Avatar Flight of Passage wait times

What it is

A 3D flight on the back of a banshee over the world of Pandora: you sit astride a motorbike-style seat that breathes and moves under you. Breathtaking, with a feeling of height and speed but no real drops.

Thrill level: ●●●●● Thrilling (4/5) · motion-sickness risk · heights · indoors · must be 44 in (112 cm) or taller

Opened: 27 May 2017 (9 years ago)

Best time to ride

Quietest: around 7pm (typically ~30 min posted). Busiest: around 11am (~65 min). In the first 15 minutes after the park opens it typically posts ~65 min.

Typical means the median posted wait across every day in our log at that hour; crowd level, weather and breakdowns move it. For a specific date, the planner adjusts for that day’s forecast crowd.

Through the year2015–2021 history

Average posted wait by month from 2015–2021 records. Waits ran higher before the current Lightning Lane system, so read this for the seasonal shape — which months are busiest — not for today’s numbers; the hourly table above is current.

Posted vs real wait

Disney’s posted waits run high. For Avatar Flight of Passage, a posted 60 minutes at 2pm has typically meant about 53 minutes in line, and at 8pm about 46 (from timed waits people recorded, 2015–2021 — before today’s Lightning Lane system, so treat it as an estimate). DisneyIQ shows both numbers on the live board.
