I read above on the news stories of today that there was a 250 min. wait to doFOP.

Ok
Is that without the Fast pass, in the standby line??

Thanks

Definitely standby. Reports on FP was that it was practically a walk on or at most 5-15 min wait

 

[SorryI'mNotSorry]

I'm trying to figure out the FoP ride and am even more confused than ever. We've heard here that you just lean side to side on this motorcycle type seat, hardly any movement. Then we hear that you get lifted and dropped and get those pit of the stomach drops. Is everyone's perception of how the ride moves really that far off from one another or have they been upping the intensity? Can anyone who has been on the ride describe the movements of the ride from the beginning to the end?

It does move side to side but the entire apparatus raises and drops a few feet in each direction and can pitch forward or upward to give the sense of diving or climbing.

It's rather tame and not really conducive to generating motion sickness

Yes, absolutely ridiculous!!!! I asked a simple question on a new thread--maybe the one you're referring to!--and it's gotten buried in the middle of everything here. Instead of having a few posts with input from more than 1 person, they bury it so I get no feedback. We can have multiple threads for everything else in the world, but not for this. It's gotten a bit out of hand.

Guess I'll have to wait a couple months until this all dies down and then try asking my question again. No interest in reading 260+ pages. And before I'm told to check the first page, I did that. My questions weren't answered.

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.

The actual physical movement is no more than a few feet in any direction - but the movement is so well synced to the video that it feels like you are moving a lot more so some people have reported that it feels like a "drop" but you really aren't

Which is good for my FP however oh so bad for NRJ that I don't have a FP for.

Our ride on the boat ride was a walk on with FP at 2 this afternoon

I am a little surprised the line has stayed so high for that. Hopefully by Wed it dies down a bit - and interested to see crowd levels during the EMH (and Wed MK has their evening EMH so hope that helps a bit too)

The ride platform with its riders comes out about 2 feet and tilts slightly down. You won't know this unless you make it a point to look around the room at other riders..and even then it's not that noticeable. The beginning of the ride goes dark and diverts your attention for a few seconds so you don't see or feel this happen

The ride vehicle is like that somewhat of an arcade motorcycle and just sitting in a chair. You have the platform beneath you and if you're tall enough, your feet can be planted on the floor the entire time.

The ride doesn't drop you down from a height and move a ton, it's all perception. The ride vehicle moves somewhat like Star Tours where it's side to side and forward and back. It's not a lot and it's very fluid and smooth. There are times where the screen simulates your banshee flying downward so your seat tilts toward but doing that with the visual on the screen, it can get your stomach.

The line for EMH currently stretches to the FOTLK.

I am interested to see how tomorrow goes as it's not opening day so it won't have that hype.

All you have to do is tap your screenname at the top of the forum and go to Your Content. You can get to your post.

While I was answering your question to verify that people have been vomiting while riding FoP, your post was moved here.

Even though I had to bring my answer over to this thread, I did answer your post.

And yes, there have been many instances of vomiting while riding FoP.

I am also very interested in how this evening goes
I had planned to walk around and view the lights and maybe ride the river ride I have a fast pass for fop but it is in the afternoon so definitely planned on leaving and coming back at around 10 pm
But definitely had not planned on having to wait to get in emh if I was not going to ride

We can have a dozen different threads each day asking if dining plan is worth it or not. But every single post having anything at all to do with anything Pandora related needs to be in one thread. Makes zero sense. And makes it impossible to keep up. Make Pandora a forum if you must--then threads underneath for different things. One for food, one for merchandise, one for each ride, one for FPs, etc., etc. Cramming it all into one is making it impossible to follow a thread for any one thing.

And I doubt I'm the only one who feels this way....

Just going to ignore it all until the craziness dies down and then maybe we can get to the point where multiple threads are allowed--just as they are for absolutely anything else in the forums.

All you have to remember is that yes, people do vomit while riding FoP. That was established off of the Previews.

We don't need 30 Pandora threads taking up the first page. I am not the mod of this board nor have any power in the decisions made for this board but I completely agree with the decisions. One of our jobs as mods is to merge threads that are the same or very similar as we don't need so many of the same threads. If you can't find the answer in the first page ask and someone will answer it's that simple.

This is good to know... I will make sure DH takes Bonine!! Believe it or not, I've been following this monster thread for ages and somehow missed that vomiting was a real issue.

I actually have other questions as well, but won't bother for now. And, I mean, honestly, people can vomit on any given ride. Doesn't really tell me much! LOL!

What are your questions? If they can't answered by the info on the first page I would be happy to answer any and all of them.

I have no problem merging threads. It's merging EVERY. SINGLE. THREAD. possibly, remotely related to a topic into one monster thread.

It would be like merging everything about World Showcase into one thread.

Line into Pandora for EMH is moving fairly quickly.
