I got in line at 1:30ish and am still in the caves area.

Update: I am now out of the lab and into the room with the banshee mural (is there an official name for this room?). Note: it's 4:12pm and I got in line at 12:19pm.

Wow! Makes me appreciate passholder preview even more.

Someone answered your question about motion sickness.

Every individual is different, but you'll likely be fine on the ride. Many say it's like a mix of Star Tours and Soarin. It's Soarin on steroids. My wife hates Star Tours, meh on Soarin..and didn't care for FoP but she did fine on it. She gets motion sickness but she didn't throw up or get sick after riding FoP. She mainly disliked it because she doesn't like the feeling of her stomach dropping.

I'd take Dramamine just in case if you're worried, but I'd definitely give the ride a shot. If you can do Soarin, you can do FoP.

Worst Case........Yell protein spill, and walk away

Can you see the area where they send you to the boarding area yet?

Yes. There are a lot of upset people because they're sending in 5 standby at a time with fp streaming in consistently

FP line was out of the building when I was in the caves.

You can't quit now! You've made the commitment. This happened to us to ride Kingda Ka when it first opened boasted as the fastest and tallest coaster. We got in what we thought was a 2hr line which quickly grew to a 3hr wait and at that point were too far invested to quit. All I can say is this ride will deliver. our whole riding group of strangers could not help but hoot and holler the first time.

I'm reading FP queue is backed up so I'm wondering if the ride went down today.

The line was moving more when I first got in and then it slowed down and has only moved in bigger chunks from people leaving the queue that are giving up.

The Na'vi in the ride are j going to the shaman to join in the chant. Its what they do in the movie

See that is where some narration during the ride would help. I had no clue what anything was or what was going on. We passed the Na'vi on right and thought it would be nice if he joined the boat (via a speaker) to tell us about the plants, animals, where they were going etc. I get the whole non-Disney being part of it .......... but in the long run I see most guests coming out of NRJ perplexed.

I mean we are entering a world of a "species" and yet they are glaringly absent.

And while I was wowed by the movement and high tech of the shaman .......... I didn't like the presentation. All I wanted was to see ONE standing and tall, and there she/he is sitting and .......... don't laugh .......... all I focused on was her/his huge foot.

 

[dina444444]

The line just started picking up immensely so they must be letting more standby people through since I haven't seen groups of people walking back through the line to exit.

omg. I couldn't look away from that foot either. It was huge and didn't move. too funny.

I guess the long line is making people annoyed, but that is typically the way any FP line works.

Something's definitely wrong. I wonder what's going on?

So dumb. It's just a piece of paper. Can't believe people are dumb enough to pay for them.

To each their own. People pay all the time for limited stuff that they might not be able to get themselves in person

 

[dina444444]

My guess is a theatre or 2 were down.

[dina444444]

I'm almost out of the bioluminescence room. We are moving in much bigger chunks now then we were the last 2 hours.

And I thought it was crazy when it took me 1 hour during my preview to get from the bioluminescent "outdoor" area to get off the ride.
