We liked the ride BUT we didn’t wait long at all the times we rode it. I would not find it worth even an hour wait. I’m sorry this happened to you. That is a long wait for any ride to me!
I agree! We waited for about 100 minutes last August for FOP as try as I might, we could not get any fast passes for it. I thought that was too long and I like FOP a lot.We liked the ride BUT we didn’t wait long at all the times we rode it. I would not find it worth even an hour wait. I’m sorry this happened to you.

My son (6) liked it quite a bit. We had a FP for it though!
Strangely enough, I could not get another day-of FP for it! FOP kept coming up but not this one.
While I wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes for this myself that description is correct.There was no "story" line. No intro. It says on the AK map that you go looking for a shaman, but there is nothing on the ride that indicates this. The line queue itself was incredibly dull as well. Could have had screens with story line (think Kilimanjaro Safari) and background indicating why you will go through the rivers looking for the shaman - or giving intros to the creatures you will see.... they could have done with a life size animatronic animal. Ellen's Energy adventure had better animals than this new ride. Okay, yes the colors were pretty and the little jellyfish-like things are cool. The actual Na'vi shaman was neat, but overall nothing spectacular from our perspective.
I agree with the above completely.This is such a sad situation. Honestly, I love NRJ. I think it is a visually beautiful experience, but it is a short ride, and in a part of the park that is insanely popular, so the lines for it get ridiculously long, leading to disappointment in the experience. We have always had FP for the ride, and so have never had to wait very long for it. I would not wait an hour to ride it, but I don't think the ride is a disappointment. The line for the ride is a disappointment.
One day when we are traveling with grandkids who are young, think it will be appealing!The first time we rode it we waited about 50 minutes for it, but that was because we had nothing else to do and wanted to experience it. We enjoyed it and still do. It is a good ride (with a FP or short wait) for those with toddlers. AK is lacking in rides for little ones and my granddaughter really likes this one.
