Flyover’s newest immersive experience, Believe Chicago, follows successful runs in both Chicago and Las Vegas. Get 13,000 feet “into the air” as you swoop over the Windy City’s iconic architecture, Lake Michigan, Millennium Park (The Bean in a rare uncrowded moment!), Randolph Street, Riverwalk, a car chase and more.
Believe Chicago is the company’s first-ever show set entirely in an urban city. I’ve been to many Flyover shows over the years, but this one truly stands out, immersing you in the city’s richness and beauty. If you’ve got guests visiting from out of town, this is a wonderful way to combine waterfront views with fun entertainment (BC residents get a discounted fare as well).
The 10-minute show blends advanced real aerial cinematography with state-of-the-art drones developed exclusively for Flyover to offer an exceptional perspective of the city, beginning with a short film screened in the round.
Flight motion seats are engineered to swoop, dip, and turn to mimic the feeling of flight, while a 20-meter (65-foot) spherical screen provides an unparalleled journey across over a dozen locations and natural landscapes.
Created in collaboration with Chicago-based artists and Canadian production partners (including Sherpas Cinema and Revered Cinema), the fan-favourite film successfully blends local perspectives with Flyover’s signature cinematic approach.
Not only will you experience the city from all angles, but you’ll get wind, mist, and scent during key moments. Acclaimed composer Elliott Wheeler’s original soundtrack features emerging musicians, choirs, and artists who helped to shape Believe Chicago’s emotional tone.
