FOP or FJ?

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I actually prefer FJ... The line moves a lot faster, its popularity has died down, and I enjoy the good combination of both physical sets and screens. I also find the queue line for FJ to be much more fascinating.

A bit tough, considering they're both two of the best theme park rides of the past decade. I love both of them, but although FoP is definitely outstanding with wonderful immersion with great theming, I would probably have to say FJ is better, because I think the robotic arm ride system makes for a very unique experience, and there's a great balance between the screens and the forest scenes with AAs. It's one of the best rides at Uni, and I wish more of their simulators were like it, and less like Fallon or F&F. 
Hopefully the new HP coaster being built will live up to the standard as well.
My mom would probably disagree with my opinion, though. FJ made her horribly motion-sick, but she did fine with FoP and loved the entire thing. Personally, there isn't any ride that makes me sick, not even Mission Space Orange.

I was completely blown away by both of them......still am.
But I'd give a slight edge to FOP.

yea i still dont really see the hype for it. i rode two days ago and while it’s fun, I don’t get all the hype for it. FJ amazed me more than FOP.

I would have to agree with your mom! I love HP so much, and could spend days at Uni in those sections, but sadly I cannot ride FJ. EFG is hoot, though, and I love to be able to ride that. Almost all motion simulators make me ill, so I was pleasantly surprised - I can ride FoP! Now I love it, it's so exhilarating! I like the combination of screen and physical effects.

FOP didn't have spiders. So that's wins it wins for me. Both rides are good though. I prefer coasters to either ride, so while I like them, I don't consider either terribly thrilling or amazing. Really good, but not exceptional.

My mom likes Gringotts too. The only two rides there that she can't handle are FJ and the Simpsons Ride. Also, Wild Arctic and Manta (even though that's a coaster) at SeaWorld. She does fine on literally everything else. I feel like she definitely wouldn't be able to handle MS Orange though.

I prefer FJ because it has an awesome ride system and I love the physical sets and the queue line and the fact it dialed Orlando's theme-park-competition-ometer to 10.

They are both fantastic attractions, but in terms of attraction development, FoP is evolutionary and FJ is revolutionary.

FOP for me. Both are great attractions but for all the great things about FJ, the story line feels a bit rushed and distracting.

I can't ride any motion simulators at Uni. I couldn't believe how badly I reacted to the Minion attraction. I don't do coasters too well either (bad back), but EE seems to be ok for me at least once. Space Mt. and Mummy are a little too jerky. My boys (now 26,23) won't even let me attempt Simpsons, lol.My mom likes Gringotts too.

what's forbidden Journey?

Forbidden Journey will stand the test of time. Flight of Passage probably won’t. Forbidden Journey has a likable IP and a variety of effects (some timeless) and a story. Flight of Passage has cool technology and the day that the technology falls apart, the ride is embarrassing. It won’t happen for a long time but... I think the day will come.
