What Flyover does
Flyover Attractions operates a portfolio of immersive flying theater attractions across four tourist destinations — Las Vegas, Vancouver, Chicago, and Reykjavik (Iceland) — using motion-based seating platforms synchronized with large-format aerial media content, wind, and scent effects to simulate flights over iconic landscapes. The core product is the flying theater experience, where custom-filmed and CGI-augmented aerial footage is paired with proprietary ride motion engineering to deliver a 6-DOF flight sensation. The combined business has welcomed over 9 million guests cumulatively across all venues.
The company generates revenue through direct-to-consumer ticket sales at each venue, targeting tourists, families, and leisure visitors in major destination cities through destination tourism partnerships, on-site marketing, and travel operator channels. Flyover sells individual admission tickets per experience; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company operates as a vertically integrated producer of both the ride technology (now linked to acquirer Brogent Technologies' flying ride platform) and the destination-specific content library, giving it end-to-end control from engineering to creative to on-site operations.
Flyover is currently a business unit of Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRSU), which in January 2026 agreed to divest the business to Brogent Technologies Inc. (TWSE-listed flying ride technology leader) for approximately USD 78.4 million (~15x 2025 adjusted EBITDA). The transaction closing deadline was extended to July 31, 2026 pending regulatory approvals. Headcount is 101-250; legal and operational entities are based in Canada, the US, and Iceland, with the acquiring holding entity incorporated in the Netherlands (Flyover Attractions B.V.).
