Whether it’s the creepy Haunted Mansion or the epic TRON Lightcycle/Run, Disney fans are treated to otherworldly experiences when it comes to theme park entertainment. One of the most groundbreaking attractions is Avatar Flight of Passage, the exhilarating attraction located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
This cutting-edge ride, inspired by James Cameron’s Avatar franchise, takes visitors on a thrilling journey through the mystical world of Pandora. Riders get to experience the sensation of flying on the back of a banshee, a fictional creature from the movies. The attraction is known for its innovative technology and stunning visual effects, making it a must-visit for any Avatar fan or thrill-seeker at Walt Disney World.
Because of its popularity, there are always eyes on Avatar Flight of Passage. That is why fans were shocked to see some minor ride renovations happen seemingly overnight. One fan shared their report to social media, sparking an online discussion about the changes.

Disney Ride Receives a Surprising Update
Once riders are strapped into their seats and don 3D glasses on Avatar Flight of Passage, the adventure truly begins as they are swept away on a magical flight over Pandora’s landscapes. The ride vehicle simulates the movements of a banshee in flight, creating a sense of realism that transports guests into the heart of the Avatar universe.
From soaring over sparkling waterfalls to gliding through floating mountains, every twist and turn of the ride is designed to evoke a sense of awe and wonder.
The combination of immersive visuals and realistic motion simulation makes this segment of the ride a truly unforgettable experience. On this attraction, the visual elements do the majority of the heavy lifting, making it imperative that they are all functioning perfectly. Unfortunately, many fans have reported in recent months that the attraction’s visuals seem hazy and out of proper alignment.
When fans are waiting potentially hours to experience this attraction, it is a huge bummer not to have the best possible ride experience due to something as simple as projection alignment. Many fans have been frustrated by this for months, and it seems that these concerns may have finally reached Disney’s ears.
