Flyover is a flying theater attraction. The first Flyover attraction opened in 2013 at Canada Place in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. The ride takes guests on a virtual flight across Canada, utilizing ride equipment for up to 61 people at a time into a 19m (62 foot) diameter spherical screen and employs wind, mist, and scents to enhance the experience.[2][3][4] It has since opened at the Mall of America in the US, and downtown Reykjavík, Iceland, and in Las Vegas with plans to open a ride in Toronto.
