SkyFly: Soar America

SkyFly: Soar America stands out as one of Pigeon Forge's most impressive modern attractions, offering an immersive flying theater experience that rivals (and according to many visitors, surpasses) similar rides at major theme parks. The main attraction suspends you in front of a massive curved screen while state-of-the-art technology creates the sensation of soaring across America's most spectacular landscapes.

The ride system incorporates multiple sensory effects - gentle motion that matches the film, refreshing breezes, and light water mist - making you feel like you're actually gliding through the scenes. The crystal-clear footage and smooth movement create a convincing illusion of flight that's exciting without being too intense for most family members.

While the main ride experience earns consistently high praise, be prepared for a lengthy pre-show presentation that adds significant time to the total experience. What could be a quick 10-minute ride often becomes a 30-40 minute commitment due to the extended introduction video, which many visitors find unnecessarily long.

The attraction is located at The Island in Pigeon Forge, making it easy to combine with shopping, dining, or other entertainment options in the area. For the best experience, consider visiting during off-peak hours when wait times are shorter. The smooth motion and gentle effects make this suitable for most ages, though those prone to motion sickness may want to sit toward the center of the theater where movement is less pronounced.

This modern addition to Pigeon Forge's entertainment lineup delivers a sophisticated flight simulation experience that captures the majesty of America's diverse landscapes through cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design.
