Avatar Flight of Passage Tips

  • Scary Factor: Not generally scary, but can feel intimidating due to immersive 3D visuals and the sensation of flying.
  • Speed: Not fast in terms of actual movement; the feeling of speed comes from realistic visuals and simulator motions.
  • Ride Duration: Avatar Flight of Passage is approximately 5 minutes long.
  • Drops: None. The sense of dropping is simulated through visuals and motion but is smooth and controlled, without real physical drops.
  • Pregnancy Advisory: Not recommended for pregnant guests due to motion simulation and the nature of the restraints.
  • Accessibility: Fully accessible to ECVs and wheelchairs, with a long inclined queue. Some chambers require stairs, but elevators are available upon request.
  • Sensory Advisory: The pre-ride show features intense light and sound effects that may overwhelm sensory-sensitive guests. The ride includes air, mist, scents, and a 3-D screen, with a vehicle that mimics the sensation of riding a living, breathing animal.
  • Plus-Size Friendly: Yes, however the motorcycle-style seat with back and side restraints may not accommodate all body shapes comfortably. Test seats are available outside the ride to ensure a proper fit.
  • Best Age Group: Ideal for kids aged 5+ (who meet the height requirement), teens, and adults. Appeals to anyone who loves immersive, visually stunning experiences.
