Can anyone that has already been on FOP be kind enough to give me an estimated wait time with an early FastPass+? Is it a good strategy to head directly to ride Navi River first at opening, and use the fastpass for FOP?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I had FPs Thursday and yesterday morning. On both days I walked all the way up to the second tap point without stopping and after that it was less than 10 minutes until I was in the pre show room.

Yes you can child swap.

 

[camnhan]

Thank you Soooooooooooooooo much! We can do most things with him but I can see him deciding he is done and trying to get off

Can I ride Flight of Passage if I have neck issues or is it smooth and similar to Soaring?

It's smooth but there is nothing supporting that part of your body like with soarin where you have the chair to lean back against.

 

[Dakota731]

As long as it's not jerky I'd be ok. Is it similar to the ET bikes at Universal?

 

[PrincessShmoo]

I don't lean. Leaning will make your butt stick out. Go as far forward as possible into the seat and then sit straight up until the restraints arre locked.

That's one thing I'm concerned about. I don't have back problems, but sitting in a forced position with my back arched can cause spasms that I just don't want to have to deal with while at the parks.

Are you saying that this bridge was open as an entrance?

When we were there it was not.

I was there last Wednesday and it was open for both directions during the day but exit only at night

What is going on at FOP? The wait time is the lowest I've ever seen it not during EMH, by a lot. 50 minutes. Primeval whirl is at 40 for comparison and the river journey at 75. Some rides with longer waits include pirates, Omni movies haunted mansion and buzz, and star tours!

I thought maybe it was storming but there are no closures. Is it possible all the theaters have not been working at the same time until now?

We entered through Africa Saturday night.

It's currently a posted 175.

Am I reading this right -- they are actually letting people into the park at 6 AM? Wow

You just get through bag check at 6:15, then we were held at the scanners until about 6:45, then held until 7 at rope drop

 

[Vicki Rickerd]

Do you happen to know what time you got off FoP?

I think about 7:40. CM walk you to the entrance and then you have to weave through the line and watch the videos.

Sorry if this has been answered already, but I did a search and couldn't find it anywhere. Is rider switch available for the River ride? Wondering if I will have the option to stay off with baby and ride later if it turns out she doesn't do so well on rides. TIA!

ETA: I'm confused about this because Undercover Tourist says it is offered on NRJ, but other sites say it is not.

It should be offered with both.

It should be offered with both.

Thanks for the quick response, very helpful!
