You step into the cool, dim pre-show room and the hum of the city fades into a narrated pulse of coastlines and communities. The preflight briefing feels like a backstage pass to the country; then the boarding zone opens and you slide into a seat with your feet suspended before a three-story spherical screen. When the ride launches, wind and mist meet your face and the screen pulls the country toward you — peaks that dare you to lean forward, salt-spray that pushes your attention to the coast.
