I don't believe you design the avatar but you are scanned to create one. It's not like you'll get to sit there and pick the color and hair style of your avatar. I also don't think you'll see your avatar riding the banshee but I could be wrong on that part.

Perhaps that's why there's the plexiglass screen to project each person's Avatar. The Avatars have to appear somewhere to tie into the ride experience.

That screen/wall in front of the vehicle in the nightline photo is actually supposed to lift up like a garage door and you will be put into the projection dome. This is at least what I have heard.

We're just going to have to wait for photos and reviews - the seating contraption looks confusing.

I was going to post about the potential for tacky jokes, but some of you have already taken off with that option and run . . . .

I believe that it is my job, nay, my responsibility as a long time Disser and moderator to point out these sort of things

There is a possibility, I repeat, possibility, that some light will be shed on some of these questions late next Monday night.

But will it be bioluminescent?

HEAR HEAR!!!

I don't think I've heard the word "bio-luminescence" as many times in my entire life as I've heard during the last 3 months.

And it isn't likely to stop anytime soon is it?

I'm seriously hoping they let people share what FoP is like. I need to know before I go!

Unless you're going to the first preview after the CM previews, then you'll hear all about the ride and see pics/videos by the time you go

That's what I'm hoping for. I watch POV videos on youtube to figure out if I think I could ride certain rides. I'm hoping that FoP isn't super jerky or flips you around crazily.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Ah, yes, I do keep getting that confused. I knew you designed something. Avatar makes more sense than a Banshee

But then there is the part where you get matched up to a Banshee and can buy the mini version of that banshee (I think sort of like the wand matching at Harry Potter) - but not sure if that is connected to the ride at all or just in the gift shop

I believe that's just in the gift shop.

I think so too - but I can understand confusion coming in as to what you are being scanned for in the Banshee ride vs matched up with a Banshee elsewhere, etc.

Here is a look at those photo ops that @FastPasser was talking about.

[TmlndSpdwy03]

I'm assuming that you also signed up for CM preview tickets?

I havn't been a cast member since 01' or 02' but I was lucky enough to get the preview tickets for passholders. The fastpasses were my backup in case we dont get to experience everything during that event.

Oh man, this is just the kind of gimmick I go for. Now I know we will be taking home at least one banshee

I want to - but I am already going to Disney without my family ... might be pushing it to come back with a stuffed animal that the kids can't play with too
