While I enjoy The Simpsons Ride, I hope that FOP is more advanced than that. TSR always leads to me bouncing off of the walls with dizziness on the way out since the resolution of the screen is lacking - and I'm not one to get dizzy on those types of rides.

I am sure it will be different. I think people compare to simpsons with the type of motion. People have been asking a lot about the motion and there isn't a lot to compare it too since it's different than Soarin.

Just curious if you were able to get FP for Pandora at 30 days out ?

April 27th is when I'll be checking 30 days out

 

[CAS239]

I hope it's far different than the Simpsons ride or that's going to prevent a lot of prone motion sickness people to not ride it

Yes sorry, my math was a little off. I went off of my arrival day which is just under 30 days.

I too have the confirmation email and printed it out but haven't received anything else. If there's something else we need to bring to the AP preview, I sure hope they send it out before the 12th. DD(8) and I will be on a plane at 5:45am on the 12th heading to Orlando and I'd hate to track down a printer at the resort to print something else out.

I haven't seen a list on the forum of who has what date and time for the previews.
Our date/time slot is May 13th from 3-5. Anyone else have that time slot or a slot on the the 13th?

May 13th, 12-2

AK CMs will experience the restaurant before all previews on April 20, 21, 25, 26, 27 and 28.

And after this is done, PARTY AT PANDORA!!! This year’s AK CM party will take place in Satu’li Canteen three days after the initial restaurant test period is completed.

How awesome that we'll be lined up at the same time. I'm going to make T-shirt's for DD(8) and I that has some sort of cool Pandora graphic on it specifically for the preview so if you see us, stop and say Hi

You're safe from me! DH is the shopper, I'm the one always reminding him we have nowhere to put all the stuff!

If you're in your 30-day window and don't get the FP you want the first day just keep checking back everyday. I got a SDMT FP the week I was in Orlando during the first year it was open.

So the next Avatar movie date was announced, and it is not coming out until December of 2020.

It's James Cameron. Fans will be lucky if it is out by December 2021.

pretty much has been his history right?
delayed timelines and incredible success

 

[Kindermouse]

yeah-it feels like its basically never coming. The previous dates have been pushed back over and over to the point that its starting to feel like dooms day predictions or something. The day just never seems to arrive.

 

[CAS239]

I bet we'll see the Avatar Sequels before Dr Dre's Detox album.

Some second hand Pandora info from WDWMagic.

My CM friend got to ride Flight of Passage yesterday as part of her training for the ride. She said it was amazing. Apparently waist size may prohibit some riders (one CM did not fit and is on a mandatory diet). And she said if you are over 6'4" it might be uncomfortable. There will be a sample outside the ride entrance to try first.

She says there's almost zero signage, only totem posts for bathrooms and small wait time signs. Nothing that makes it obvious where queue entrances are.

And she saw the bioluminescence for the first time and gushed about how pretty it is.

It's surprising that they've decided to take such a minimal approach to signage. When DAK first opened there was also very little signage, with the thought that it would force guests to explore off the beaten path. Instead, guests got frustrated that they couldn't find what they were looking for, and the park now has more wayfinding signage than any other (including lots of signs pointing to individual attractions, when one for the general land would probably be good enough). It sounds like this is an intentional design "feature", rather that simply not yet being installed

Thank you so much for posting this bit of 1st hand knowledge on FOP from WDWMagic, it just make me even more excited to experience it in a few weeks.

glad to hear there is a sample of the seat for FoP our front. I know of a few people that got to the front of 7DMT and didn't fit and was a bit embarrassing

Thank you for posting your friends experience. I'm so excited for this ride!
