Sep 2026
Everyone working here was polite and made sure people could catch all the different shows. They keep the groups pretty small, so nothing ever felt too packed and everything moved along without a hitch. Each of the three parts was quick and offered its own bit about this amazing country. It kicks off with what it’s like being icelandic, then you get a taste of the history and culture, and finally you’re thrown into the really immersive part. Heads up, if you get dizzy easily, bring some motion sickness meds. I caught myself trying to lift my legs when we zipped over the rivers and ducking down through the arches—the whole thing messes with your senses, I swear! You actually feel mist and smell scents, which makes it even wilder to sit there and see so many Icelandic landscapes without moving. The stories about trolls and all the background stuff were great, and the itself was just next-level cool. The whole place was spotless. Only thing that was a bit unclear was how the free shuttle works.

Had an awesome time . Liked it enough that we grabbed a second ride at half price – that one was called “Chicago.” It felt kind of funny seeing Chicago’s skyline here, but it was seriously fun. The part with the kids’ choir really got to me – kind of made me proud to be an American, not going to lie.

is such a fun way to wrap up a trip! We had a blast, even if the whole thing felt a bit quick.

Had a total blast. Rides like these are just my thing.

Right after your ticket gets checked, you’re sort of herded into a line for photos—which they push pretty hard, and it really dragged things out. The couple ahead of us had to say no several times before they were allowed to skip the picture, and when we refused, we were told it was somehow part of the experience. After a few more "no thanks," we were let , but the staff member wasn’t thrilled. The two intro videos at the start felt kind of pointless and didn’t add much for me. The flying part was a lot of fun though, and if you haven’t tried this type of thing before, you’ll probably enjoy it. Would’ve been better if they weren’t so insistent about the photo.

What to expect

Pre-show: The Longhouse

The Longhouse is the first of two original pre-show experiences and introduces you to Iceland through stories, mythology, and nature.

Features

In The Longhouse pre-show you are welcomed by an Icelandic storyteller inside an ancient Viking longhouse, where shadow-play projection brings traditional tales to life around the room.

This History, Mythology and Nature segment acts as one of the two pre-ride shows exploring the roles of nature, time and humankind in Iceland, setting the tone before you fly.

Pre-show: The Well of Time

The Well of Time deepens the story by tracing Iceland’s past and its relationship with powerful natural forces.

Features

During The Well of Time pre-show, you step into an immersive exploration of Iceland’s history with music, video, imagery and sound guided by SúVitra, creating a bridge between legends and lived experience.

This segment functions as the second of the two original pre-show experiences, shaping an immersive adventure through stories of Iceland, its people and natural forces before you continue to the flying theatre.

Flying theatre experience: Legendary Iceland

FlyOver Iceland is an immersive flying theatre in Reykjavík that uses motion technology and a 20-meter spherical screen to simulate flight over Iceland’s landscapes, people, and natural wonders. The 30-minute experience combines sensory effects, music, and storytelling, with Legendary Icelandserving as the year-round anchor film.

Features

Full motion seating for a true sense of flight places your feet dangling in front of a wraparound 20-metre spherical screen, so the projected scenery fills your entire field of view.

Special effects including wind, mist and scents, combined with a lush musical score throughout the ride, heighten the sensation of gliding over glaciers, coastlines, and volcanic terrain.

Flight guides and resident troll SúVitra introduce the experience and connect its storytelling moments, helping bring Iceland’s history, mythology, and nature to life.
