While "Avatar: Flight of Passage" offers an incredibly immersive and thrilling experience, there are elements that some guests may find intense. Here are a few considerations to keep in mind:
Simulated Flight and Motion: The attraction simulates the sensation of flying on the back of a banshee, which involves dynamic movements, dips, and turns. These simulated flight motions, coupled with the 3D visuals, may be intense for individuals who are prone to motion sickness or have a sensitivity to virtual reality experiences.
Heightened Sensory Stimulation: The attraction utilizes a combination of visuals, sounds, scents, and even the sensation of wind to create an immersive experience. The heightened sensory stimulation, including the 3D effects and the sensation of speed, may be overwhelming for individuals who are sensitive to intense sensory inputs.
Enclosed Spaces: The attraction features individual ride vehicles that secure guests in a seated position. The feeling of being enclosed or restrained may be uncomfortable for individuals who have claustrophobia or anxiety in enclosed spaces.
Consider discussing any concerns with a Cast Member before riding or experiencing the attraction from a distance to gauge its suitability for you or your group. There is also a demonstration ride vehicle in front of the attraction, if you wish to test it out before entering the queue.
