Flight of Passage is a simulator type ride with soaring heights, drops, and quick turns. There's definitely a chance motion sickness will occur.

Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 03/19/2023 We rode once after waiting in the regular line, and once after waiting 10 minutes through Lightning Lanes. A good investment, you save a couple hours for around $14. Flight of Passage really took me on a journey. I'd go back to Animal Kingdom just for this ride.
