarin over California I would give it a 9.8. But soarin over the world is NOT as good. The CGI is no as good as actual footage. The tall objects show the curvature of the screen. And where are the smells like the oranges. Soarin over CA has been a must see for me. Over the would I can pass. Why didn’t Disney creat soarin over Florida? Hey Disney drop over the would and creat a Soarin over Florida and keep it real!
Pros:
Love the mechanics of the rideCons:

NOT ‘Soarin’ Over California’! Don’t care for the CGI representation, enjoy actual video footage over computer generated. Sitting in middle and still curved screen. Doesn’t have the great smells of the original. I give this one a low rank, but if the put back Soarin’ Over California, I’d give it a 10. Better yet - do a Soarin’ Over Florida for Disney World!
Pros:
Actual physical ride - moving against an iMax movie screen. When working smells and spritzes.Cons:
Computer generated video, Visible curvatures of scenery, Seriously pales in comparison to the original.Reviewed by EmilyKay23 Review Date: 03/15/2020

Ask for front row/top middle/ b1 whatever you want to call it. We just lucked into it the first time. But it does make a difference.
Pros:
The sights. The scents.Cons:
Only con is if you don’t get a good seat can be distorted or have feet.Reviewed by jessica345 Review Date: 01/31/2020

The best ride in Epcot undoubtedly! This is a unique experience you can't find anywhere else (well, besides DCA). The overall atmosphere is incredible and it's just a very entertaining ride! This is definitely a must-do, even if the wait times can get a bit high. I'd recommend getting a Fastpass for this ride whenever you can!
Pros:
Entertaining, fun, and exhilaratingCons:
Long linesReviewed by amandakola Review Date: 06/18/2019

A fun flying experience. I am afraid of heights but once the ride begins you kind of just forget about it and feel very safe. Worth it if you are the same and don’t go on because of that reason.
Pros:
Great view of the worlds greatest wondersCons:
Long lines; definitely use your fast past for this one.Reviewed by abrooks126 Review Date: 04/25/2019

This is the ultimate bird’s-eye glide around the world! It stirs all your senses – breathtaking sights and scenery, majestic music, the breeze in your face, and earthy and floral scents. A lot of visual “surprises” that you’ll just have to experience. You can ride this over and over again and never tire of it. You soar over the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids, and the Taj Mahal, just to name a few.
Your “glider” has 3 rows with about a dozen or so seats to a row, each equipped with a seatbelt. As the ride starts, you’re elevated, which really enhances the “soarin’” experience. But if you’ve got a severe fear of heights, this may not be for you. Or if you’re prone to motion sickness, you may want to reconsider.
I like sitting in the front row because I find that the dangling feet of overhead riders detract from the experience. It’s also great if you get a middle seat. Sometimes if you’re on the end, some of the structures, such as the Taj Mahal, appear to be slightly skewed.
This is a must see and a Fastpass is highly recommended. Otherwise, long wait times can quickly add up. You can always get to the park super early and head directly to Soarin’. We always try to ride it more than once.
Pros:
Breathtaking views as you literally feel you are soaring around the world. Visual "surprises".Cons:
Dangling feet of overhead passengers is distracting if you're not seated in the front row. Skew or "bend" in picture if you're seated on the ends. Those with fear of heights and motion sickness might want to reconsider.Reviewed by NatF Review Date: 04/24/2019

Always a must-do for our family. \"Hang-glide\" through the world and see some fantastic sights.
