Great Flight of Passage plan - It'll look crazy. The line will be crazy.

My advice is definitely to take the shortcut....

The rope drop will end over by the Restrooms on the right side of the map, to open up River journey as well.

Most people will take the giant path that loops around River Journey to Flight. - If you can... Go the small bridge path in the center near the water feature instead. - You'll get there quicker. It's known for getting people across Pandora with crowds efficiently :hilarious:

FYI, @TheOriginalTiki , if you rope drop, you can not do the bridge trick @MonorailRed brought up. You must loop around the long path towards Satuli and Africa, before ops loops you back through outdoor overflow and into the standard queue. If you go the bridge route (and I speak from personal experience,) a CM will tell you to turn around and join the throng of people going the other way. Make sure to keep right when rope dropping, although if you rope drop early enough, you will miss the ruins, forest, and lab portions of the queue.

That's interesting because we both did this plan rope drop last July and had no problems with being turned around -- though if you have had other experiences then I wouldn't risk it.

I worked rope drop from May - August. They've tried several different variations of handling morning crowds since the first preview day, though I've never had any issues with the small bridge near the drum circle during rope drop.

If a cast member is blatantly blocking the bridge access path, I wouldn't take it - but early on they never had us doing that, per Joe Rohde's orders. ;):) Since DAK is all about exploratory options, the middle pathways were clear, except for the large one connecting the Tiffins bridge to Pandora.

@TheOriginalTiki to add on to the map -- if I'm understanding @Magic Feather correctly, I added in that path.

I don't think this is something in need of too much studying or stress....as long as you don't head into Asia accidentally you'll be riding Flight of Passage within 30-45 mins. Which is much better than 150 mins.

It's your first time...follow the crowds and enjoy...and then if by the 2nd visit you feel more comfortable with the layout, you can try the tricks. ;)
