  We study the AdS Virasoro-Shapiro amplitude in the limit of fixed-angle high
energy scattering. A recent representation as a world-sheet integral allows to
compute the amplitude in this regime by saddle point techniques, very much as
in flat space. This result is then compared to a classical scattering
computation in AdS and agreement is found. As a byproduct of this comparison we
show that AdS curvature corrections exponentiate in the high energy limit.
