Boarding the Experience

Flyover features an amusement ride employing chairlift-style seats that lift guests up in the air. For safety, guests using wheelchairs must be able to transfer to their seat by themselves or with the assistance of a companion.

Guests who are unable to transfer from their wheelchair may still enjoy the Flyover experience. We invite them to view the media of the main show from their wheelchair (which remains stationary) on the flight deck.

In such circumstances, the guest will be accompanied by one of our team members on the flight deck for the duration of the experience. For safety, companions are unable to stay in this section. Companions may choose to wait in a specially designated area or take a seat on the experience next to the wheelchair viewing area. Please note: If a paying guest requests assistance from a companion, the companion’s ticket is provided free of charge.

If you anticipate difficulty standing for 30 minutes, please advise one of our team members upon arriving at the attraction. They will accommodate you to the best of their ability, by providing a folding chair at certain points and minimizing the number of stairs you will have to climb. The entire experience is accessible via elevator as well.
