he Tokyo DisneySea theme park will open on Tuesday its new motion-simulator attraction “Soaring: Fantastic Flight,” in which guests feel as if they are traveling in the air.

Winds blow and smells change along with the scenery. Guests feel as if they are actually flying through the sky through the images and movements of the ride.
