It's not that tame. It's more intense than Soarin but less intense than forbidden journey at universal if you know what that is like.

When we went to Universal DD didn't yet height into the Harry Potter ride - I'm assuming if we can handle RNRC though we'll be ok on FOP.

I'd say if you can handle Star Tours you should be okay.

How long do we think single rider will be for FoP...an hour?

I'm actually growing more optimistic about this. I'm admittedly not an Avatar fan, but the attention to detail appears to be quite solid here. That's a nice departure from some other efforts - and bodes well for SWL.

I am an AP and haven't booked a Pandora-focused trip. But, that's because I have one this week (grrr... so close) and then in early September. But, I am battling my brain's desire to take another weekend trip in between. If it wasn't summer season, I likely would.

No way to know yet.

Dis Daily Fix thread of the day!

I don't think many are going to book a trip to WDW based on this new land but it's always good to have new attractions. I'll definitely go se it when I go in November but I'm not particularly excited about it, but then I can't get through 1/2 the movie while my husband likes it. I also wonder how popular the merchandise will be. WIll people spend money on Avatar stuff or save it for Disney related souvenirs? I think the latter.

I did. I usually go to WDW once every 2 years or so. I went with DW just in March and realized I would miss Pandora as by the time we arrived this trip they had announced the May 27 opening of Pandora. I was OK with that and not terribly disappointed. Figured I would see it in 2019 after SWL opened and I came back.

However, the day after DW and I visited AK we were at DHS. And I saw March of the First Order for the first time. The whole time watching the March I was thinking about DS26 who has never been to WDW. And in a flash it all came together. His birthday #26 is in late May, he has never been to WDW, Pandora will be opening, and he would really dig the Star Wars stuff at DHS. And the decision was made to come back on opening day on a guy's trip for his first visit.

Score two more folks for WDW that would not be coming on this trip if not for Pandora.

There are plenty of photos and reviews in this thread.

I've tried to scan for reviews but want to avoid videos if I can. Have any of these reviews addressed the size of the guest any further? Other than the 2 rather tongue in cheek comments repeated about 1 blogger never eating again and another from a CM saying about the same. Neither of these specifically address if anyone has tried and been turned away, being too big to ride, have they? When jokes are made you can't tell if it's a serious concern or just that, a joke. I realize not many have ridden yet but wondering if anyone who can't ride FJ can ride FoP or if you can't ride FJ you'll be out of luck on FoP

There's a seat set up in line to see if you can fit in it. If not you're probably gonna have a bad time.

Thoughts on riding Flight of Passage while 20 weeks pregnant? I tweeted the Dis with a question and they said riding pregnant would be too cramped, but after seeing the ride vehicle, I think I'd be fine this early in the pregnancy. The front pad would probably hit my chest/rib cage, and my "bump" is still pretty small (3 weeks out from the trip) and is very low. There's no warning on the ride description right now, and I don't imagine I'd be any less comfortable than someone who carried their weight in their mid-section.

I understand that part. Still looking for more info on actual riders fitting and not fitting. The photos of the seat I've seen do not look like a ride that will have any issues. So I'm not sure why there's been any discussion regarding it at all.

Not much. Many have said that larger people are going to have some issues but it likely will depend on the person. The test seat will be your best bet.

Until more people get in within the next couple weeks we just aren't going to know that info yet.

Unless you're going right when Pandora opens I wouldn't worry about it. Much like Seven Dwarves I'm sure there will be endless posts and threads discussing (and complaining) about not being able to fit or be comfortable in the seat. You'll probably have more than enough info.

I have not heard anything yet. Banks Lee is going on Thursday and he had issues with FJ. I know he said it looks similar to a system Legoland uses which he doesn't have a problem with so he is hopeful for FOP.
