This is a sign for anyone that wants to ride it but is nervous of the unknown. DO IT. when i came off the ride i was almost in tears with how beautiful it was. you don’t feel the drops in your stomach at all. the ride is so seamless. i can’t believe i almost talked myself out of riding it. DO IT. don’t be scared, you’re stronger than you think.
@scoldedegg • 11 years ago The ride is really beautiful and very well done. It's more akin to soarin than a Rollercoaster if that helps. If you are concerned about being claustrophobic try the test seat first.
@@shannonb3351 I’m not worried about claustrophobia but this is making me feel better. Are you SURE that you don’t feel the drops. Because I do not mind soarin
Definitely worth going on. Don't fear the warnings they give you while waiting in line about fear of heights. This ride is the most amazing ride I've ever been on. Best ride at Disney World
this is Mandy, I am blind and have never rode this ride. Can you please tell me what it is like? I can see light, dark, and shadows. No movement though or colors. Would I be able to feel anything? or see any lights of some kind? I can only see bright lights and if they're up close. 5:10
This is a perfect POV. I am a parapalegic that now has also had open heart surgery. It is very hard to know what I can and can't ride. I have to look at if I can transfer and now if my heart can handle the stress too. When I first was injured I didnt have the heart problem. I wanted to see what I could Handle so I rode Space in EPCOT. I have been on it before I was injured and it wasn't anything that was a big deal to me then. Afterward though is a completely different story. Without the ability to use my legs and tihhten up my muscles in them, there was no way to push ghe blood out of them. Needless to say, it felt like my (very health) heart at the time was pumping dry and felt like it was about to beat out of my chest! It was the scariest thing I ever experienced and I had to do everything I could to breath and slow down my heart rate. I was on the verge of passing out and fought tooth and nail to stay conscious. After that I knew I had massive limits on things that I previously thought weren't a big deal. I was able to ride The Mummy (at Universal) with no problem though, but I needed help transferring. Dinosour was ok too, but I constantly had to be aware of my legs that they didn't fall out of the ride. So, now with my heart failure, I need to actually see what the ride looks like before I ride it. These types of videos are such a big help to me and I want to thank you for posting it. I may be able to transfer into this Flight ride with a little help and it would definitly lock my legs in nice and tight (Harry Potter makes my legs seem like they are going to break at the knees and I have to try to hold them as much as I can). But with the visuals and rapid drops, I'm not sure how my heart (through adrenaline) could handle it. There isn't continual or massive G's in the ride so my blood isn't a worry. But anyway, I'm sorry I rambled but again, I wanted to thank you for this great POV, it helped more than you can possibly know!
It seemed to me that my Banshee had an affinity for swooping under things. Perhaps as long as you are warned of all these things you will manage. Flight of Passage, Soarin’ and Seven Dwarves Mine Trine were the only thrilling rides I chose to ride during my March trip.
My should had finished healing from a disclocation earlier in the year 2017 when me and my family went to disney so it was helpful to see before we went how some of the new ride vechiles operated. This was a breeze for my shoulder and did not aggreviate it at all for me.
Traci Frost yes and no. Soarin is a bit leisurely and slow; FOP is more intense as to dropping, but the scenery and perspective is the same. If you're afraid of the drops--so I am, I hate all roller coasters, but this ride is only 4 feet when you're on the bike. Hope this helps 😊
I went to both this and Soarin. I personally liked the flight of passage more. I went last summer and I had to wait in line for so long but the ride was worth it.
TheGaming Spooderman i prefer fop also because it has additional/better effects with the screen and such. It's a long line (my first time I waited out to Africa lol) but I agree, it's worth every minute
People who haven't ridden this: The coolest part to me is that in between your thighs, you can feel the banshee breathing. It pulses and feels like breathing under you, and you can hear and feel deep intakes of breaths when it prepares itself to swoop. Other feelings like slight vibration that feels like it's scraping along the ground when it takes off, and pumping up and down to mimic its wings pumping to go straight up. And the wind and water in your face!
I remember going on this last summer it was so fun it was an actual vr experience it felt like u were actually riding a banshee and u were in the land of avatars I swear Disney has the best technology when it comes to making these be rides
hi, have a question. I am Mandy from Illinois, and have been blind since birth. What was this ride like? Do you get wet? What did the banshee feel like? Could you feel The banshees head? Could you feel the banshee itself? If so, was it free? Did it have a name? Just curious. What were the movements like? do you actually go in a cave? Just curious.
@@MrMandygirl12 Mandy, I’m sorry for the late response. But this ride is simply incredible. You feel as if you are truly flying. You can feel the Banshee’s breath between your legs. The power and sound of their wings. While you don’t get wet, you can feel a subtle splatter of mist when you fly above the water! And wind through your hair as you’re flying. Hope you get the chance to experience it! Stay safe!
This ride was the single greatest experience of my life. ...Okay, second, behind my wedding :P But seriously, I'm surprised at how much vertical movement there is to the link chairs. It certainly explains the "drop" feelings when you soar into a dive. Thank you for sharing, this satisfies my curiosity as to how the ride works!
I do not enjoy many rides..I cant even handle slash mountain.. my husband on the other hands loves fast rides.. so imagine our surprise when I came off this ride having loved it, and my husband terrified, it triggered his fear of falling ..
I have a fear of falling and closing your eyes only makes it worse. You have to prepare your body for a fall and shutting your eyes removes your chance of doing that. I love fast rides too but my fear of falling caused my legs to give after this ride and needed assistance.
Regina Rojas it is called water lily aloe and target sells it!! Last time we found it in the home decor department and not with the regular candles. I’m telling you smells just like it 😊
Jane Usero it is called water lily aloe and target sells it! Normally in their home decor department but might be in the candle section now. They have big cork tops!!
One of the BEST rides ever! You can feel the air and EVERYTHING I hate rides like these but this one is just too good! The air felt so fresh! This is one of the best rides yet you should totally go it’s worth every single second of waiting in line! I’m going to Disney soon and the first ride I’m going to is FLIGHT OF PASSAGE because I’ve been there twice and I cried I didn’t wanna go Hahah, well you should tottaly go!
Thanks for the POV! Went on it a few days ago (it was breath taking) and the door appearing in front of me in the end had my mind blown, it looked like we never left the room. Now I know it was an amazing trick of lighting. No other article answered this question for me until this vid. Once again thank you so much for this!
That door was pretty amazing... I agree. One moment you feel like you're sitting right in front of a wall, the next moment you're teleported out, only for the wall to suddenly appear again. It's always interesting to get these "spoilers" on how it's done!
Rode this in September 2019 & was blown away this ride is so cool such an amazing experience, waited almost 2 hours but definitely worth it, it’s a must I couldn’t stop talking about.
ive rode this twice, and for some reason i cant quite understand how it was realistic but with the cameras pov, it really is impressive, those who ride it see it as reality and not a screen.
Just got on this ride today. IT WAS AWESOME!!! Made you really feel like you were actually there. This ride is way better than a roller coaster to me. I initially didn’t wanna go to Disney because I thought it would be babyish, but they have a lot of cool stuff there. I’m going back to Disney World again for sure!!
You shouldnt be scared. I felt the mist from the ponds splash on me. Riding the banshees we’re definitely worth the wait. Especially when we went straight down. The most free I’ve been that whole day at AK. Best ride!
This ride is absolutely great, I was so nervous at first but once I road it, I was filled with excitement, I got to ride it again on the same day, what a masterpiece.
My POV: “Uh... Back restraints? Why... WHAT. WHY DO I NEED BACK- IN WHAT SCENARIO WOULD I NEED TO BE STRAPPED INTO THIS SEAT SO SECURELY HOLY SHIT GETMEOFF” Best ride EVER, all the instructions make it seem so much scarier than it actually is. It’s such a breathtaking ride!!
Im so confused now how the ride actually works- I assumed each individual seat moved on its own but this makes it look like the whole room moves. I noticed when I rode it that its multiple chambers all watch the same screen (Part of why the line is so long) like Soarin but I didnt think the whole thing moved. Id love to see how this all works!
It's essentially both of those things. Each seat has an independent motion base under it (think an incredibly minimized version of the Star Tours sim's tech). Each row of seats is mounted to a platform that has vertical motion (the dropping and rising that you're seeing here). Both of those aspects combined, along with the 4K 3D projections gives you the illusion that you encounter in the ride.
I think there's two groups in different Chambers looking at the same screen. And another on the other side. I think that's how it works. I went through training on the ride, but still couldn't fully understand it. My instructor was bad at teaching and always took long breaks. All the staff on Flight of Passage were really rude to me. When I said good morning, they would just ignore me. They were all empty shells. They would either blankly stare at their cellphones in the break room or have geek talk about theme parks.
From what I understand (Very rudimentary understanding based solely off of leaked floorplans and behind the scenes photos), There's three levels, with a few groups on each floor. So yeah there are definitely multiple groups of people viewing the same screen.
It's funny, when I was in Disney a couple months ago, we got off this ride and as we were walking down the steps after the ride everyone started chanting "SIVAKO!!!!!" It brought me happiness and I started chanting along with them
THANK YOU! I have been saying for ages that you are actually dropping and moving on flight of passage and no one believed me! This proves it 🙌 amazing ride!
The Ride itself is extremely similar to the "Soarin, Around the World" Ride at Epcot (or perhaps, the "Harry Potter & the Forbidden Journey" Ride on a much Larger Scale), where you're in a Giant Bowl-Shaped Movie Screen. However, instead of sitting in a row of suspended chairs (like that of Soarin'), the entire Chamber, moves/shifts in sync w/ the Video. As to why they have the "Fear of Height" Warnings, this is due to the fact that there have been at least 4 Recorded Incidents, in which riders have actually lost consciousness while riding (see my Link, below). The ride actually has 3 Separate floors, which might also trigger some anxiety. Each Chamber consists of Two rows of 8 Seats, w/ 16 in Total. I also wanted to point out (in case you haven't noticed yourself) that, depending on which row you're sitting in, if you simply look towards the other row on the left or right, you will actually see the other riders, in the opposite row. I hope this has helped some achieve a broader understanding of the Construction and Mechanics of the Ride. List of Incidents at Walt Disney World - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_at_Walt_Disney_World#Disney's_Animal_Kingdom
in all my 62 years i have never enjoyed a ride so much, ok so i did sit with a pilot on landing from jersey to gatwick once, but this was equally thrilling. its not scary, it doesnt jolt its actually very gentle, you just have to let your imagination go and feel the banshee breathing between your legs and trust your avatar!!!! it really is the best ride disney has to offer
or just think this is another dumb simulator ride. Out of all the 3d simulator rides I've been on this one was awesome! And no I didn't get fast pass. They filled up too quickly. But the 2 hour wait was so worth it. The queue line design is incredible. It gets better as you get closer to the ride's preshow and the ride itself was just amazing! With this kind of movie with tons of cgi there's really no other way you can do this kind fast paced ride with practical effects. It's like Soaring on steroids.
I am assuming you have never ridden this. But if you have and still have this opinion, there are tens of thousands of people who are "easily impressed" who would disagree with you. But, to each their own. I dont judge.
I was at animal kingdom and went here I was mind blown how good it was.It also had that funny feeling in ur stomach.But the ride took 2 hours but it was worth it.❤️Watching this again makes me scared😂 I stared holding so tight bc I was scared and it was so realistic I started sweating
As someone who has skydived, there a couple of moments where I felt like I was back in the air again. Amazing ride, the best ride Disney has by far at WDW. It won't give you the rush of roller coaster, but there's something more emotional about this ride. Loved it and plan to ride it many more times when we return.
When I stepped on that Tron lightcycle and got to soar over the magnificent Globnar trees, I felt more joy in my life than when I first saw the face of my newborn son. Tears.
just recently i looked up and realized ur in a giant theater almost like soarin. i was so surprised. this ride deserves all of its long waits because it actually feels likes ur in the movie it’s great
My first time! Worth getting up at 5:15 AM to be close to the front of the line at the 7AM opening. The combination of 3D immersive video and flight simulator coordination is absolutely amazing! Definitely the best ride experience at WDW! 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Omg I loved that ride! The line for that was WAYYYYYY TOO LONG..and only for a ride that is 6 minutes!!! It TOTALLYY wasn't worth 3 hours of waiting (yes I'm serious)but I totally enjoyed this ride.
This is not completely like soarin..only in some ways. Soarin lifts and tilts u slightly upward into a screen. Flight of passage starts u off feet high in the air and the entire platform actually moves and drops you.
Are there levels that are more intense than the others? I was able to go on only once last December and it felt in between Soarin' and Star Tours, so not really intense. I would love to go on it again sometime in the future, hopefully in the years after the Star Wars land crowds filling up all the parks goes down.
this ride has set the standard for all rides to compare to it is by far the best ride ever not even the best coasters in the world compare i often say that i hope heaven is somewhat like this ride!!!!!!
I can see a way to cut down the 5-7 hour wait drastically by removing the 10 minutes of preshow that really dragged on too long. 10 min of preshow for the 5 minute ride. that's silly.
There are I think 4 chambers total, but even if it's just two, cutting out the 10 minutes would allow 8 more GROUPS of people per hour. If each chamber holds 8 people, that is 64 MORE people per hour that can ride!
The preshow video content is dynamic , if there is a ride delay and they are not ready for the next group , there will be a malfunction example of the genetic scanning system in the video to give them time to get things back in sync for the next group.
The ride itself cant support more groups due to the length of the film experience itself (4:25) plus the short time for the riders to disembark and for the Disney cast members to reset and check of the ride vehicles for the next group. , the queue is a lot more interesting then simply standing there idle to wait for the next possible ride loop , the queue designed in to be part of the ride experience as well and explains aspects of the content..
Eman Albana This is in Walt Disney World in Florida. They have so many different and amazing rides. This is their newest. I hope you can get there one day. I know you will love it.
Jane Usero O.k thank you very much about nice adventure rides you give it to me and all the details for your park, because maybe this year I am going to visit America, so I hope to coming to your nice parks and activities
I've just seen the commercial for this and my curiosity brought me to this really great video that shows people how the ride moves and things you could expect to be a part of. I imagine sensory overload is what makes this ride so cool and something you have to personally experience for the thrill. Thanks for sharing this!
It definitely is a sensory overload ride. Its stunning, amazing and exciting. I went on it again about a week ago and filmed the screen from the seat so you can see the scenes. I will be posting it in the coming weeks.
I’ve been on that ride, and if you plan to go to Disney that is literatly the best ride there. Usually it’s a 1-2 hour wait but it’s really worth it😍. That’s why you should plan to get fast passes like 3 months before you go, so you can get on the ride in 5 minutes
This is a sign for anyone that wants to ride it but is nervous of the unknown. DO IT. when i came off the ride i was almost in tears with how beautiful it was. you don’t feel the drops in your stomach at all. the ride is so seamless. i can’t believe i almost talked myself out of riding it. DO IT. don’t be scared, you’re stronger than you think.
also this video really helped me see how the ride works!!! it was very helpful
Aw I love this comment. I'm going next week and you talked me into riding it!
Dont know if you will see this but i am VERY scared. I dont want to let my family down from not riding this but im scared
@scoldedegg • 11 years ago
The ride is really beautiful and very well done. It's more akin to soarin than a Rollercoaster if that helps. If you are concerned about being claustrophobic try the test seat first.
@@shannonb3351 I’m not worried about claustrophobia but this is making me feel better. Are you SURE that you don’t feel the drops. Because I do not mind soarin
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. No other video showed me what the ride actually did. Thank you so much. Great video!
Christina Rizzo thank you. It is an amazing experience and, as you can tell...my granddaughters favorite.
Christina Rizzo you are right
I have a few POV rides on my channel.. tell me what you want to see and I'll try to film it on our upcoming trip this October
Definitely worth going on. Don't fear the warnings they give you while waiting in line about fear of heights. This ride is the most amazing ride I've ever been on. Best ride at Disney World
Same here, wanted to see exactly how the ride moves!
This is my favourite ride in the entire Walt Disney World, it's absolutely a gem!
Mine too.
What park is it in
David Naylor in animal kingdom
It is the best ride

There actually isn't a lot of motion in the ride vehicle. The visuals fool your brain into thinking you are doing all that swooping and diving.

Best ride ever...worth the 2 hour wait in line!!
Jason Woodard I agree 100%. And I normly wont wait more than 45 for anything.
I rode it over and over over I couldn’t stop

I guess he isn't a fan of Tower of terror
I have a fear of falling and closing your eyes only makes it worse. You have to prepare your body for a fall and shutting your eyes removes your chance of doing that. I love fast rides too but my fear of falling caused my legs to give after this ride and needed assistance.

Kadz12 Best ride ever, isnt it?
How long was the wait time?
We had fast passes, so pretty much a walk on. But, the stand by line is usually at least 90 minutes.

@@mga_lani thank you for your reply
I thought this was a better ride that was made in years. I'm glad my mom got me to ride it and I'll go on it again.
The Ride itself is extremely similar to the "Soarin, Around the World" Ride at Epcot (or perhaps, the "Harry Potter & the Forbidden Journey" Ride on a much Larger Scale), where you're in a Giant Bowl-Shaped Movie Screen. However, instead of sitting in a row of suspended chairs (like that of Soarin'), the entire Chamber, moves/shifts in sync w/ the Video.
As to why they have the "Fear of Height" Warnings, this is due to the fact that there have been at least 4 Recorded Incidents, in which riders have actually lost consciousness while riding (see my Link, below). The ride actually has 3 Separate floors, which might also trigger some anxiety. Each Chamber consists of Two rows of 8 Seats, w/ 16 in Total.
I also wanted to point out (in case you haven't noticed yourself) that, depending on which row you're sitting in, if you simply look towards the other row on the left or right, you will actually see the other riders, in the opposite row.
I hope this has helped some achieve a broader understanding of the Construction and Mechanics of the Ride.

That’s uncool... basically like putting a fly in a glass jar and shifting it up and down to stimulate an earth quake. Thanksss
So its like the simpsons ride at universal?
And 2 floors.we was on bottom floor 4 times and top floor twice. Loads better on top floor
My fear isn’t enough to make me pass out but I’m pretty sure this ride would make me scream like a little bitch!

in all my 62 years i have never enjoyed a ride so much, ok so i did sit with a pilot on landing from jersey to gatwick once, but this was equally thrilling. its not scary, it doesnt jolt its actually very gentle, you just have to let your imagination go and feel the banshee breathing between your legs and trust your avatar!!!! it really is the best ride disney has to offer
I recently went on the new guardians ride as well as the star wars rides. Loved them all, but flight is still my favorite.
Watching this with my shoulder banshee right now, awaiting the day when I return...in about a few weeks. :)
i stood there for a couple seconds just thinking wtf just happened to me
All I did was scream..lol
28 people couldn’t get a FastPass for this ride..🤣
I would think a lot more 28. 😁
or just think this is another dumb simulator ride. Out of all the 3d simulator rides I've been on this one was awesome! And no I didn't get fast pass. They filled up too quickly. But the 2 hour wait was so worth it. The queue line design is incredible. It gets better as you get closer to the ride's preshow and the ride itself was just amazing! With this kind of movie with tons of cgi there's really no other way you can do this kind fast paced ride with practical effects. It's like Soaring on steroids.
Waaaay more than 28 though... You really have to get it at like 7:00 a.m. 30 days in advance
@@clougellii or 60 days in advance if you stay on Disney property.
@@flesh4lulu475 yeah
We waited almost 3 hrs since it kept breaking down but it was worth the wait! Best ride ever!! It's like you're actually flying in Pandora!
Glad you were able to ride.
This was exactly what I needed to see thank you! I’m tall so I’m worried about the leg restraints being to confining. This helped a lot, thank you
Happy we could help. Enjoy the ride!
The hell is so special about this? It’s just staring at a 3D screen with some motion effects. The people wowed by this must be easily impressed!
I am assuming you have never ridden this. But if you have and still have this opinion, there are tens of thousands of people who are "easily impressed" who would disagree with you. But, to each their own. I dont judge.
This ride is amazing, probably my favourite at WDW!
Mine too.
Best ride in the entire world. You’ll be crying when it’s over
Very true, I did.
I cried too 😂😂😂
I did too!
dude this ride is funnnnnn even though my stomach drops a lot lol
I loved this ride! It was EPIC!!!
Great video perfect viewer perspective! Thank you!
To quote Pixar...
“This isn’t Flying, this is Falling with Style.”
😁😂🤣
I went on this every single movement made me feel like my legs got chopped off
Really? Im sorry to hear that. Sounds very uncomfortable.
Your probably to fat
How?
If a ride at a Disneyland park could be anything you can imagine i think it would be a mix and mingle ride from the Disney show Phineas and Ferb.
I was at animal kingdom and went here I was mind blown how good it was.It also had that funny feeling in ur stomach.But the ride took 2 hours but it was worth it.❤️Watching this again makes me scared😂 I stared holding so tight bc I was scared and it was so realistic I started sweating
I always waited 3 hours for this, I don’t regret it at all
As someone who has skydived, there a couple of moments where I felt like I was back in the air again. Amazing ride, the best ride Disney has by far at WDW. It won't give you the rush of roller coaster, but there's something more emotional about this ride. Loved it and plan to ride it many more times when we return.
Music is and theming can be so powerful 👌
When I stepped on that Tron lightcycle and got to soar over the magnificent Globnar trees, I felt more joy in my life than when I first saw the face of my newborn son. Tears.
Let me tell you guys who are hopefully going on this ride. ITS AWESOME NIGHT TIME IS THE BEST TIME TO GO THE WHOLE PLACE LIGHTS UP!!!
Yup that’s when I went 2 weeks ago, my favorite ride ever and I’ve been to so many amusement parks.
I was literary screaming the whole ride😁😁😁 great video
I LOVE THIS RIDE ITS SO COOL
I went on that ride it was so cool and I actually felt like you were really there I want to go back to animal Kingdom it’s so cool
Awesome ride love it!!!!
I REMEMBER THIS RIDE😍😍 I loved it
The ride is very diffrent i was there 5 hours ago and now the begining is alot shorter this is the scariest in my opinion
Instead of 16 dots were now have each party on a dot similar to how rides like test track and mission space operate
I wish I was still in Disney world.
I stayed at Disney's contemporary resort and it was awesome!
I always wish the same thing. We stay at shades of green.
It was simply awesome. I just did last weekend. Out of this world.#pandora
Love the pun!
It is a truly different experience in person, 10/10, definitely recommend
Yes. It is very difficult to explain how good it is.
You need to go to that thing to hace the real experience, i went to that in my birthday, it was OMG!!!!!!!!
just recently i looked up and realized ur in a giant theater almost like soarin. i was so surprised. this ride deserves all of its long waits because it actually feels likes ur in the movie it’s great
My first time! Worth getting up at 5:15 AM to be close to the front of the line at the 7AM opening. The combination of 3D immersive video and flight simulator coordination is absolutely amazing! Definitely the best ride experience at WDW! 👍👍👍👏👏👏
I agree. Glad you enjoyed it.
not only at disney but any park anywhere
Absolutely the best ride ever!!
Omg I loved that ride!
The line for that was WAYYYYYY TOO LONG..and only for a ride that is 6 minutes!!! It TOTALLYY wasn't worth 3 hours of waiting (yes I'm serious)but I totally enjoyed this ride.
I love the Avatar ride in Disney World. I went on it and it was fun and exciting.
off topic but at the beginning i didn’t realize, but cristina vee (one of my favorite voiced actors) voiced that part. ahhhhhhh
My whole family rode this but I was sat outside alone on a bench because I felt like I was going to pass out :( so thank you for this!
😭 i miss orlando florida my hotel was the best and i went on this ride it was awesome
WarPhoenixPlayz We miss it too. It may be two years before we go back.
I know this is 5 years ago but brilliant idea to film from the personal item holder area. Mom's everywhere are grateful
Thank you.
This is not completely like soarin..only in some ways. Soarin lifts and tilts u slightly upward into a screen. Flight of passage starts u off feet high in the air and the entire platform actually moves and drops you.
jaypaidincash its way better lol
Exactly what I wanted to see . Thank you !
You are welcome.
Wow even the camera had fun lol😂
I love ride is Cool bro
Literally have to watch this every day bc it’s the only f*cking thing that makes me happy
This is such a great video! Thanks for posting!
Great video of this experience!
I already rode this ride so much! It’s amazing!!
I always want to ride the avatar flight of passage
Best ride in the world, from England
Are there levels that are more intense than the others? I was able to go on only once last December and it felt in between Soarin' and Star Tours, so not really intense. I would love to go on it again sometime in the future, hopefully in the years after the Star Wars land crowds filling up all the parks goes down.
We went on twice and it looks like every seat gives you the same intensity.
Jane Usero Oh ok, thanks!
Yeah when I went to Florida I went on the soarin it’s was so fun and cool then we went back to Epcot another day and we did it again!
Nice video! I feel the same way ... "no, no, no" when it is over!!!!!
I've been on this it's sooooooo good!
this ride has set the standard for all rides to compare to it is by far the best ride ever not even the best coasters in the world compare i often say that i hope heaven is somewhat like this ride!!!!!!
I went to Disney like a month ago and I only went on like 2 rides w/o a fast pass lol
how much is the fastpass vs. regular ticket?
@@chronicillz1879 fast pass is free but you only get a limited number. Though once you've used them up you can get more
Dang can’t believe all of us went there at the same exact spot and we all experienced that amazing attraction
Espectacular 😍😍😍😍😍
I just went on this ride two days ago and it was great can't wait to do it again
I can see a way to cut down the 5-7 hour wait drastically by removing the 10 minutes of preshow that really dragged on too long. 10 min of preshow for the 5 minute ride. that's silly.
There are I think 4 chambers total, but even if it's just two, cutting out the 10 minutes would allow 8 more GROUPS of people per hour. If each chamber holds 8 people, that is 64 MORE people per hour that can ride!
I agree. The two separate shows are not necessary and do drag on.
The preshow video content is dynamic , if there is a ride delay and they are not ready for the next group , there will be a malfunction example of the genetic scanning system in the video to give them time to get things back in sync for the next group.
The ride itself cant support more groups due to the length of the film experience itself (4:25) plus the short time for the riders to disembark and for the Disney cast members to reset and check of the ride vehicles for the next group. , the queue is a lot more interesting then simply standing there idle to wait for the next possible ride loop , the queue designed in to be part of the ride experience as well and explains aspects of the content..
@@allrock1238 Oh, I always thought that was intentionally scripted, as every time I went on the ride, the genetic scanner would need to be reset.
I remember going here in Florida and it was my favorite and the Mount Everest
I went on this ride before it was really fun and cool thumbs up if ya
Want to now more
まさにこのような映像探してました！
Wow I love this kind of ride to adventure, this is in which country, I hope in future to visit your country so can I ride in this kind of ride
Eman Albana This is in Walt Disney World in Florida. They have so many different and amazing rides. This is their newest. I hope you can get there one day. I know you will love it.
Jane Usero O.k thank you very much about nice adventure rides you give it to me and all the details for your park, because maybe this year I am going to visit America, so I hope to coming to your nice parks and activities
💪👌👍
I've just seen the commercial for this and my curiosity brought me to this really great video that shows people how the ride moves and things you could expect to be a part of. I imagine sensory overload is what makes this ride so cool and something you have to personally experience for the thrill. Thanks for sharing this!
It definitely is a sensory overload ride. Its stunning, amazing and exciting. I went on it again about a week ago and filmed the screen from the seat so you can see the scenes. I will be posting it in the coming weeks.
When I went here I screamed my organs out and it hurt plz like
That sounds very painful. 😁
I’ve been on that ride, and if you plan to go to Disney that is literatly the best ride there. Usually it’s a 1-2 hour wait but it’s really worth it😍. That’s why you should plan to get fast passes like 3 months before you go, so you can get on the ride in 5 minutes
It seems like the entire floor goes up and down, and keeps dropping.
Yeah
