Hmmm . . . . either when they had the fountain meltdown in Epcot, OR . . .. when zazu and lago burned up the Tiki room.

Those darn birds must have escaped to hang out with the Banshees

They should have gone to the Na'vi river journey . . . since they are so hot headed, a little swim might be good for them

On a happy ending, was able to get back tonight and ride FOP with the fastpass. In and out of the park in about an hour or a little more. Skipped river journey this visit. The land is very pretty at night and the ride...wow. Just wow on so many levels. Even my boyfriend was pleased and he was against going back!

So happy to hear you got on and even happier to hear you loved it.

In Windtraders right now (right after getting off of FoP) and they have ton of banshees in boxes ready to go for people to take home. Only 4 on the actual branches.

I felt really bad for you - so glad you went back and so glad you liked it. Thanks for reporting back!

I thought the same thing about the coins. I can understand a fountain or something but this is a stream in a beautiful setting. Throwing coins in there is just not good.

I really don't get this culture of throwing coins in still water. Do people really think it works in reality? If so, I would rather go meet Tinkerbell and ask for some pixie dust! That is included in my park admission and won't cost me an extra penny.

So true - and it is when you wish upon a STAR, not when you wish upon a coin chucked into water!

Rohde made a post a few weeks ago on coins being thrown into water. Wasn't pertaining to Pandora though. Interesting to read some of his long insights into stuff

 

[CAS239]

Saw WDWNT posted that they had only some of the blue banshees back in stock.

And they turned up the brightness of some of the lights within Pandora. But I believe it's more so pertaining to lights to see where you're walking better and not bioluminescence

It has happened 3 times in 2 days now. And Disney has been at this for almost 70 years. They have people who get paid a lot of money to consider these types of things.

There's always something, not just at Disney. I just normally expect a problem. It seems to be the way things are...it is inevitable that there will be a glitch. It will get fixed and we will move on.

 

[ThistleMae]

We just left. This is a bit ridiculous. We are both very disappointed. Not sure we can make it back tonight and we leave in the morning. I am not pleased to say the least since this was the day I had the best options for fastpasses. Plus I planned this trip as my actual post deployment vacation.

Oh, so sorry to hear that you may not be able to ride...that sucks! I would be very upset if I didn't get an opportunity to ride due to "ride issues." I hope it goes back up for you!

Rode both Pandora Attractions today!

We had FoP FPs at 2:30 and it was down then - so they changed to Anytime FPs. They reopened FoP about 3:30 so we tried again! We got all the way to the room (where it happens), got strapped in and waited about 10-15 minutes strapped in before getting booted out bc 'our' room was down! It turned out ok though bc they then gave us 2 Anytime Passes!

We went back a couple hours later (6:30ish) and rode both. FoP was AWESOME! NRJ not so much - I doubt we ride it again until the line is 10 minutes or less!

Okay, lots of folks in here just didn't care for NRJ, or at least wouldn't get FP's for it. I love Pirates...it's not that long but I love the theming, it's one of my favorite rides. So, do you think I would feel similar to NRJ? Just curious.

You are right, lots here didn't like RJ. I did like it quite a lot, it's a beautiful ride. Though it's a bit short. Shorter than Pirates by quite a bit, I think. Had it been as long as Pirates I think it would be much better. The length is why I wouldn't get a FP for it over FoP. I think you can ride it stand by with a reasonable wait at some times of the day, and it will get easier to figure out. FoP is such a better ride I'd rather FP it twice.

i rode FOP 5 times this past week
still incredible..

I think that if the waits were down to maybe 30 minutes for NRJ people would say they enjoyed it more. Like others have said the downfall is that it is short, it is a beautiful, calming ride.

 

[ThistleMae]

I wonder why it's so short? Well, can't wait to try it out just the same. I love calming rides. Doing the countdown to my 30 days for FP+ and hoping for something! As I said many pages back, I can't wait in line for two hours...foot issue. I will be wearing a "medical boot" for my Achilles tendonitis. Standing can be an issue but I'm going to try to tough it out, unless the standby line is 3 hours long...ugh!

Does Flight of Passage have a single rider line? I read here that it does buy spoke to someone who just returned and she said there is No single rider line?

it has one but it is not operational yet. Some CM have said that it will never be operational but only time will tell

My kids just enjoy throwing the coins - like a game

Plus the money goes to charity
