An immersive flight-simulator is coming next to the CN Tower (RENDERINGS)

The design for the new FlyOver Canada attraction in Toronto has been released.

The attraction, which will be located at the base of the CN Tower, is set to begin development later this year, with the flight simulator expected to open in 2022.

Led by award-winning Sturgess Architecture (_SA), the “bold design, inspired by the concept of movement and intended to create a visual connection between visitors to the attraction and the outside space, will feature architectural design elements including a striking open-air atrium, dramatic ascending staircase, and exterior promenade,” according to FlyOver Canada.

“We pride ourselves on expanding the boundaries of innovative design and are thrilled to continue our relationship with Pursuit to develop such a dynamic project,” said Jeremy Sturgess, Founder, _SA.

“Pursuit’s intention behind their guest experiences and attractions enable us to drive our creativity and explore the boundaries of architecture, and we look forward to bringing this exciting new experience to life.”

Once built, the new attraction will feature a brand-new ride film showcasing Canada’s most awe-inspiring sights.

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