There's one part of the land that I hadn't seen. Yes Park Journey, I am that "someone." 
Here are the restrooms:

i am 6'1" and 250. I'd like to think mostly muscle.
I had no problem fitting on the ride. I have had issues on many other theme park rides shoulder and leg wise. There was another rider who could not ride due to being larger.
With that said, the ride is by far the best ride that I have been on.

Definitely wait. I spoiled some stuff before I went and I'm mad at myself for it. I will say though everything you see on videos does not do the land justice. I was absolutely blown away by both attractions and the land.
Video and photos cannot even come close to depicting the awesome job that Disney has done with Avatar. The whole land is visually awesome. I purposely avoided all but the most basic photos and reviews. Glad I did. It made the experience so incredible.
Our photos look CGI. It is unreal.

Straws in AK? I thought they were banned - or is that only in stuff you bring in yourself?
after riding it i now know why the boats are so small, those turns are tight....

I was a little disappointed with Na'vi River Journey and I had thought this would have been my favorite. I feel like they could have done so much more with this one and it was way to short! Now FoP impressed me and I normally do not like simulators! I thought it was amazing! Maybe my only complaint is it would have been cool to actually see your banshee and the wings during the ride... but still amazing!

I see there are guide rails (like Small World, Pirates, etc. have) along the path, which I find extremely confusing.
Why is that needed? These boats are connected to a track below, much like the Jungle Cruise boats. JC doesn't have guide rails, and this ride shouldn't either. There is no reason one of the keel boats would ever touch the rails. Am I right?
I am hoping that you, or someone else who's been on it, can explain. Nice video btw.

It did not feel tracked in any way. I'm pretty sure the boats were free floating.I see there are guide rails (like Small World, Pirates, etc. have) along the path, which I find extremely confusing.

Huh... odd. Poles sticking down from the boats threw me off.
I find visible tracks kind of distracting. They make the ride feel more limited, more artificial. The free-flowing feeling is nice, but don't think it's worth having visible guide rails.
With many new rides being trackless or having no visible track, I'dda thought they'd do the same with this one.

I know many people can't do Star Tours and Mission Space due to motion sickness, is Flight of Passage the same?

Wow! That was amazing! Thanks for the great video. It looks so visually stunning, I can't wait to see this in person. Although, I think I might be ok if the shaman should ever stop working and sit motionless. She's kind of creepy, like a drunk chick moving to the music and singing along slightly loud and off key. I'll wait for final judgement, that's just the vibe I got from the video.
There have always been straws in AK. It's just that they're all paper straws and not plastic.
DAK had a no straw policy when it opened. The paper straws came in around 2007 - it was a big deal at the time! I remember it well.
Ah. Good to know. Thanks.
