That sounds like its on your side then. I know when posting from my phone I fat finger things a lot and have to edit it before posting. But then again I always end up editing something immediately after I post because I think of something to add, so there is that too.

Yeah maybe I’ve been trying to go fast or been a little over zealous with all the D23 stuff.

Jeepers it’s my favorite land too, and I’m definitely against Avatar in GP, but a Gravity Falls dark ride using the little mermaid show building with an entrance flipped over would be kind of cool… the original Mystery Shack was in Santa Cruz…

Gravity Falls would be an awesome IP to add to Grizzly Peak.

I was talking about Performance Corridor. The new land at DCA.

Buena Vista Street and Hollywoodland function the same as any studio park's entrance does. DHS, Paris Adventure Park, Universal Orlando/Hollywood...they all have the classic Hollywood themed initial area to set up the idea that this park is themed to movies. Except, our park isn't themed to movies. But it mostly is. Except Grizzly Peak.
Paradise Gardens I always thought was just an area of Pixar Pier essentially. Honestly, that corner confuses me as its clearly still going for oceanside amusement park. Does DCA have two different oceanside amusement parks located right next to eachother? One is themed to Pixar and features a classic Mickey head as the icon and the other is themed to classic Mickey and Disney. That's why I always assumed they were one overall land with cartoon themed carnival rides.
As for Gravity Falls, I'm completely ignorant of that IP. I know it has an old guy with a fez, but since it wasn't on Disney, I didn't watch it. I think its on Hulu now.

Probably an ID:10T error.

That would be wicked. We have to save the world from Bill Cipher.

PEBCAK error.
don't be telling what a PEBCAK error. Users just pass that by to mean something hi-tech.

For the placement not being very good, I think they are referring to it going into HL and the existing design with the monorail beam compromising the design. For HL to work for Avatar, they would probably have to demo the whole thing, Backlot, Disney Junior, and the Hyperion depending on the scale they want achieve.
For moving it, I think they mean putting in the Simba lot.
From the Hollywood street perspective, over there is the newest set for an Avatar movie.
From the in the land of Avatar perspective you are on the world of Pandora.
There ya go. Easy. It's all make believe no matter how it's presented.
Honestly, I don't really need this, but I recognize it would scratch that itch for those who need the theming to fit well within California. I'm fine with it just being a portal with no explanation.
Backlot area + bus depot is 7 acres, about the size of the Florida Pandora, including ride and restaurant buildings. They wouldn't need to touch the Hyperion, Philharmagic, Animation buildings or the street/trolley, though I could see them wanting to use the Philharmagic space for a future second Avatar attraction.
The concept are seems to line up with the above, which is why you have fan art blending it with that current footprint.

With the benefit of hindsight, I feel like Galaxy's Edge should have gone to DCA and Pandora should have gone to DL. Aesthetically it's going to feel beyond bizarre to have it in the Hollywood Backlot. Portal or no portal.
I feel like they should just bite the bullet and retheme the entire Hollywood area to some weird lush alien planet that can transition smoothly to both to Mission breakout and Pandora. Just move to the portal all the way up to the entrance of Hollywood.

No, its still just a rumor at this point. But based on everything known its a good bet that is where it was planned. Only question is if that is the final landing spot. We'll hear soon enough I'm sure.

Its also a ways away from breaking ground. They said construction was starting on Avengers expansion this next year and Coco in 2026. No estimated construction date was given for Pandora II.
