This review examines the new Soarin Across America attraction at EPCOT, celebrating American patriotism with a flight journey across the United States. The ride begins with a powerful Artemis rocket launch scene at Kennedy Space Center, setting an uplifting tone before traveling through diverse American landscapes. While some scenes featuring iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty suffer from noticeable CGI distortion, the natural scenery throughout most of the flight is praised for its quality and execution. The attraction retains the beloved core elements of previous Soarin versions, including free-flight simulation and immersive scoring, though pacing feels slightly slower than earlier iterations. Critics note that the new musical arrangement by Bruce Broughton is excellent but doesn’t quite match the original score’s impact on scene transitions. Despite minor imperfections, the ride successfully celebrates American diversity and geography, making it a fitting tribute for the nation’s semiquincentennial celebration. The experience concludes with a nighttime flight over EPCOT, bringing the journey full circle in a satisfying manner.
