Disney released photos from filming in the Grand Canyon for Soarin’ Across America, a new version of Soarin’ coming to EPCOT and Disney California Adventure for the U.S.A.’s 250th birthday.

Soarin’ Across America Goes to the Grand Canyon

One pic is from inside the helicopter, looking out at the canyon. Another shows the helicopter flying between the rock walls.

Walt Disney Imagineering previously shared a behind-the-scenes look at filming in unknown locations. They used satellite mapping, aerial path modeling, and a variety of helicopter rigs, camera lenses, and heavy-lift drones to film.

This new adventure showcases the natural beauty and iconic cityscapes of the United States. Like other versions of Soarin’, it will include a unique score and scents.

Soarin’ Across America will open on May 26 at EPCOT, immediately after Memorial Day, and on July 2 at Disney California Adventure, in time for the 4th of July. It will run for a limited time.
