As guests glide through each scene, the ride utilizes innovative scent machines strategically placed throughout the theater. These machines, called Smellitzers,\u00a0 release scents that correspond to the locations featured in the ride, such as the fragrance of blossoming cherry blossoms in Japan or the refreshing aroma of ocean mist in the South Pacific. This multi-sensory experience enhances the realism and transports riders even further into the various destinations they are exploring.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Patrick-Warburton.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Patrick-Warburton.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Patrick-Warburton-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Patrick-Warburton-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Patrick-Warburton-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Both US versions of Soarin&#8217; are introduced in the pre-show by Patrick Warburton (<em>Seinfeld, Hercules TV Series, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command TV Series, The Tick, Men In Black, and Rules of Engagement <\/em>to name a few<em>). <\/em>Patrick gives a safety briefing as a Flight Attendant as if you were boarding an aircraft.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fun_Extras_More_on_the_Smellitzer\"><\/span>Fun Extras: More on the Smellitzer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Smellitzer is a remarkable piece of technology created by Disney almost 50 years ago that has found its place in various attractions and places across Walt Disney World, including the iconic Soarin&#8217; attractions. This innovative device is responsible for introducing scents into the immersive experiences, creating a multisensory journey for guests.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever noticed that as you walk past the Main Street Bakery you smell cinnamon rolls? Yeah, the ovens are not responsible for that scent (there aren&#8217;t any!).

With a belly full of turkey and a mind brimming with creativity, Alex pondered the idea of designing a groundbreaking attraction that would take guests on a breathtaking journey around the world.<\/p>\n<p>As the rest of the family enjoyed their post-feast conversations, Mark&#8217;s attention was fixated on the Erector Set gifted by a doting aunt. With a vision taking shape in his mind, Mark&#8217;s nimble fingers worked their magic, connecting the metal pieces to create a miniature structure resembling an aircraft.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Ride-Vehicle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Ride-Vehicle.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Ride-Vehicle-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Ride-Vehicle-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Ride-Vehicle-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the exhilaration of flying, Mark envisioned guests being suspended in the air, soaring over majestic landscapes. But how could this dream become a reality? Determined to find a solution, Mark grabbed a handful of additional Erector Set pieces and meticulously crafted a seat that could be suspended in front of a curved screen.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the family watched in awe as Mark&#8217;s imagination came to life, even in the form of a humble Erector Set model. Encouraged by their support, Mark began to envision scenes from around the world, vividly picturing the iconic landmarks, natural wonders, and cultural treasures that could be showcased in the attraction.<\/p>\n<p>And so, it was on that fateful Thanksgiving Day, fueled by passion, ingenuity, and the power of imagination, that an aspiring Imagineer named Mark Sumner used a kid&#8217;s Erector Set as the foundation for one of the most beloved attractions in the world. The legacy of his innovative spirit continues to soar, reminding us all that dreams, no matter how humble their beginnings, have the power to take us to extraordinary heights.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30327\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Ride-Vehicles.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Ride-Vehicles.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Ride-Vehicles-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Ride-Vehicles-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPCOT-Soarin-Around-the-World-Ride-Vehicles-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The combination of the ride vehicle, the stunning scenes, and the integration of scent technology makes Soarin&#8217; Around the World an extraordinary attraction that captivates the imagination.
