Fly Over Canada in Coal Harbour, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Fly Over Canada is a theme park like amusement ride that simulates you flying across Canada from East to West. First, you enter a room for a pre-flight movie that is projected onto the walls. Then you enter the boarding area where you are given safety instructions. Then, you are led into the ride. You are buckled into a seat, the floor is taken away and a movie is projected on the screen in front of you. There are parts of this ride where water vapour is sprayed into your face to simulate water splashing up, for example, when you fly through clouds. The ride shows a little bit of the beauty of Canada.
There are a lot of stairs that we had to walk as part of this ride. We saw elevators for disabled passengers, but this ride may be strenous for some. Also, there are a few parts of the film that make it seem you are at very high altitude and then suddenly go downwards. If you are afraid of heights or get dizzy easy, this ride may not be for you.
Overall, this ride is good for a quick physical overview of Canada.
