After checking in at the Grizzly Peak Airfield, fasten your seat belt and take off (as if hang gliding) before a giant, 80ft projection screen that really makes you feel like you're over the Swiss Alps, Egyptian pyramids, Sydney Harbour, Mt Kilimanjaro, and more. Water and air effects enhance the experience. FastPass accepted.
