5 Things You’ll Love about Avatar Flight of Passage and 2 Things You Won’t

1. The Seating Dislike: The most negative feedback that Cast Members are receiving from guests on Flight of Passage is the seating, which prevents some guests from riding.  Curiously, a person’s ability to fit in the ride seat has more to do with the shape of their body than their size.  The rider straddles a motorcycle-style seat and then slides forward into a chest pad.  If the back and leg rest

2. The Line Dislike: As with any new or popular attraction, a big negative is the long wait time you have before you can experience the ride.  Flight of Passage is taking that challenge to even greater extremes, with wait times approaching six hours on some days.  It’s a credit to Disney’s Imagineers that even after that long wait, guests are still giving glowing reviews of the attraction after ri

5. The Motion Simulation Love: Theme parks have been using motion simulation for decades to add an exciting element to their attractions.  Those lurches, sways, and wobbles underneath your seat can really intensify the ride experience.  But it is possible to have too much of a good thing.  One of the biggest problems with motion simulation is that it can be too abrupt or jerky, and it can leave th
