Is that the one that (according to some in N&R) wouldn't have any lines or popularity because of being a slow-moving boat ride?
It's too nature-ish.
Can't be, because we were told numerous times that Pandora was not even being built.
And that if it was, it would be awful.

It's wait time was longer than FoP. Everyone that I've talked to that's ridden it has been disappointed by it. That made me not too keen on waiting 105 minutes. I'll try again next time.

That doesn't sound too promising.
I wonder how it stacks up against rides such as LWTL (which is actually a must-do of mine. I love the rainforest, prairie, farm scenes at the beginning. Just relaxing ambiance.) If others who enjoy that also dislike River Journey, then that's really concerning.

I'll preface this by saying that I was never excited for Pandora. I've never seen Avatar, I've never wanted to see Avatar, and I still don't want to see Avatar. I've had such little interest in Pandora that I haven't followed its construction. My reaction to the announcement of Pandora was disappointment. I just have zero interest in Avatar and I still wanted something like Beastly Kingdom.
That said, I have to say that Pandora is extremely well done. It's visually a fantastic looking land and Flight of Passage is an incredible ride. First of all, the queue for FoP is really impressive. I especially liked the caverns when you first go in.
I didn't have the highest expectations going into FoP. I figured it would be a nice enough ride but that's about it. I have to say, however, that I was really impressed. I was smiling the whole time. It's just a lot of fun. The experience is a lot like Soarin' but more intense. You really feel like your plumeting downward. It's just a lot of fun. I still have to ask, "Why Avatar of all things?" But it's an incredible ride nonetheless.

LwtL is one of my favorite rides. That and SSE are my two favorite rides at Epcot. Granted, I've never been on the new Soarin' or Frozen, but they both topped TT and the old Soarin' in my book.That doesn't sound too promising.

I love LWTL too. The complaints I've heard about NRJ have all been the same. It's too short, mostly screens, and a little boring. It's probably a decent enough ride. Just not worth the current wait times. A guy I was talking to this week told me to ride NRJ before FoP or I would be really disappointed by it. I obviously didn't take his advice though.

SSE would probably be my favorite WDW ride if it weren't for that ending. For now Pirates is my favorite even though it pales in comparison to the DL version.
My favorite overall ride is HM. Used to be Splash. ToT is also in the conversation.

HM is my second favorite but again I prefer the DL version.

LOVE DL's version of Pirates!
Did you get to see Pandora lit up at night? I couldn't tell if some of those pictures with the glowing plants were from outdoors, or part of an inside queue.

No, I left just before the rain started.
My favourite overall attraction depends on the day. I jump gleefully between Tower of Terror, Soarin' and Splash Mountain for #1.
Rounding out the top five are Pirates and Space Mountain.
I really love Frozenstrom and Mine Train, so they would be six and seven.
And we'll close out the top ten (in no particular order) with IaSW, Haunted Mansion, and Expedition Everest.
