The original ride film, which lasts four minutes and 51 seconds, takes guests on a simulated hang-glider tour of California. Appropriate scents (citrus, pine, sagebrush, ocean mist) fill the air as the ride vehicles move gently to simulate the sensations of flight. In addition to the state's various landscapes, it also highlights its diverse recreation, including [[snow skiing]], river [[rafting]], [[kayaking]], [[golf]], [[horseback riding]], [[hot air ballooning]], [[surfing]], and [[hang gliding]]. Its locations are:

The original ''Soarin{{'}} Over California'' ride film at both Disney California Adventure and Epcot has an orchestral score by [[Jerry Goldsmith]], who is said to have come down from his first ride in tears. In addition to finding it visually beautiful and magical, he said that his father was a pilot who loved all things Californian. "I'd do anything to be part of this project," Goldsmith said. "I'd even score the film for free."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.laughingplace.com/News-ID115170.asp |title=The new Disney California Adventure Official Album |access-date=September 9, 2009 |author=Jim Hill Media |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081010143938/http://www.laughingplace.com/News-ID115170.asp |archive-date=October 10, 2008  }}</ref> His soundtrack plays during the entire attraction, starting with a crescendo in the low [[String instrument|strings]] while the screen is still dark. Numerous variations of a serene theme for [[French horn|horn]] and strings are heard, and several statements of a fanfare accompanies the grandest vistas. The original ride score was included on [[Disneyland Resort]] and Walt Disney World official albums, including ''[[Walt Disney Records: The Legacy Collection#Disneyland|Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection: Disneyland]]''. It continues to be heard as ambient music in the Disneyland Resort Esplanade and Epcot's entrance plaza.
