Hands down, we thought Avatar Flight of Passage was the best ride at Animal Kingdom — heck, it is definitely the best ride at Walt Disney World! It is no surprise this made it to the top of the list for our best rides at Disney for teens too! (Although we haven't had a chance to visit Galaxy's Edge yet.)
Since Avatar Flight of Passage remains the most popular ride in Animal Kingdom, you should visit early in the day or nearer park closing time. It's open for Early Theme Park Entry, and you can purchase an Individual Lightning Lane (ILL) to shorten your wait.
Pandora offers two vastly different rides. The Na'vi River Journey is the more suitable one for kids of all ages. Meanwhile, Avatar Flight of Passage is an intense and fast-moving 3D ride that's better suited for big kids, tweens, and adults.
Standby is a Must for First-TimersFrom being able to place your hand over a Na'vi's on the cave wall to feeling the banshee breathe between your legs as you watch a sunset over an alien sea, and all of the jaw-dropping heart-racing excitement in between, Avatar Flight of Passage is worth the wait.

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.
Is Na'vi River Journey Kid-Friendly? The ride is one of Animal Kingdom's most kid-friendly ones — children and even babies of all ages can experience this attraction, since there is no height limit. The boat moves smoothly and the ride itself is actually pretty calm and peaceful, with no scary or surprise elements.
Avatar Flight of Passage is a 3D flying simulator attraction within Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Set in the Avatar universe, the attraction allows guests to take flight on a native mountain Banshee and soar across the landscape of Pandora.
For safety, you should be in good health and free from high blood pressure, heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by this adventure. Expectant mothers should not ride.
We would like to mention that a couple of friends have experienced motion sickness while riding Avatar Flight of Passage. Guests who suffer from motion sickness need to be warned that this ride is on a whole new level than any other simulator/movie attraction at Disney.
The Pandora-themed attraction draws Guests in each and every day and typically has over an hour wait time — if not two hours. Unfortunately for some Guests who recently rode Avatar Flight of Passage, they experienced an extremely long line due to the ride operating at a reduced capacity.
