Expected to open in spring 2024, FlyOver replaces Navy Pier’s longtime IMAX theater, located near the Centennial Wheel on the west end of the pier.

The ride will also feature films projected on a 65-foot wrap-around screen that will showcase Chicago as well as iconic landscapes from around the globe. The attraction will provide a multi-sensory experience, complete with mist, wind and scents.
