Avatar Flight of Passage, 3D flying simulator in Disney's Animal Kingdom, United States

Avatar Flight of Passage is a simulator ride in Disney's Animal Kingdom, Florida, that combines 3D imagery with motion to recreate a flight through the mountain world of Pandora on a banshee. Guests sit on vehicles resembling motorcycles while large screens display an animated landscape.

The ride opened on May 27, 2017, as part of a larger area dedicated to the Avatar film. Walt Disney Imagineering worked with production company Lightstorm Entertainment and studio Weta Digital to create the visuals.

The name refers to the film planet Pandora and its winged creatures called banshees. Visitors today see plants and rock formations that echo the jungle from James Cameron's film and recreate an alien landscape.

Visitors must be at least 44 inches (112 cm) tall to ride, and wait times often exceed two hours during busy periods. It helps to arrive early in the morning or late in the evening when lines tend to be shorter.

The ride film was produced by Weta Digital, the New Zealand studio behind the visual effects of the Avatar films, and every frame of the main show was made for the attraction rather than reused from the movie. Executive producer Amy Jupiter noted that only model, texture and animation assets from the first film served as templates.
