What was the wait when you got off in the morningI rode it last Thursday for the first time. I was able to do EMH RD and was off the ride by 8:10 and then had a FP for later. Great attraction.

I always try looking for new things when I ride. When I rode 5 times during my March trip I spotted something new each time.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 before
There's always one........I enjoyed it but wasn’t blown away by it. Glad everyone else likes it though!
SO EXCITED to experience FOP first time this coming October. SO MANY have had such positive comments...CAN'T WAIT!
Having the different levels makes a difference also to get a slightly different experience. I like the top the best but obviously any ride on FOP is a good one!I always try looking for new things when I ride. When I rode 5 times during my March trip I spotted something new each time.
Each theater has three levels of 16. There are four theaters.I thought it was pretty cool. He ride mechanism and tech is what blows me away though. I can’t find it anywhere. How many people ride at once? Not per hour that I found.
Wait say that again. So how many total per screen. When I looked to my right it looked like 4 levels with 5 sets of 16 people per level. So like 280 per screen?Each theater has three levels of 16. There are four levels.
Sorry I mistyped. 3 levels, 16 per level. There are 4 theaters.Wait say that again. So how many total per screen. When I looked to my right it looked like 4 levels with 5 sets of 16 people per level. So like 280 per screen?
FoP is the one ride at Disney that makes me wish for Universal's Express Pass. I think I might spend a full day riding it over and over and over and over..... (which is exactly why Disney doesn't do EP)
I will mention, we've recently watched Avatar again and it is truly amazing how close the ride and areas in Pandora are to the looks and designs in the movie. I mean, I had seen the movie a lot, even watched with DGD before we went for the opening in the land last year. But even then, I hadn't put the 2 and 2 together quite like I did when we saw the movie again last week, after visiting Pandora numerous times over the past 13 months. They put in a level of detail I'm not sure many realize. And FoP, watch the scene where Jake joins with his Banshee the first time again sometime. It's like you are riding FoP
Agreeing 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.
I love love love FOP... I've even had dreams about riding it again
Well there's at least two! It's a really cool ride but I don't count it among my favorites. The hassle of getting FP takes some of the enjoyment away for me, and there's no way I'd wait standby for it. But I get why people love it and I love that Disney is pushing the boundaries for theme park entertainment.There's always one........
I've never had a bad ride, not even a medicore one so I believe yes every seat does have a good view.Question for those who’ve been multiple times- does every seat have a good view?
