An exciting new ride in Seattle will have you soaring over some of our state's most scenic landmarks. It's called Wings Over Washington.
Soar past the seaside cliffs of the Olympic National Forest. Zoom over the San Juan Islands. Float among colorful balloons over Walla Walla wineries
On Wings Over Washington, you're not just watching a movie, you're going along for the ride in a flying theater.
“The biggest challenge for me as a filmmaker is to always get the shot,” says creative director Brent Young, who filmed from low-flying, fast-moving helicopters.“In some instances, we're going well over a hundred miles an hour. It's stressful. It's a very stressful environment you're in.”
If you're like most local visitors you may walk away from the ride feeling more than a shred of Washington pride.
“There was a gentleman who rode not too long ago, got off the ride and said, ‘This really brought tears to my eyes,'" says Young.”And I've heard that more than once."
