Like you, I didn't ride Soarin until maybe my 5th or 6th trip to DCA over the past few years. I finally got up the nerve to ride and of course, I get to ride the highest level in the very middle. But after that, I rode it many times and am sad that I could've ridden it many more times if I had just gotten up the nerve. This past trip, I finally got up the nerve to go in Indy but I only made it through the queue and chickened out right before boarding. I think it was the video that they show that did it. And now that I've moved from CA, I won't have the chance to try again for a few years. But I'm glad you had such a great time!

And sorry again if my original response was a bit on the blunt side. Just wanted you to go for it and YOU DID!!!!!

Originally Posted By danyoung Yeah, I'd say between 10 and 15 feet. Not high at all. But even in the upper row, the only way you can really tell how high you are is to look straight down. And why would you do that when there's this wonderful screen in front of you?

Very effective! < Wow, I never noticed that. That makes a lot more sense though. I suppose that's where the smells come from too. I'll have to stop watching the scenery and pay more attention next time, lol. Thanks, Dan.
