• The video features several key designers on the ride, along with appearances from a performer playing Cora, one of the sibling duo at the center of NightFlight Expedition's storyline.
• Some bold but quite intriguing claims are made about NightFlight Expedition in the video, including that "It's going to do things that no other ride in the world currently does."
• The attraction is attention getting to be sure, touted as the world’s first indoor family hybrid coaster and whitewater river raft ride.
• In the video, designers note the ride will allow you to "soar high above the smokeys at night," and stress the storybook feel they were going for, which includes dimensional sets comprised of a series of flats.

• The opening day for NightFlight Expedition has yet to be announced.
• The original intention was for it to open Spring 2026, which means, technically, there's still a few weeks for it to reach that goal, barring a push a bit later into summer.
