It's so smooth and there is so much to look at, smell and feel. I didn't want the ride to end. Our family spoke about Avatar Flight of Passage the entire way out of the ride and on our bus ride back to the resort. Without giving too much away, we all agree that it's a ride that everyone should experience at least once.
