Na’vi river worth it?

[carlypaigesmom]

Is it worth it to ride na’vi river if you haven’t watched avatar?

 

[absolutmey]

I might get flamed, but to us, no. Yes, it's cool. It's also very short. If you haven't seen it then I say no way.

ETA: we waited WAY too long to ride and it was pretty hot out so I may be a little biased!

DH and I went on it twice in November and really enjoyed it. I find it beautiful and relaxing. We are definitely going on again this September when we take our boys.

Fan of dark rides ?

For me, it was worth it the first time to see it. After that, it's more "meh".

It's a nice ride, but not worth an extremely long wait. If the wait time is reasonable, then why not? The AA Shaman is very impressive.

I'd say it's worth riding, even if it's just to see what the ride is like, aside from any sort of backstory. I wouldn't be willing to wait long though (RD or FP or if there happens to be a wait under 10 minutes). I'd say all the rides/shows are worth seeing or doing at least once. I'm not a fan of RoL but I'd still tell people to try it themselves because we all like different things.

I like pirates of the carribean but I’ve seen the movies and before that I liked it too I may need to watch avatar

How long is the wait at park opening these days?

There's no reason not to give Avatar a shot. I think it's a really great movie (though many don't agree). If possible, I recommend watching the extended cut that was re-released to theaters about a year after the original run. There is a third cut as well, but I think it's too long and changes some scenes too drastically. The second cut adds just a few touches that I feel enhance the story (and not that much tot he overall run time). I don't know where to find these cuts except for on the Blu-ray, but I'm sure if you look it up you can find it.

I haven't watched "Avatar". I have done Navi River Journey twice with FP+. It's not one of my favorite rides, and for me, it would not be worth a long wait. I think the question is, are there three other attractions you'd rather use FP+ for. If so, I'd probably skip NRJ. At this point with FP+, I can take it or leave it, but without, I'd leave it.

I would equate Navi and Pirates, though I think Pirates is a longer ride? I think it's a beautiful ride and the Shaman at the end is unbelievably cool, but I definitely wouldn't ride if the wait was longer than like 15 minutes. I've seen the movie but don't remember much of it at all. You don't need to to enjoy the ride and the beauty of it.

 

[DizneyMommy]

With a FP or under maybe 20 minute wait, sure. It was a one and done for us. We didn’t feel the need to go again and we do have a major Avatar fan in our party.

Like Pirates but with no real apparent story line and nothing to look at but plants.

we walked right on during EMH, but we also got there fairly early - 45 or so minutes before park opening.

During EMH last week it was 15-30 minutes until park opening. And then it was well over an hour all day

Like Pirates except that Pirates is much longer, has an engaging song, more audio-animatronic characters, and a couple of places where the Pirate boat drops down a small incline.

IMHO, NRJ really isn't all that similar to Pirates, except that both are dark rides on a boat.

 

[Alesia]

I don't think it's worth more than a 10 minute wait

 

[Helvetica]

I think it would be kind of pointless if you haven't seen Avatar. If you can rope drop it after you've seen Avatar, then I'd do it. If you have to use a Fastpass, then I'd skip it.

Flight of Passage is just cool. If you can get a Fastpass for that, you should do it.

 

[Jadyreen1282]

Nope. Not if you are clueless on Avatar. Time better spent visiting the tigers on the trail.
