***Disclaimer, I am NOT going to do this, just thought about it and wondered ****

Sitting on two FoP rider swap tickets good until May 31 ... wondering how much I could sell them for ?

Seriously though, our plan is to give them to someone getting off the magic express on friday while we are waiting to leave. Should be a nice kick-start to their trip.

Are these from the preview? It is possible if from the preview they may not be valid on actual opening. It depends on what they say.

I imagine he probably did ride but no guarantee if he did or if he snuck out after filming. It looks like the restraint is pretty clear at his legs so he should have been okay but I'd feel more comfortable if there was a shot with him with restraints engaged.

There is no way he didn't ride it. I enlarged the photo and lightened it so that the leg paddle area could be clearly seen. It appears that there are no leg paddles on that ride vehicle, which if he didn't fit, is a way to override it. I think that photo may have been taken before assembly of that ride vehicle was complete.

I've seen him up close during the previews and was close to him again today at the dedication, and IMO, he fits.

From the preview, but they are standard rider swap tickets, good til May 31 for up to 3 people

As the photo shows, the sign had nothing to do with the test seat, it was for WC transitioning.

It appears that the test seat, and there is only one currently, is not for self use. A CM will conduct the test and tell the guest whether they are in the green zone and will be able to ride FoP, or in the red zone and cannot. It's a fully functioning seat with the back and leg constraints.

I'm actually happy about the CM being there. Some unsupervised test seats are almost impossible to try out. People treat the Gringotts test seat in WWoHP like a bench to rest on.

Because I was so close to the stage, me, or parts of me, appear in many videos, especially this one.

That's what threw me off was the restraints didn't even look in yet. I do think he could ride I just didn't want to say that was hard core proof since the restraints aren't engaged/probably aren't even there.

Anyone see this from tonight? Looks like they had drones flying above Tree of Life to make flying lights.

@rteetz was it disney that ran the drone and generic clips they gave media or did itm get permission?

 

[BuckeyeBama]

Is Pandora open for walk throughs by guests today, or totally closed at the entrance. I might swing by to check out the bioluminesence tonight if they are allowing it.

We are headed to Animal Kingdom on Monday. I did not get fastpasses for either of the 2 rides in Pandora. Do any of you think it will be possible to be at early magic hours rope drop to score at least one of the rides? TIA.

Your chances are as good as anyone else's. I'd arrive early, 60-90 min early, and then walk quickly to the ride of your choice
