Just did it today for the first time. Truly amazing! It is a joyful and thrilling experience. I won't give anything away, but it's the best ride I've ever done!!
Funny you mention that. We've been incredibly lucky to get FP for this a lot. AK has always been my favorite park so we always do it 2 times each trip, now 3 is not unusual and we've managed to get FoP as an additional FP quite a few times, with some very persistent searching.. So we'll manage 3, 4 rides on FoP each trip, and with 6 or 7 trips, we've gotten to ride it more than 20 times, easily. It wasn't until a trip in April that I noticed you do a barrel roll during the ride. I don't know how I never noticed it beforeAgreeing with all the PPs. FoP is Disney outdoing itself--and causing me to spend at least part of every day of each WDW trip at DAK.
I'd tried watching the movie twice in the last few years and turned it off both times, even though I'm a big sci-fi fan. But after doing FoP and NRJ I thought I'd give the movie another chance. You'd think that seeing the movie would give extra depth and interest to the rides, but, for me, it was the other way around--doing the rides gave extra depth and interest to the movie!
ETA: Actually, I disagree with something a PP said, because I find that every time I do the ride it's better than the first time, sometimes astoundingly better.
This!The four of the us we so blown away that I actually got watery eyes when we were done!
Don't know the last time you rode but they did get new ear pieces in March, so they fit much better nowIt literally took my breath away my first time. I actually gasped when the screen opened up. SO beautifully done! (I just don't like those glasses! )
I hope so!Don't know the last time you rode but they did get new ear pieces in March, so they fit much better now
AgreedAgreed, it's amazing! Wish I could go back and ride it again for the first time... it was so unexpectedly awesome that first time. Subsequent rides are also great, but nothing will beat that first ride.
