All I can compare are ride building footprints and see that the boatride footprint is about 1/3 the size of Shanghai's PotC (approx 10-minute ride), so the math would put it at less than 4. There are other factors more important than footprint (set scale, queue, ride-speed), but I am expecting around or a little under 4mins from launch to stop, so as to be happily surprised if longer.
EDIT: Just saw Martin's post a page or two back saying cycle time is 3:56.

Sad all we get is 2 rides from all of this work. Maybe we'll have a nice dvc kiosk or bathroom stall tho

So, can anyone in the know comment on how accurate this map is? Seems relatively consistent with what we have learned and the model from D23. Certainly, we are all going to pick it up and comment so it might be nice to know that it actually is reflective of the planned final product.

Yeah, the area labelled "stage" is interesting. The "development" photos by Disney showed a panel that said "Drum" or something like that and so I think we collectively have been assuming there would be some sort of musical show performed by Na'vi performers -- if so, that would likely be the location.
As an aside, I'm a little surprised there is no dedicated M&G area listed. Seems like it would be a no brainer for Disney, though perhaps they might have a more "walk around" concept for a Na'vi -- could work in a similar fashion as Divine. Or maybe there is a set M&G space, just not noted by the map creator.

I can't help but think Na'vi performers would look a bit cheesy especially compared to what we'll see in NRJ. I do have one question about that though, does anyone know if the AA will be true to size? Is it 9-10 feet tall?

That is very close, if not identical to what I have seen. I seem to recall a few more winding trails, but that is generally accurate.
Yes, it is, although I have only seen the torso up, so I am not shre if she will be sitting or standing (I think sitting)

Standing or sitting it still looks very impressive.

Good lord some people are just miserable.
Forum rules say if you're not saying something to add to the conversation then don't say it.
Wouldn't want to be banned would you?
I'll also say very very accurate.

Notice in Enfilm's blueprints that NRJ and FoP each feature two separate long, winding queue paths. This would seem to indicate that both Fastpass and standby will have a similar amount of things to see in the queue (unlike, say, EE, where the FP queue misses a lot).

@marni1971, just out of curiosity for some perspective/expectations, can you name a few rides that are in the ~4min ball park? Obviously I'd prefer a 10min ride, but at least it won't be like Mine Train (right?).
Thanks!
Gran Fiesta Tour is a little over 7 minutes for example. Living with the Land 15-16.

Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland and Dinosaur at DAK are in the "slightly under four minutes" category, for example. The major difference, however, is that those are fast-paced thrill rides, so you go through more track / past more scenes in that time compared with a slow boat ride with the same ride time. That's the real concern, I think.
