Avatar Flight of Passage is a 3D flying simulator in Pandora - The World of Avatar, the area of Disney's Animal Kingdom based on James Cameron's Avatar films. Riders sit astride a motorbike-style seat, called a link chair, and wear 3D glasses for a simulated flight on the back of a mountain banshee over the landscape of Pandora. Disney presents the ride as a rite of passage like the bonding of Na'vi hunters with their banshees.
The attraction opened on May 27, 2017, together with the rest of Pandora. It was designed by Walt Disney Imagineering with Lightstorm Entertainment and Weta Digital. Wikipedia gives a ride time of 4 minutes 24 seconds.
Disney's Animal Kingdom sets a minimum height of 44 inches for the ride.
