Disclaimer: I legitimately believe that this is one of the most impressive bits of technology in Disney. The combination of the ride “vehicle”, with the movement technology involved in that, and the immersion that results from it is simply impressive.
However, after having this ride THOROUGHLY hyped up for me as a mind blowing attraction, I think I was a bit more underwhelmed than I would have been otherwise.
Firstly, while 3D glasses technology has come a long way, there have been times that I’ve ridden this ride where the 3D has been a hinderance to my enjoyment of the ride. You are greatly benefitted by being as close to the middle of the row as possible, as being on one of the ends not only distorts the images at times, but takes away a bit of the immersion from the fact that you’ve got the wall/end of the screen right next to you. However, even in the middle, the images are sometimes less than crisp, which can really pull you out of the immersion.
I think much of this could be solved by having either a bigger/more substantial screen which would go beyond your periferal field of view a bit more, or by figuring out a way to bring the image a bit closer to the eye. However, it might surprise you to know that I am not a ride designer, so it’s likely WAY harder to do than I give it credit for.
Largely I can recognize that my views here are either nitpicks or more exclusive to me. The vast majority of people will be, and have been, blown away by this ride, and I thoroughly believe they should be!
Pros:
Amazing ride technology Solid ride time, with both fast/exciting moments as well as moments that allow for some calm appreciation of the experienceCons:

Best ride hands down during our very first Disney stay!!! Such an emotional and breath-taking experience!! The earthy smells, the ocean mists, feeling the banshee breathing between your legs as you soar through the lush landscape are only a few of my notable takeaways. If you have the opportunity, do not miss it!! Quite a unique experience to say the least! =) Well done WDW!!!
Pros:
Amazing unforgettable experience!Cons:

This is ride is AWESOME!!! The first time I rode this was multiple years go and prior to going on I had no clue what to expect except was that it was heard to be unlike anything we had ever seen. Throughout the entire ride my mouth stayed dropped. it really does transport you into a brand new world and makes it so realistic in the aspect of riding on a banshee!
Pros:
so awesome and so realisticCons:

All of us love it! We were very scared of it first, but we loved it! Its our favorite Animal Kingdom ride. We do get a little sick on it but it goes away before you know it! We thought the safety of the ride was off too, but no.
