A popular west coast attraction will soon be landing in Toronto.

Modeled after the successful FlyOver attraction in Vancouver, the new “FlyOver Canada location will provide guests with a brand-new flight ride experience featuring the country’s most iconic locations, picturesque landscapes and natural wonders.”

Toronto’s newest tourism attraction will be built near the base of the CN Tower. Construction is expected to start in 2020, with its anticipated opening in early 2022.

Guests will be seated, feet dangling, before a 23-metre x 17.5-metre spherical screen as the film whisks them away on an exhilarating eight-minute journey across Canada.

Special effects, including wind, mist, and scents, combine with the ride’s motion to create a unique and unforgettable experience.

FlyOver Canada in Toronto will complement the location in Vancouver in addition to its new FlyOver Iceland attraction in Reykjavik and FlyOver Las Vegas attraction in Nevada, which is expected to open in 2021.
