Don't know if this is buried elsewhere, but for those with young kids, Na'vi River Journey has no height requirement (of course) and Flight of Passage joins Everest, Mission: Space and Space Mountain at 44".
This is going to be far more intense than Soarin'. Sudden dives, turns, and altitude gains will be part of this ride experience.Wow 44" I'm a little surprised by that since Soarin is only 40"
If you get sick on a ride like (throwing it out there) Simpsons I doubt you could do this, but no matter what... it's worth it to try it out once.Anybody know just how intense flight of passage will be? I get motion sickness on some simulators but soarin is fine. Trying to figure out how much more intense this will be.

even the safari can get somewhat bumpy and not be as well tolerated by some.

I am wondering if Animal Kingdom will resort to a Tiered FastPass system whereas the two new Pandora rides will not be in the same tier. And require you to wait in the standby line for one or the other.
I'm not. This is going to have a lot more motion and be more intense than Soarin'. 44" seems about right and should allow them to do some neat things with the ride to make it feel like one is "really" flying.
The important thing is NRJ being height restriction free, though it has been expected. DAK really needs some calmer, more relaxing rides. The safari and Triceratops Spin are the only other rides without restrictions and even the safari can get somewhat bumpy and not be as well tolerated by some. I'd love to see another calmer dark ride added somewhere in the park to round things out.
Can't get much calmer than Dinosaur.
@lentesta and Jim Hill had a discussion about this, and Len seems to be in the camp that it will.I am wondering if Animal Kingdom will resort to a Tiered FastPass system whereas the two new Pandora rides will not be in the same tier. And require you to wait in the standby line for one or the other.
Yeah I don't think we see tiering go into AK but I could be wrong.@lentesta and Jim Hill had a discussion about this, and Len seems to be in the camp that it will.
His suggestion was Na'vi River Journey and Flight of Passage in tier 1 and everything else in tier 2. I could also see Rivers of Light joining them in tier 1.
Personally, I don't think it's necessary long term, but it may be necessary for the initial summer. My larger scale complaints of Fastpass+ aside, I would think the goal is to eliminate tiers in all parks.
Here is a favorite memory from Dinosaur - On my first trip do WDW since I was a kid I knew nothing about Dinosaur except that it had animatronic dinosaurs in it. It was early in our first day in the parks and my (then) 7 year old and I convinced my (then) 4 year old to ride with us to "see the robot dinosaurs" In the queue and preshow the 4 year old had a growing realization that this was NOT what he had signed up. I convinced him to get on anyway and we endured the ride.
As we are walking out of the building the 7 year old says, "Hey Brother, do you want to go on that ride again?" and and of course the answer was a resounding "NO!" As I was about to reprimand the seven year old for insensitive teasing he replies, "Neither do I!"
