A lot of people are too scared of it. The wait seems like it is usually shorter than what you'd think given how well known the ride is and the general lack of things to do at HS.

It falls right around or below Splash which is the last one I included. The problem is, it doesn't score as wonderfully with kids and seniors for some reason. Probably the horror aspect. If you just measure teens and young adults, it would fall in the middle of that list.
But again, in my opinion, ratings don't begin to tell the full story. It's an icon, it makes the park stronger, and it's the ride I've heard referenced most outside of these circles. Much like KS, it succeeds on the advertising front.
Anyway I didn't mean to veer the thread.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I rode Flight for the first time last weekend, and while I didn't take any pictures, what I remember of the glasses looks nothing like pictures I've seen online. The ones I'm looking at right now on Google Image search look way bigger than what I remember, and I don't recall there being any opaque blue sections on the ones we wore.
None of us had any issues with sliding or fitment, including my father who wore his over eyeglasses.

was wondering if the platform that the "banshee" are on swings out and up like soaring does, or if a wall opens in front of you letting you view the screens?
Day of arrival is dicey. You have to be at 60 days and hitting the website right at 7 AM and be lucky. Most people report that at 60+3 there is no problem getting FoP FPs.

Thanks Mister Penguin! After thinking about it, I think the plan is at 7AM on 60 days out is to grab last day to ensure we get them and then go try to get day 1. With it being a runDisney weekend, I imagine there will be a lot of people checking in on that Thursday.

There is just a wall that opens in front. The room goes up and down about 2-3 feet during the ride, but it doesn't swing out or up.

Unlike Soarin, riders in each theater board at one of three tiers of motion platforms, so the riders are already in position before the ride begins. Walls in front of each platform retract upwards and inwards, revealing the screen.

I think it's more than that, closer to 6-8 feet at least
Nope. I've watched the pistons holding the racks of passengers moving them up and down, it's not that much.

That seems about right from what I can remember. There's some hidden camera footage on YouTube too of people who left cameras running on the stowage shelves behind the vehicles.

It will be difficult because everyone that checks in before you, will already have access to that day you arrive. You probably will be able to get fast passes, they will just be in the evening. However, for later in your trip, you’ll have no problem!
Here's one of those videos. If you keep track of a person's head or a piece of the grating, it's not more than 4 ft. by my estimation.

The last time I rode it I watched backwards the whole ride. It is definitely 2-3 feet.
