Coming to Navy Pier: a Chicago 'Flyover' experience

(WBBM NEWSRADIO) – Chicago is getting a first look at Navy Pier's newest attraction, an immersive experience that will be coming to the old IMAX theater.

Flyover Chicago – a first-of-its-kind thrill ride -- will open to the public March 1 within 48,000 square feet at the lakefront venue.


Riders will be transported through and above some of Chicago's most iconic skyscrapers, landmarks and neighborhoods, through unique drone photography.

"You really feel like you're flying. You feel like you're there," writer-director David Mossop said Wednesday during a media preview.

This is Flyover's fourth attraction. The ride is already in Reykjavik, Iceland, Vancouver, Canada and Las Vegas. Mossop said the Chicago presentation is different because of the cityscape.

"The prospect of making a Flyover ride here in the city, in an urban jungle, was new for us," he said.
