AVATAR land construction progress

[matt9112]

I read a while ago that Universal doesnt want the project to be successful due to it ruining sight lines in potter and volcano bay, i think we can all agree that the true reason is they dont want more competition though. Anyhow building the skyplex in the middle of 4 themepark superpowers (Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, BushGardens) doesnt make matters any better for the skyplex.

I think there is enough cash to go around people won't vacation for slyplex but squeeze it into an exsisting one sure.

I think the sight lines would be a legitimate issue for Uni. Pretty sure that seeing a tower with a roller coaster hovering behind the floating mountains of Pandora would be a pretty major buzzkill. The true escape from Orlando and the real world in general is still one of the greatest assets of WDW IMO. That is why I always stay onsite and in the bubble throughout my trip and yes I know they charge me plenty for it!

They just showed some photos from inside the land on the Disney parks special on Tv. I couldn't be more excited for this.

I hope everyone was watch the Disney Christmas Parade. It had a killer segment on Pandora inside the land. I'm sure someone will post it soon. Shows a lot of details inside the land and rides. Very awesome.

The pandora segment looked really remarkable. Those glowing plants look so so cool, and they even had a split few seconds from inside both attractions!!!

Beat me to the punch. Very excited. It will blow away any themed land around

Joe Rogue said all of the plants in the land are connected and synced together.

I posted one above. I wish that giant spot light didn't create such a glare for the camera.

The first look to have gotten inside the Flight of Passage ride, thank @Rteetz .

The thing marked in red is interesting, almost looks like something that will be infront of the seats before the ride starts. The things marked with the blue arrow might be the actual ride vehicles, but it's hard to say.

The ride does appear to be a variation of the Vekoma Panoramic Flight Simulator as we have long suspected.

Looks like bikes! Stoked!!!!

The red thing is reffered to as "the shield" by many working on it. It willl be down during boarding and up when the ride is in progress.
