This may be a dumb question but i was curious...those that have been on SOARIN in epcot, do you think a 3 1/2 year old can go on that ride?

There is actually very little, and very mild "swooping" in Soarin'. When I described it to guests, I likened it to watching an IMAX film in a rocking chair with your feet dangling. There really is not much more motion than that. The only true "swoops" come at the very beginning and very end, as the vehicle acends to and decends from its "up" position. Even these are very mild, and it is fairly dark at the time, so you really don't feel much movement at all. Overall, I would rate Soarin' around a 2 out of 10 for scariness (a little higher if you're very afraid of heights, though, but not much more at all). The movie itself is very sedate, and not scary in any respect.I was going to post a similar question. My Wife, 6 year old Daughter and I psyched our self out of riding Soarin last October due the the "fear of heights" warning.
Does the Ride.....Swoop. i mean does it move quickly toward the screen so that the movie mixed with the ride would be even more scary? We all have some height issues but would really like to ride it.
If there is goign to be some spoiler info you could personal message me or send me an email. I wish there was a ride through video or something!
But that was a good tip about riding in the back rows.

I love that analogy; it's perfect! I am also afraid of heights, and I thought Soarin' was THE best ride in all of WDW. (I was in Row 2 both times I rode it.) With Soarin', as well as Star Tours and Mission:Space Green, I found that if the motion seemed too intense at some point, I'd just close my eyes for a second and it would decrease the intensity quite a bit.
