Take Flight with a Behind the Scenes Look at Soarin’ Across America Filming

Now that the latest version of Soarin' is open to guests at EPCOT, Disney has shared a new behind the scenes look at filming of Soarin' Across America.

What's Happening:

• Now taking flight from The Land pavilion at EPCOT is the new Soarin' Across America, a celebration of America’s 250th birthday celebration, "the semiquincentennial."
• The third iteration of the popular attraction takes guests across various American landmarks and scenery – from the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore, to the Hollywood sign and the bayous of Louisana.
• However, it's the stunning beauty of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River that is the focus of the behind the scenes footage Disney has shared.
• The video showcases many aspects of production, from the use of helicopters to film the sequences, even going onboard a raft that can be seen paddling along the river in the scene.
• Before that, you can also see some of the other scenes featured in the new film, all set to Bruce Broughton's update of the iconic Soarin' theme.
