Actually no I Don't want it wont be low key. A nice mixture of low key/adventure and surprises would be great! I just don't want it to be a simulator!

The blueprints do not suggest a simulator type ride for the boat ride at all.

Yes, a lot of people are hoping for a truly boundry pushing E-Ticket. Personally, I believe that is what we are going to get. I think the ride where you ride the Banshee will be amazing, and will blow our minds. Call me crazy but i think it will be on par if not better than FJ is for UNI.

It has been described here as "Soarin Over Pandora", there's no way that can match FJ or push any real boundaries if that's accurate.

okay i must have missed that part of the thread then. I mean if it wasn't Soarin' over Pandora then i think it could depending on if they develop a new ride system

Soarin Over Pandora is what insiders here have been calling it basically. It'll probably be using higher resolution projections with 3D, but I'm guessing the end result will still be a very similar experience to Soarin. A third ride (some sort of coaster apparently) was under consideration at some point but finally scrapped.

Vekoma's Pandora's Box technology could definitely be ground breaking

Im guessing some of that land to the south, it would make sense to have the rock mountains close to the lake. Keep the illusion of being in pandora much more real.Anyone know how much land this will take up?
Just CMM, or the extra land to the South?

Yeah, if that was the system they're planning to use. There's nothing yet to indicate that we're getting anything of the sort though. It has again been likened to a "Soarin 2.0" or "Soarin Over Pandora" by many here. The Pandora's Box system looks like it's intended to be used in an actual ride with a very extensive range of movement, not a simulator like Soarin.

I have no idea what it will end up being, but in the original Avatar progress thread that guy Tim was saying the main ride was definitely not going to be a Soarin clone. I don't know if he is considered an insider, but he seemed to have some good info and knowledge about the project. I think some of the others call it Soarin Over Pandora as a way to belittle the project. It's the equivalent of calling mine train a kiddie coaster IMHO. If it's just Soarin with video showing scenes from Pandora then the boat ride better be great.

Not at all. A lot of us are hoping that the boat ride remains in the planning and is a nice, relaxing family style ride. DAK desperately needs rides that are calm "experiences" of the type that made Disney parks famous.

I thought the insiders here (in particular @Tim_4 and @articos and maybe @marni1971) have said that the planned ride is substantially different from Soarin' and much more advanced. In particular, I thought that the leaked blueprints are outdated and no longer being considered (four different theaters) and instead it will be a vehicle that moves from place to place and not just stay in front of one screen.

sounds like Spidey/Transformers...

Maybe a combination of a Peter Pan type ride system and spidey/transformers?

I don't think anyone knows the true budget for Avland overall let alone each ride.
For me, I'm budgeting $90 to get me in when that thing opens. Actually by 2017 a single day ticket will probably be about $120

I have no idea. But I know I was imagining a ride vehicle like Soarin' -- so you are suspended and hanging -- that actually moved from location to location. I think it would be more similar to Forbidden Journey than those rides. That said, I could just be over predicting based on what others have said, as I have no inside info.
Others have mentioned the "Pandora's Box" ride system which seems really neat and would certainly be ground breaking for a ride.

Why is that?
Neither of those attractions have ever been refurbished. For Countdown to Extinction that means nearly 15 years of almost uninterrupted operation. Is this unprecedented for a Disney ride?
They both badly need refurbishment, and after a year or so of Pandoraland being open should finally get the chance.
