The long hallway is right before preloading, and those shows actually have the safety spiel in them, so not sure how you would avoid that hallway? If you went in the exit, they'd have to make sure no one else was loaded into the pre-boarding room for that spot, otherwise there'd be an overlap for the ride vehicles. You'd still have to wait quite a long time, because they'd have to cycle through once to open that spot up for you. They usually get the rooms loaded as the ride is going through its cycle. So you'd have to wait at least one cycle, maybe two, and they'd have to communicate which exact spot to leave open.9Last time with my DAS pass, I had some issues. Usually my return time for FoP has me walk through the cave type areas but last time I was in this area and a long hallway for some time. I ended up having to leave because my PTSD was triggered. Can I ask to go a different way?
They have told me that they absolutely cannot load anyone through the exit. I've asked multiple times because they require me to transfer into a chair I can't propel to go through the preshows. CMs have even called managers to check and been told no, they can't send anyone through the exit (even though it would be fairly easy given that they load chair users through the exit on a bunch of other rides and manage it just fine, but still.)The long hallway is right before preloading, and those shows actually have the safety spiel in them, so not sure how you would avoid that hallway?

Thank you for your personal experience. I imagine that it might have something to do with the safety video.They have told me that they absolutely cannot load anyone through the exit.

Back when there were Fastpasses, my family used our Fastpasses for myself, my husband and DD who is disabled and uses a wheelchair.Thank you for your personal experience. I imagine that it might have something to do with the safety video.
Yeah, that makes sense.Back when there were Fastpasses, my family used our Fastpasses for myself, my husband and DD who is disabled and uses a wheelchair.
Sometimes, we did Rider Swap and sometimes DD really wanted to ride, but chickened out at the point of boarding. The 3 of us came thru the line and watched the preshows together, then I went on while my husband and daughter walked thru the load/ride area to a waiting area just outside the ride area.
Every time we did that, when my husband went to ride, he was taken a back way to get back to the big room right before the preshow rooms. He has needed to watch the pre shows again, even though he had just watched them a few minutes before.
I‘m sure it is for safety to ensure every rider has seen the safety & boarding information
