Been at AK today. Was able to FP FoP 5 times. They were also using single rider but split people off at the caves from the regular line for it. With silvers blacked out it is just to damn easy to keep rebooking fastpasses.
So, the single rider sign is uncovered!?!Been at AK today. Was able to FP FoP 5 times. They were also using single rider but split people off at the caves from the regular line for it. With silvers blacked out it is just to damn easy to keep rebooking fastpasses.
No. You have to go in the regular line and then when you enter the cave there at cms asking if people wanna do single. I am not sure if you ask out front they will let you. But earlier in the morning they said no single to someone who asked but then it was going later. So maybe they just want it to be on the down low so it doesn't get swamped.So, the single rider sign is uncovered!?!

When the wait was posted 110 it backed up to the bridge outside and the final room before merge was empty. They were yelling at people to keep moving so they really need to deal with the bottleneck at the avatar in the lab.
Mere coincidence, I'm sure.This week's Saturday Six article sure looks a lot like my Hidden Details article from a couple weeks ago. With pretty much 6 out of the 10 things on my list. Even includes a video showing off the fake waterfalls of Pandora. Still a good read this morning. I'm a fan of the series.
It is. The main difference will be how mine has 500 hits and Derek's will get like a billion. And that's okay. I love the Saturday Six.Mere coincidence, I'm sure.
The old saying is quite appropriate in this case..."Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". :thumbsup:This week's Saturday Six article sure looks a lot like my Hidden Details article from a couple weeks ago.

by the way len testa recently said FOP is the highest rated domestic park ride in either Disney or Universal
Finally had the shortest version possible today. Amazing how quick it can be when things are running smoothly on the other side.Where'd the FOP thread go...?
Regardless - learned some deets about the preshow and how it works.
The second preshow is always the same.
The first preshow has a bevy of options. It depends on how long it has been since the doors opened, the doors to the room closed, and if the ride has start.
Depending on elapsed time between door open and close (how long it takes you to get into the room) it can play a long or short intro.
From there, it chooses from a series of 6 scenes to play while it waits for the right timing based on the ride start. If it exhausts these scenes before ride starts it'll switch to the dreaded holding message.
It'll resume the show and play the same matching scene every time once the ride starts.
Strange question, I noticed that dirt smell throughout the land..It seemed to be coming off of lillies throughout...Anyone know the name of them...Or some of the plants used in the park?Doot doot doot... more factoids...
There's 4 scents used in the main show. However, they're not just pumped in for a particular scene. Rather they're mixed in various ratios to compliment multiple scenes.
Fresh Air
Forest (dirt)
Water
"Kharma" (the pink flowers in the cave)
So when you're flying around and go into the cave you'll get Forest and Kharma, but when going through the treetops it's Forest and Fresh Air, on the ocean it's Fresh Air and Water. Stuff like that.
As for the vehicle/banshee movement, it's "breathing" and then each of the wings has its own control to be extended or retracted, and to move at any given speed. So as you're flapping around and make a tight turn or flap backwards the sensation changes.
As for the water sprays, they're not not all synchronized to spray the same way. They are grouped and timed to align with the location of the source.
For the sit-down and link process, the show is running off "hey, you should be seated" - "one set of this level is locked into place" - and "whole level is locked in place and awaiting other theater levels." It has different modes/displays/content and levels of effects for each.
