In other news, Flight of Passage blew our socks off!#1 reason I don’t watch them or suggest my first time friends watch themOh absolutely! Just a cautionary tale about getting excited based on ride-through videos.
Ha yes, still no Yeti.
probably the worst "new" ride Disney has ever created. We don't even bother with it. Can't believe somebody in mgmt agreed to it. It has absolutely no redeeming value to my family whatsoever. Just my .02
Unfortunately Navi River Journey was the victim of budget cuts when Imagineering was building Pandora. They went overbudget with the whole land + the Shaman animatronic. Thus we are left with what the ride that is there now. I don't think it's bad but it really isn't worth anything more than a 20 minute wait.
I like the ride well enough. I think the inside is beautiful in the colors and vibrancy but really wish it had been kept to a longer length that I believe was rumored to have started with, we needed more time floating through the world and to finish the story. I feel like the placement of the Shaman is too far at the end even with wanting that wow factor because the storyline sorta abruptly ends.
I agree with everything you said. The length was the part that was slashed due to the budget restraints. Like I said I don't think it's bad. I think it's too short for the crazy wait times it gets. When I was there in early-mid May the wait time was in the 60-80 minute range and IMO that is not worth the wait at all, animatronic or not.
Well, I guess I was being too negative. Maybe should’ve said “few” redeeming qualities. But agree that it def isn’t long enough. Would’ve liked a ride more in the vein of Pirates.
Not quite the same though. Yeti doesn’t ever work. Navi does most of the time. It’s not gone for good
I’ve always thought if they just slowed the ride down it would be better. It’s too fast. You can’t see all the details they put in to it. Otherwise, I like the ride fine for what it is, I scenic boat ride. It’s not thrilling but not all rides have to be.
