Flik’s Flyers

Like all the rides in the Bugs life area, best for kids 5 & under.
Most of line is shaded, which is nice on hot days.
Ride duration is decent, and it is fun to be up in the sky, getting a nice breeze. Buckets go up and down on their own, not controlled by the rider like Dumbo or Astro Orbitor.
Each bucket can easily fit 2 – 3 kids and 3 adults, making it easy for a whole party to ride together.

Like everything in A Bug’s Land, this ride is made to look like, well, bugs made it out of the materials they had on hand, and you’re very small. This means the cars you sit in are made to look like boxes of applesauce, raisins, Chinese take out, circus animals, etc., and the tops above each — to make them look like little hot air balloons — are «leaves» stitched together, and the large container in the middle has nutritional facts stating that this ride fulfills your recommended daily intake of fun (always a dietary concern, in my opinion).
Fun music plays and the cars soar into the air and begin going around to a cheerful tune. Considering the rides in this area being geared toward wee ones, I was surprised by how fast Flik’s Flyers went (they were probably about as high as Dumbo), although sort of bummed by how difficult it was to see over the side of the car (I’M SHORT. TAKE THIS AS A TIP FOR WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR KIDS AND LEAVE ME ALONE), considering I felt like I was being slid toward the inside. The cars flying at a tilt sort of gave me a headache.
Pro tip: if your kid says she wants to ride in the Chinese take-​out box, don’t make her sit in the applesauce car ’cause it’s one closer. All that’s going to happen is she’s going to not only sob for the entirety of the ride, but continue sobbing as you exit the ride… and I’m not sure how much longer after that because I wasn’t interested in finding out, but yeah, I heard what went down. Walk the extra ten steps and save yourself some trouble.

This is a super cute ride that takes you in the air, but not too high and it spins you in a circle at an angle. It’s the first ride you see when you enter A Bug’s Land in California Adventure. You get to ride inside of an animal cracker box or a Chinese takeout box. Each box can fit up to four people. It wasn’t crowded so me and boyfriend had our Chinese takeout box to ourselves. It spins you in the air just enough to get that dizzy but not overly dizzy feeling. Who knew sitting in a takeout box would be so fun? We definitely felt like we were chop suey after!

What a great ride to go on in a hot afternoon! My preschool and I really enjoyed the high heights and getting a cool breeze going! You feel safe inside as it’s enclosed pretty well. We’ll definitely come here again next time!

This is a pretty fun little ride, as long as the wait isn’t too long. Check it out if there isn’t a line.

This ride is superrrrr short! Once you get in the snack box you’re up in the air for what feels like about 45 seconds before you are back on the ground. This ride needs to be much much longer.

I really like this ride. It’s relaxing and pleasant. It’s line is never long and you get a neat view of bug’s land.

As far as children’s attractions go, this one is pretty cool. It probably has the longest wait time out of all the A Bug’s Land attractions. They have little square buckets (Applesauce, Chinese Food, or Cookies) that you sit in. These are the attraction vehicles, and they can fit up to four adults or up to six (if there’s children). They lift you up into the air, and you go in circles that tilt at an angle. It’s quite enjoyable and relaxing for such a simple attraction — for adults and children. (There’s no height limit.)

Very cute little ride. We hit up the Bugs Life area between 10 – 12 and had very minimal waiting. Line moves pretty fast too.

I’m sure kids love it, that’s why it gets 3 stars… But come on Disney, you should be more creative with your ride designs, this is no different than the swings or dumbo or astro orbitor just not as good as the rest.

I had never gotten on this ride ever since California Adventures open. I finally got on it since the line was not even a 5 min wait. Its meant more for little kids because it is slow and not that extreme but it was nice to have a view of California Adventures so I really can’t complain since the wait wasn’t that bad. If you want to enjoy some 1 – 2 Minutes of chill cool breeze than get on this ride. It was sure relaxing for a bit and felt good to be off my feet.

Great flying ride for small kids. Ride isn’t very long though, but the line is typically very short, so you can just jump back in line and get on again within a few minutes.

For now I’m giving this ride three-​stars. It’s a super cute ride to observe (from below) and watch the adorable Chinese take-​out food containers and Animal cracker boxes twirl above you round and round, but not as fun for my little toddler and I to be on. Personally for me it makes me feel dizzy, so I always try to focus my eyes at landmarks in a distance, look at the sky or close my eyes for the short ride. My daughter on the other hand is tiny, so she can’t see out once she’s strapped in. I think that’s why she barely asks to go onto this ride since there’s no real excitement for her.
In the meantime she’ll enjoy the spinning ladybugs, bumper bugs and Bug’s Life Show in Bugs Land, which is fine with me.

You spin me round, round baby, round, round. Flik’s Flyers is located in A Bugs Land and my kids love this ride. The wait is minimal and the ride itself is a quick one.
The ride is cute because of the boxes you fly in. My favorite flying cart is the Chinese food box and my kids love the cookie box. Regardless which box we ride, my family and I usually get dizzy inside Flik’s Flyers.

Super fun, albeit short. It’s more fun than it actually looks from the non-​existent line. You can go twice on a weekday and it would only take about 10 or 15 minutes. I great ride to go on in between those bigger rides. I think it’d be perfect for young kids, like 4 or 5 years old. Also fun for the kid at heart. :P

Flik created a flying contraption where Guests can ride in giant discarded food containers and «fly» in circles among the clovers and blades of grass in «a bug’s land».
There is no height requirement to ride. Lap seating is permitted on this attraction. And the ride time is approximately 90 seconds
When it comes to the small «fliers», the containers (ride vehicles) are a little tall, so if they sit on the seat, they may not see the great views the taller ones are able to see

Located in «A Bug’s Land» in California Adventure, this is an adoration flying ride that is great for little ones!
My 11 month old daughter had a great time on this ride, as did my husband and I !
Short wait time and good stroller parking.
Only drawback, is it made me really dizzy. But my daughter didn’t seem to be bothered by the ride at all.

Flik’s Flyers is a great part of A Bug’s Land in California Adventure.
Even though it seems to advocate flying in garbage. (Maybe its more like recycling your garbage.)
You get to zoom around and fly through the air in an old food carton with leaves and other «bug» stuff holding it together. Just like many of the other rides in A Bug’s Land it is not a very long ride and never seems to have much of a line so it is an awesome way to keep the kids happy while spending the day at California Adventure.
And if the kids are happy, you are happy, right?
