Is that based on capacity (I couldn't find the metric)?

Based on what we know about capacity yes. We don't know actual numbers yet but the boat ride will be similar to frozen. Whereas the banshee will be similar to Soarin yet this has four theaters to Soarins three.

Smart. At least on the part of Banshee. Much better to have folks churning through the experience than standing in the queue. On the other hand, I'm surprised that the boat ride is Frozen capacity. That seems like a serious planning error.

So will only certain resorts are going to get access to the Pandora EMH?

All will as far as I'm aware.

Probably the more expensive options only

Do we know about the queue process at all in standby vs FP? I assume everyone will get to go through the scanning process to make your avatar whether you go FP or standby, right? Wonder about the queue for the boat ride if there are interactive elements only get on the standby

Nothing more known about the queue at this time unfortunately.

Not necessarily. Disney tends to put select on a lot of things.

But Flight probably has more moving parts and could be a trickier technology than the boat ride with a higher possibility to break down occasionally in the early days. I was hoping the boat ride would be a consistent people-eater somewhat like Pirates, but maybe it's not.

It could be but based on everything we know the boat ride will be closer to Frozen in capacity terms.

As long as you have your AP number linked to your account yes.
