According to the resort, the attraction will remain operational throughout the expansion period, ensuring continuous guest access to the ride. The enhanced version will maintain its original route, allowing visitors to soar above iconic locations worldwide before concluding with a new ending sequence featuring the Shanghai Disney Resort itself.

The expansion of Soaring Over the Horizon comes amid several other major development projects at the resort. Construction is currently underway on the park's ninth themed land, which will feature Spider-Man as its centerpiece, as well as the resort's third themed hotel.

Additionally, a new residential community for cast members is being built to provide more convenient housing options for front-line staff members and interns.
