We bought lightning lane passes for Flight of Passage and were in the preshow with a large family. One of the kids who was about 8 or 9 got nervous during the preshow and started telling his family he didnt want to go on the ride. I think the family had clearly waited the posted hour and a half wait and were insisting the child get on the ride. I dont know if it was too late in the queue but I was surprised the CM didnt offer a rider swap option as the kids was screaming that he didnt want to be on the ride while she was still checking the restraints. He screamed and cried for the full 4 minutes. Two family members thought it would be helpful if they counted down until the ride was over, so they loudly counted down from 60 in unison, and they dad was trying to yell over the kids screams to assure him he was going to be ok. The four of them yelling and crying was so overwhelming I wanted to start crying.
I've ridden the ride before and remember how amazing my first experience was. We took my 18 year old niece for her birthday and it was her first time riding it and I was honestly annoyed that it was one her and only experience. I also feel bad for the boy that was forced on the ride, which is partially why we didnt say anything to the CM on our way out, but I was very tempted to say that that ride experience was unfair to anyone who just waited 90 mins for this ride or who paid for the lightning lane. Just curious if anyone else has experienced anything similar and asked to reride?
