Help. I am a prisoner in FOP (11/17)

[Haley R]

Totally true saw a dad take a kid to the side and pee in a water bottle yeech

Ew what? Can't you get registered as a sex offender for peeing in public? Unless Florida is different...

Being at WDW and enjoying rides is supposed to be fun. My in-line fun clock runs out at the 25 minute mark, I'd have bailed. Hope you made it through & enjoyed it Elmo007

We were there on a moderately busy day in early October. There was a lady still waiting for her family when we got off the ride from our FP who said they had gotten in line at 9am. It was 330pm.

We overheard a family in October have a very similar conversation-
It had been raining in the morning; but had cleared hours earlier...
Not fun at all

Probably depends on the age of the kid. I have seen more than my fair share of toddlers peeing in the bushes at Disney parks because the parents didn’t want to stop what they were doing to go to a restroom. Sometimes waiting in line for a ride, sometimes for a show or a parade or fireworks. Not something I really want to see on vacation.

That is insane. That’s half the park day wasted. No ride is worth that.

Not a child.

And they are registered because they peed in public, they are registered for indecent exposure.

I am sure glad no one in our family has any interest in Avatar for our trip next week. We will walk through it but I was unable to get a FP+ for FOP so we may do it at park closing or we will hit the ride on one of our future trips. I did get a FP+ for NVJ but when we watched a video of the ride and we all lost interest, I decided to pick up EE instead.

The dad probably read a DIS thread that had a bunch of childish posters saying that they do not care the reason and that if you leave the line you have to go to the back of the line.

 

[AngiTN]

That is pretty extreme. Personally I'd have bailed long before OP did.

Any update on how long it took to ride?

 

[Micca]

While FOP is waaayyy cool, it is NOT cooler than the combined 7 or 8 other rides/attractions you could experience in the 3 hours you might spend waiting in line.

 

[mom22boys]

They just. Announced some difficulties and to expect long wsits. No real info

OP, did you ever get to ride it?

 

[srwarden1928]

I rode FOP three times in the past two weeks. 11/11, 11/14, 11/15. Fastpasses each time. It is the most amazing attraction I have experienced at any park. Not without a fastpass. My days 64, 67, 68.

I think the kid was peeing. Not the Dad.

That doesn’t even seem possible.

At some point any typical person has got to say “obviously something has broken down. The ride will be here the next time. “

And for those who have already decided they aren’t going back, gosh, there are other things to do.

I think her family up and left her. No way did did they get in line at 9 and still not ride at 3:30. None, whatsoever.

Late update.
We got online at 840 am. Line to actually get into attraction ran back to theater for festival of lion king but moved pretty good. They said 90 minutes at that point. When we actually reached standby entrance it said 120 min but again was moving ok.

The problem really hit at around 1030. We were in the area about two switchbacks away from where the exhibits are displayed. They started announcing delays. At that point we were kind of trapped into staying as there are no exits or you have to walk backwards through the crowd. Plus we figured we were near the end. It took almost 2 hours to move that short distance. People started bailing through an exit by the exhibits.

Finally cast members came out and gave everyone 2 fastpasses for 2 days for any park (except for FOP and Navi river ride

End result - made the ride and got out just around 1pm:

Now the real question- was it worth it?

 

[Elmo007]

Hard to say. FOP is Awsome. I went relatively early and was expecting 2 hours not 4. Also if i was standby and they advised a 4 hour wait i doubt i would do again

I once waited 4 hours for the most famous BBQ in the U.S.

We must have been like 100 people in front of you, OP. We were in the exhibit room when they started announcing delays. We heard later from a guy on the tram that right after we must have gotten on, someone got sick all over their vehicle. There is apparently a huge undertaking to clean them up. Plus they already had one section not working, so it was going at half capacity. We got in line at 8:30 and got out at 10:25. I guess we lucked out. DH and I have been at Universal for a couple days and went to AK just for the Pandora rides.
