AVATAR land construction progress

[Mike S]

I support any well themed land, but I strongly dislike the trend of those lands being exclusively dedicated to an intellectual property. I prefer a healthy blend of original concepts with intellectual property.

Basically this is what we would like Disney to do,

When it comes to IP we can build a general idea of what it could be like.

I get a chuckle out of the occasional perverted joke as much as the next next guy, but seriously give it a rest! Your constant Beavis and Butthead commentary has grown tiresome.

I am so glad you spoke up. I will reach out to you for pre approvals going forward.

Joe Rhode was just spotted at DAK - I assume to check up on Avatar plus hopefully new projects down the road.

He's there regularly.

Probably just shopping for a new earring.

I appreciate that, but it's unnecessary. Just act like you're older than 14 every now and then.

Being an adult is vastly overrated.

Ok, that's funny.

I really don't want to bag on Joe- I rather like the guy. I hope he is truly overseeing what's going on with DAK. That's "his" park. I wish the other parks had the same kind of loving overseer who sticks around and doesn't have a 3-5 year shelf life.

I do wonder what he thinks when he walks around DAK. If he's anything like I think he is (obsessively creative, detail freak borderline OCD) he probably walks around and nitpicks all the things he'd like to change (but probably doesn't have the budget/approval to change) and shake his head and sigh at things he doesn't like.

That dude is fascinating.

I just saw a video of Pirates of the Caribbean in Shanghai...

Dear God, if Navi River Journey is anything like that... (of course shorter) I am floored.

i think the level of immersion and effects will be on par obviously it wont be as long

We have to assume it's going to be a HUGE letdown, so when it's not, ITLL BE TWICE AS GOOD

I thought it was impressive but I don't know, Im really kinda tired of the screens everywhere. I prefer the AAs and scenes myself. Again, personal preference.

They are not likely to be the same. The rides may share some technology but it's unlikely there was an attempt to close the ride layouts.

Well yea, I didn't expect the layouts to be the same. I was more looking for track length, screen positions and other attributes to compare.

I'm sure there was what looked like screens in the blueprint that showed the layout.

huh?

you mean the NRJ layout? Yea it looks like screens, but I want to compare what we've seen for AK to what arrived in SDL.

We'll have to wait to actually ride it then.

 

[CastleBound]

We'll have to wait to actually ride it then.

Well yea of course, that's the ultimate comparison. There has to be a blueprint for Shanghai to compare to though right?

I was unaware that posting info relative to the construction of Avatar Land was still being permitted in the Avatar land construction progress thread.

Very interested to see how the tiny floating mtns on the building will look from inside the land...Will they be painted "Fade away Blue" or be vine themed?
