Chicago’s Navy Pier now has a thrilling new attraction called, appropriately enough, Flyover.
Using drones, Flyover is an exhilarating video that includes footage of climbing skyscrapers 13,000 ft. high to diving straight down buildings, skimming sidewalks, swooping into iconic landmarks like the Chicago Theatre and floating though fireworks. Some of the iconic Chicago destinations shown include Navy Pier, North Ave Beach, Lake Shore Drive, the Chicago Theatre and the Joffrey Ballet.
It is shown on a 65-foot spherical screen with flight motion seats engineered to swoop, dip and turn, giving guests the feeling of flight. It is a complete sensory immersion using wind, mist and even scents.
Along the way, it tells the story of Chicago with people and places that make the city so, well, Chicago. Among the people included are acclaimed musician Corey Wilkes, Walt Whitman from the Soul Children’s Choir and Wrigley Field announcer Jeremiah Paprocki.
“Through this immersive storytelling experience, we wanted to capture the rich diversity of Chicagoans, their resiliency and the vibrant neighborhoods that weave the fabric of such an exceptional city,” said Lisa Adams, COO and Executive Producer, Flyover Attractions. “Chicago’s flying journey will ultimately engage and entertain viewers with a thrilling immersive urban experience that pushes the boundaries of escape.”
Other Flyover attractions are in Las Vegas, Reykjavik, Iceland and Vancouver, Canada.
Tickets are $24.95. It’s website is: Flyover in Chicago (experienceflyover.com)
