Lightning Lane
Individual Lightning Lane

Link with a banshee and soar over the bioluminescent landscapes of Pandora in what many consider the best ride at Walt Disney World. This 3D flying simulator seats riders on individual motorcycle-like pods that tilt, dive, and bank while a massive screen and wind, mist, and scent effects create an incredibly convincing sensation of flight. The pre-show features a stunning animatronic Avatar in a science lab. Located in Pandora — The World of Avatar, expect long waits. Lightning Lane or first thing at rope drop is strongly recommended.
