Share this

FlyOverCanadaGet ready to ride: FlyOver™ Canada will debut at Vancouver’s iconic Canada Place in late spring 2013, just steps away from the Vancouver Convention Centre.

The $15-million dollar attraction incorporates the latest in virtual flight-ride technology and is the first of its kind in Canada. Led by an award-winning creative team – including Rick Rothschild (former Walt Disney Imagineer and creative director of Disney Parks’ Soarin’ Over California attraction) and Dave Mossop (Whistler-based director with Sherpas Cinema) – this breathtaking aerial journey takes place in Vancouver’s former IMAX theatre.

Up to 60 guests are safely strapped in their seats and elevated in front of a 20-metre-wide, sphere-shaped screen before embarking on a virtual 4D experience across the country. The adventure showcases a mix of seasons, magnificent landscapes and vibrant colours, all enhanced by wind, scents, mist and sound.
