Many cultures have different connotations on what a rainbow is, having made their theories long before science revealed it to just be reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets. One common idea is that this arch of color is used as a vehicle for otherworldly beings. This form of Not Quite Flight can be read in a number of ways. Maybe they are Sky Surfing, treating the front-end of a rainbow as a surf-board surfing across the ocean of clouds. Perhaps the rest of the rainbow is a vapor trail that refracts the many colors through the air. Maybe rainbows are giant snakes that eat elephants and people and the user is just their owner, the snake their mighty steed. Sub-Trope of Everything's Better with Rainbows. Compare with Flying on a Cloud, Ride the Lightning and Stairway to Heaven. See also All Your Colors Combined, Rainbow Lite and Rainbow Motif. |

The Fairly Oddparents: Possibly as a deliberate Shout-Out to the Bifrost (as Butch Hartman is known to be a big comic-book geek), a rainbow bridge is the "official" entrance to Fairy World. Abra-Catastrophe! lampshades its general superfluousness, when Jorgen destroys it in response to everything going to shit in the human world: | |

Every game in the Mario Kart series features Rainbow Road as its final track, in which the racers drive on a rainbow floating in space (or in one case, above a city). It is so iconic to the Mario series that it appeared in a number of other games, such as a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U or a pathway to the final dungeon in the climax of Paper Mario: Color Splash. | |

Avengers: Infinity War: Following the destruction of Asgard, Heimdall is shown to be capable of using this power in short intervals, such as when he sent the Hulk back to Earth after Thanos defeats him. When Thor later receives the weapon Stormbreaker from Eitri the dwarf, he is able to use it to summon the Bifrost at will. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: The Bifrost is a form of dimensional energy harnessed through a crystalline, prismatic "rainbow bridge". Asgardians use this energy as a means of traveling across the universe in Faster-Than-Light Travel fashion. Thor: Bifrost is harnessed and controlled through Heimdall's Observatory on the edge of Asgard. Should the Bifrost be left open for too long, the energy becomes destructive and is capable of destroying planets, as is what almost happened to Jotunheim. Avengers: Infinity War: Following the destruction of Asgard, Heimdall is shown to be capable of using this power in short intervals, such as when he sent the Hulk back to Earth after Thanos defeats him. When Thor later receives the weapon Stormbreaker from Eitri the dwarf, he is able to use it to summon the Bifrost at will. Thor: Love and Thunder: By channeling Stormbreaker's energy through a mechanical ship (repurposed from a carnival ride at New Asgard and drawn by two massive goats), the ship and all its passengers are able to travel on the Biforst like a transdimensional roadway. |

In the Douwe Dabbert episode The Road to West, while walking over the eponymous magical road Douwe wonders how people on the other end will react to a road floating in the sky appearing out of nowhere. The narrator then explains that "things are not as Douwe thinks" and the scene shifts to a ship with the crew marveling at the magnificent rainbow in the sky. However, the helmsman and one of the officers do notice that something is off, as they know rainbows can normally only be seen with the sun at one's back. | |
