FOP - Is it REALLY worth it?

[nquart]

Does the 10.33am/11am fast pass trick still work? That's the only way we got one for FOP. I'm glad we did it (not seen the film but can appreciate a stunning ride) but our DD didn't really enjoy it (too many drops for her) so we won't go on again.

Comments about comfort of the seats taken onboard. My main concern is that it looks like the front of your shins are pressed into something - maybe cushioned, maybe not. As Chris has had skin grafts on the front of one shin, we'd prefer to minimise that kind of pressure on the area. He also has a false knee and limited range of movement in the joint, so it's unlikely he could bend his knee as far back as some of the shots I've seen appear to require.

Not ride is worth a 3 hour wait for me but that’s my personal opinion, my back could not take it lol
I would try to get a FP and failing that I would get there early and leg it for the ride because it is my all time favourite ride EVER!
My husband in the other hand prefers roller coasters

According to the app, there's a 240 min wait for FoP. Bonkers! I thought Feb was supposed to be light? I'm worried about the wait times in April for sure.

That being said, I'd definitely queue as long as I have to. I MUST do this ride lol

Not this February it's not! We've been here since the 10th and it's been incredibly busy

If you aren't near the front of the FOP line in the morning then i'd wait. Keep checking FPs, heard people checking between 10.30 - 10.40 can usually get one. Also another method is to wait until just before park closing and enter the queue. Most people get on and off within the hour

Hi

I'm sure there's a test seat, maybe worth trying to book one and trying it out? It is an odd position but the ride is breathtaking. From what I remember, the leg area, once you were in position (which I understand may be the issue) it didn't feel like you were rubbing anything, they hold you in place at your back I'm sure. Still may not be doable but just in case you wanted to try it out. x

I have queued 3 hours for this ride and would do so again in a heartbeat. It is the most exhilarating ride I have been on. So different from anything else.

Obviously I don’t you know his flexibility but I have very big calfs and I was fine. I saw way bigger people than me in there too, as well as relatively small children

You don’t have to lift your leg much at all and honestly, the position you’re in feels natural

There’s a test seat outside and I was nervous reading some complaints last year but I’d be confident saying 99.99% of people will be Ok on the ride
