*****UPDATE***** 3:2o PM Eastern We are seeing that both Flight of Passage and Na’vi River Journey are back up and running again. No official word yet as to the cause of today’s evacuation.
Pandora is experiencing a second day of evacuations of its Flight of Passage and Na’vi River Journey attractions. We reported yesterday on two separate incidents of Disney asking all guests to exit both rides and their respective queues. Reedy Creek Fire and Rescue responded with what has been reported from a Disney spokesperson as a “precautionary response to a fire alarm sensor activating”.
Today (only 2 weeks after Pandora opened) brings about the 3rd round of evacuations to what we can only assume is due to the same issue.

@WaltDisneyWorld you know I love you, but I just waited 3+ hours in Flight of Passage line, was evacuated and no compensation or fastpass??

Many guests have taken to Twitter to express their frustration. We are also seeing no FastPasses are being issued to guests due to the issue.
@WaltDisneyWorld you should be ashamed of the way your Flight of Passage staff handled the "emergency" just as we were about to board!

Waited over 2 hours for Flight of Passage only to be evacuated in the last room. So upset.
