I wonder how many people can go on that ride and the boat ride per hour?

There will be four theaters with the Banshee ride. Each theater itself won't have that great of capacity (i.e. look at Soarin' and its capacity) but four total theaters will help out a lot.
I know people have made estimations before here. IIRC, the general thought was 700-800 ppl/hr each theater which would be 2800-3200 ppl/hr for the whole ride, which would be pretty large.
The open web steel trusses are most likely the roof. While they can be used for a floor, I don't seem them used much for it outside of the rare all steel residential applications.

OK. I didn't know if they're going up the whole way around the building to that height. Interesting to watch the progress.

I believe the person who did the rock work on CarsLand and Tokyo DisneySea's Mysterious Island will be working on the Avatar project. It does look huge and people will be eating their words once it comes out.
thanks for the great pictures - I hope people keep posting pictures each or two to see the progress

What are they doing about the Oxygen problem?

I'm hoping that they've learned their lesson from all the people who die gasping for
air on Space Mountain, drown horribly in Little Mermaid, freeze solid on the peak
of the Forbidden Mountain, and never return from the Tower of Terror.
This wholesale slaughter of guests must end.

I don't even have the energy anymore to respond to the post that you responded to so adroitly. Thank you for your fitting response, equal parts of both brevity and sarcasm.

Besides those things, I meant the poisonous Pandora air to human beings.

We are all going to be required to purchase special drinks that have been "treated with a special chemical formula that counteracts the poisons in the air". It's part of their new strategy. Instead of allowing people the option of buying things, like food, drinks, merch, they are going to start to require the guests to the new Pandora section to purchase them.
They'll make a big deal out of it for the sake of the Show of course. Lines of people outside waiting to purchase their mandatory spiked Sprite and Coke products. They'll be able to enforce it via MagicBand, tracking who has and has not purchased their required drink in the souvenir gas-mask shaped mug.
To enhance the Story, they will have cast hidden in the bio-luminescent plantlife next to the entrance to Pandora equipped with canisters of targeted-delivery nerve gas. If someone tries to sneak by the Soda Checkpoint, they will be gassed.
It's the little things like this, the commitment to realism, that really sets Disney apart from the competition.

I think his point was, why is the poisonous air of Pandora different from any of the other things he mentioned?

The guitar solo immediately popped into my head after reading this.

They moved the whole planet to Florida where there is no lack of Oxygen....problem solved.
Um excuse me but its not the lack of oxygen, but the high concentration of carbon dioxide in the Pandoran atmosphere makes it extremely poisonous to humans, rendering them unconscious in about 20 seconds and causing death in about 4 minutes. The hydrogen sulfide present is also quite poisonous; concentrations over 1000 ppm (0.1 %) can cause immediate collapse with subsequent loss of breathing, even after inhalation of a single breath.
