I didn't read the entire thread, so I apologize if this has been answered already. I'm not seeing any pregnancy restriction on FoP. Is that correct?
That is not correct. There is a pregnancy restriction written in the warnings at the ride and on the app. For whatever reason it just isn't online yet.
just saw on Facebook someone wrote this regarding FoP and the intensity of the ride:
" Yes, I did ride the ride! I don't ride Star Tours because of an equilibrium issue....
and while they have all the same warnings (high blood pressure, heart problems, expectant mothers should not ride, etc) I took the chance and did not find it anywhere near the intensity of Star Tours. You are sitting on what looks like a motorcycle, and there are braces put in place behind your legs and your back.
You should make the determination yourself based in your own physical limitations whether to ride the ride or not."
What happened on the first two days was that guests began to line up earlier and earlier. Arriving an hour early for the first session on the first day put you towards the front of the line. By the end of the second day, and hour early put you half way or towards the rear of the line. Anyone arriving on time didn't get a FoP return time.
But the process is being tweaked on a daily basis so by the time DVC/AP previews roll around, hopefully it'll be set up so that everyone attending will be able to experience FoP.
All in all a great addition to ak, you could easily spend half a day there. Lots of photo opportunities

I'm at DHS now
Asking again...is it the screen-work in FOP that creates the weightless "drop" type feeling or does the seat actually drop? If it's the screen-work, one can simply close their eyes if those feelings become too intense. Can someone that has ridden confirm? Thank you!
From everything that I have the screen and 3d does most of the motion. Yes the seat moves to but it does not raise or lower. So i am guessing this is all done with effects
Just one thought... I have been on Peter Pan during the start of EMH where they were skipping the full queue... don't know how frequently that happens, but it has definitely happened to us...I figured the FP line missed the queue. It always does.
My plan is exactly like yours. We'll FP the ride and use EMH for a chance to see the queue.
Well, that is really what they are for. I mean, it's nice that they are letting CM, AP and DVC be the guinea pigs but they are just that, test subjectsGuess it is good they are having all these previews so they can work out kinks with the rides, and add what the need, etc.
Curious, where behind the knee does it fit? Right at the bend? Just below? Just above?I'll be writing these by subject.
Our preview time slot was noon to 2pm, i just came out of Pandora (4pm) no one looked like they were politely being told to leave
For in line at 10am and was 4th in line.
They let us in at 11:40 am paper fp for FoP noon to 12:15pm. My friend had a baby and she got a rider swap.
I went in with her husband, actually first in, the fp line goes through the outdoor queue, but once inside it's a quick walk top the loading queue, you do miss most of the standby.
Bad news, the ride was down, waited a full hour and 15 to ride
Spoiler free: it's soarin x 10. Beautiful, no distortion on the screen, gentle and smooth.
For spoiler full pm me
In my hour wait I did ask about body shape. Cm said that she hasn't had a problem but they have 3 safety points that have to click. One right below your chest, one on your back and one behind your knee.
It seems that the one at the knee is giving problems, I am very short and had to move my feet all the way in, pressed against the front of the vehicle, for it to click.
I had room on my torso to move so that wasn't a problem
She did say they are installing a ride vehicle in the front
While we waited I asked if they had a "ride down" announcement, cm looked at me and said "there's a lot of things we still need to have" she was obviously frustrated, I felt bad for all the cm, they all looked apologetic.
I would make an hour line on standby for this ride, I walked the standby line and it's amazing, super detailed
