Located in the former "a bug’s land" at Disney California Adventure, Flik’s Flyers was a charming spinner attraction designed for families.

The ride immersed guests in the world of Pixar’s A Bug's Life, making them feel as small as insects. The attraction followed the story of the inventive ant, Flik, who fashioned a flying apparatus using found objects and natural materials. Riders climbed into vehicles made from repurposed human "litter".

​

These baskets were attached to "balloons" crafted from twigs and leaves, which rotated around a central pillar constructed from a pie tin and a whipped-topping container.

During the flight, guests enjoyed a unique perspective of giant grass stalks and clover before their gentle descent back to the ground.
