Amazing Flights of Passage

[deuceswild10]

Just did it today for the first time. Truly amazing! It is a joyful and thrilling experience. I won't give anything away, but it's the best ride I've ever done!!

 

[old feller]

Agreed.I was blown away.

 

[SaintsManiac]

Considering that my entire FP plan revolves around getting as many as I can for it, yes, I agree with you!

 

[KenHutch]

We did it for the 1st time on June 4th and the 8 year old liked it so much we went back an hour before closing and rode it a 2nd time on Standby

 

[KelNChrisKYDis]

Agreed, it's amazing! Wish I could go back and ride it again for the first time... it was so unexpectedly awesome that first time. Subsequent rides are also great, but nothing will beat that first ride.

I was able to do it twice on my last trip. It makes it hard to ride other rides and not wonder what could be.....

FoP is the one ride at Disney that makes me wish for Universal's Express Pass. I think I might spend a full day riding it over and over and over and over..... (which is exactly why Disney doesn't do EP)

I will mention, we've recently watched Avatar again and it is truly amazing how close the ride and areas in Pandora are to the looks and designs in the movie. I mean, I had seen the movie a lot, even watched with DGD before we went for the opening in the land last year. But even then, I hadn't put the 2 and 2 together quite like I did when we saw the movie again last week, after visiting Pandora numerous times over the past 13 months. They put in a level of detail I'm not sure many realize. And FoP, watch the scene where Jake joins with his Banshee the first time again sometime. It's like you are riding FoP

Agreeing with all the PPs. FoP is Disney outdoing itself--and causing me to spend at least part of every day of each WDW trip at DAK.

I'd tried watching the movie twice in the last few years and turned it off both times, even though I'm a big sci-fi fan. But after doing FoP and NRJ I thought I'd give the movie another chance. You'd think that seeing the movie would give extra depth and interest to the rides, but, for me, it was the other way around--doing the rides gave extra depth and interest to the movie!

ETA: Actually, I disagree with something a PP said, because I find that every time I do the ride it's better than the first time, sometimes astoundingly better.

The four of the us we so blown away that I actually got watery eyes when we were done!

Funny you mention that. We've been incredibly lucky to get FP for this a lot. AK has always been my favorite park so we always do it 2 times each trip, now 3 is not unusual and we've managed to get FoP as an additional FP quite a few times, with some very persistent searching.. So we'll manage 3, 4 rides on FoP each trip, and with 6 or 7 trips, we've gotten to ride it more than 20 times, easily. It wasn't until a trip in April that I noticed you do a barrel roll during the ride. I don't know how I never noticed it before

This!

Much about WDW can make me a little teary, but I never thought a single attraction (and one that is really not Disney-related in any way) could have that effect. It's an incredible experience.

 

[Elsaspiritanimal]

Agreed! This is why we still rope drop with the crazies even though we have a fast pass for it later in the day!

 

[smallworldnh]

It literally took my breath away my first time. I actually gasped when the screen opened up. SO beautifully done! (I just don't like those glasses! )

 

[KristiMc]

I rode it last Thursday for the first time. I was able to do EMH RD and was off the ride by 8:10 and then had a FP for later. Great attraction.

Don't know the last time you rode but they did get new ear pieces in March, so they fit much better now

 

[Arianabtd]

I love love love FOP... I've even had dreams about riding it again

 

[lovethattink]

Agreed. It's my favorite attraction! So we'll done!

I hope so!

My niece rode it for the 1st time last week, got nauseous, rode Expedition Everest and threw up.
