Disney World’s Most Popular Ride Is Also It’s Most Underrated. Let Me Explain.

You read the title right…but we’re here to explain!

Flight of Passage consistently posts the highest wait times in ALL of Disney World. This week, its average grew even more from a 115-minute average to a 118-minute average (yikes!). But when you think of the most iconic or popular rides in Disney World, do you think of Flight of Passage?

When asked that question, many go to Magic Kingdom rides like Big Thunder Mountain or Space Mountain, or rides with high wait times at Hollywood Studios like Rise of the Resistance or Slinky Dog Dash. But we feel like Flight of Passage still isn’t talked about enough, despite posting the highest wait times!

Flight of Passage is a 3D attraction where you are matched with an Avatar and ride on the back of a banshee. The visuals are absolutely stunning — Disney really outdid themselves with this ride.

Check out that and all of the average wait times in Disney World from the past week in all four parks.
