Pandora Previews

So - who has been lucky enough to get into a Pandora preview? What do you think of previews that you've been seeing on other websites (sorry that I couldn't get down there to preview for you all). Are you excited about the things that you've been seeing and hearing?

I can't wait to try the Banshee Flight, but honestly I'm worried about fitting into the seat.

Here are a few Flight of Passage reviews I've rounded up. The reason mostly being to toss out the question of size into the discussion of this ride. While there seems to be no question on the coolness of this new ride - from what I am reading only between 75% - 80% of guests coming through are actually getting to experience it. The rest are asked to leave because they don't fit into the link chair.

Cast members that my friends have spoken with do say that they are taking notes on everyone who leaves so that Disney can improve the experience - yes - we need to remember that previews are a test period and things can change. None the less it seems like Disney has a HUGE margin of error here. My understanding is that the problem most people are having are not only waistline, or bustline, but calf size as well. I'm also had a friend told that they haven't seen anyone much over 6'4" be able to fit because they just can't get their legs into the right position. Hrmm - this also means that folks with limited flexibility of their legs may have a rough time.

What do you think about the Flight of Passage size issue? Should it be OK is "Pooh sized" people can't ride some things? Is there a percentage of guests not fitting on that is acceptable? And do you think that Disney will fix the issue?

I'm excited about it all! We are going to TRY to go down for a short weekend before July to check it out. There are no fastpasses at this point of course but we can just stroll and take it in.
