Thanks.Thanks for the info on this thread- and thank you Sue for putting the link on the Pandora thread! I am so glad I found this. I will be using an ECV for the first time on our October trip, due to back and knee problems, but I can walk slowly for short distances. I watched the video of the flight vehicles and at first I thought- yay! I can do this, but now I'm not so sure. My concerns are whether my body position will strain my back or hurt my knee. I am also concerned about the back support that pops up and whether that might cause any problems. I need to have control of my body position in order to avoid possible back spasms. Soarin is my favorite ride because I really can relax and enjoy it!! I have stopped going on any coasters or even my very favorite, Splash ( which will be closed anyhow..)
If the movements are smooth and not sudden, maybe I will be OK. I really want to ride it, but I also don't want to ruin my trip!
I will keep coming back to this thread to read any reports that will have more of an understanding and sensitivity to physical limitations than I might find on other threads.
Thank you!!
I have not heard any specifics about the FOP, but everything I have heard makes it sound like there would not be anything to translate during the ride (i.e. just 'flight' noises, no talking).Something I find interesting is that FOP lists the hearing accessibility as "Closed Captioning" - which I assume means the queue and pre-shows monitors... and
"Handheld captioning"
I understand how the handheld captioning works, but are they planning on using that for the main movie/attraction? I can't imagine holding one while wearing 3D glasses and straddling the ride vehicle... will there just be no hearing accessibility option for the actual attraction?

Somebody posted in the main Pandora thread that they were allowing ECVs in the FP line for Flight of Passage and having people either transfer for the last 2 rooms or walk it if capable, said it was about 50 feet.
I will be going this Saturday with a friend that will be in a ECV so I should be able to have some first hand informant then if someone dose not post sooner
I have read the Flights of Passage will have something different- some kind of device you transfer to, but that device somehow puts you onto the 'link chair' (ride seat). I don't know anything much more, so hope it actually works for more people than the transfer tier will.
