***Official*** Pandora: The World of Avatar Information Thread

[Farro]

We're trying to keep all discussion on Pandora-World of Avatar on the official page. You can continue discussing over there.
I'm merging the threads.

I think it's silly to have one thread discussing Pandora. It's too big for people to search through, too many topics and many questions will just get lost.

It's a new land and people will have questions. You should let them stay open on the main board.

I have 4 FOP fast passes scheduled for Sunday night at 8:35pm and now have a schedule conflict. PM me if anyone wants to try to coordinate and pick them up.

I understand your point. But, as you have probably seen, a Pandora thread pops open on a daily basis clogging the first page of the forum and there's a lot of people trying to discuss other things related to their planning. That's why big "official" pages like this exist, to keep everyone on one thread
Page one of this thread has all condensed information, plus if you would like to ask a question you are more likely to get a better answer here, where everyone is discussing the land, in a faster way.

Not like star tours at all, compares closer with a 3D version of soarin. Star tours makes me sick, had no problem with FOP. They do a good job of keeping air moving in your face so you don't get hot with stagnant air like star tours.

Hope you enjoy it!

Oh, that would be great! I actually really like soaring- it's the first ride of its type that does not make me nauseous. Even ratatouille in Paris does me in. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!!!

Yes, I get motion sick from some of the simulated rides. I can't do the Simpsons. And I hated the Harry Potter Quiditch simulated ride...too crazy fast. (I don't know the name of that ride.) I love soarin' and I can do Star Tours, so hoping I will love FOP. It's really hard to tell from what people might compare it to because everyone just has such a different perspective. But...here's hoping!

I bet they will be tweaking the seats and the restraints for the next couple of months.

For all we know the Imagineers might of known this would be a problem and all of us at the previews were guinea pigs.

Also could be the reason why no test seat is out yet.

They are going to be for sure, I got hurt on the ride, and was given a rider swap pass to come back and when I ride it again I had 3 CM asking me question about the ride . so I am pretty sure they will they will be making some changes to the ride.

I also had significant issues with the glasses on FOP. They were falling off for most of the ride so I wasn't able to really enjoy the ride. The second time I ride FOP, I put my glasses on and the put my hair on a ponytail that went over the glasses to help hold them in place. This technique helped a lot and I was able to enjoy the ride.

Anyone else have significant issues with the glasses?

I only see out of one eye at a time so must 3d things look double to me but yes the glasses were big and falling off. I just took them off as it really looks the same with or with out them

Frozen takes your photo just as you start to move backwards and let it go.

It takes your photo when you go down that one drop forward not the one going back wards

I agree with Farro but understand it would take up most of the first page, but next time with TSL opened in HS could you add a subform as this is really hard to read and find information and follow. I am not technically savvy at all so do not know if adding a subform would be doable or not, but then you could have different threads for different things and it would be easer to find what you are looking for. just an idea

At what point in the queue do you receive the glasses for FoP? Is it early enough that I would have time to attach some adjustable straps for my kids, to keep the glasses from falling off?

Right before you get on so probably not but you could try

EDIT it might be in between the two room where you watch the video as I can remember putting them on and off a few times, but I know I was not holding them fro a few long time like at TSMM

 

[alex9179]

Thanks. I'll have them practice with their sunglasses on our long drive to WDW. They should have time to snug them up before the ride starts.

This is a really good idea. I think we're going to have to give it a shot, too!

I was going to message you about it, if it seemed doable! The temples don't look weirdly thick and I think the straps would slip on well enough to keep the darn things on the face.

This is exactly what I was planning to do for my 5 year old.
Hopefully they have some smaller glasses by mid July...

so 192 people per flight, 192 people hiding in the preshow rooms and what's the capacity of that last multi-line waiting area? I came up that it was 4 flights worth of people so about an hour wait if they are filling them all up not counting the preshow time. how long is the ride is it a 4 an hour or 5 an hour ride?

While we visited a CM said there was the capacity in the Queing system for a 6 hour wait ....

I know if they fall off completely during the ride, my son's wee tiny head will explode.

Those who've ridden it, just to confirm, it IS possible to ride hanging on with only one hand?

there's no need to hold on at all

I doubt that we will see more previews or soft openings, but who knows?

As for the river ride - if you enjoyed the movie, you will get the ride much more than if you either have not seen the movie or did not enjoy it. We loved the movie so loved the ride. Our only disappointments were the length (we wished it were longer) and the Navi singer toward the end. Her voice was grating and pulled us out of the emersive world. It would have been better to have her speaking or silent. Her singing along with that beautiful song ruined that portion of the ride for us.

Loved the movie, and generally agree, except with the overall assessment, the fact that the ride is SO dang short, is a MAJOR problem to us. Its not only short in time (last time we rode it was 4:58.) But that its so SHORT, physically. There ends up not being much there to see, despite that what there is is beautiful. The ride moves VERY slow to even make it last 5 mins. There is so very very little to it. As such, didn't really like the ride. I didn't mind the voice, or her signing. I had more issues with the "Animals" that are actually rather obvious screens. They weren't well executed.
