AVATAR land - the specifics

[RSoxNo1]

Spirit also dropped this vague comment in his thread:



Might be related or might not.

We established that Storm Troopers riding pandas are coming to the Animal Kingdom.

He recently just stated that this could be a "Good Weird with a mix of Strange Weird"....I'm definitely intrigued now!

I'm going with Stormtroopers riding pandas.

Thanks. You might have buried the lead on this one, I wonder what " There is a weird rumour going on about the land, " is all about?

Any word on this rumor?

Not that I've seen. The only further commentary he WDW1974 offered was this:

More like potentially good weird mixed with a healthy dose of strange weird.

I'm sure that helped.

Ok - thanks. It's a pretty interesting rumor floating around with no details. Hopefully it's good. I doubt Cameron would sign off on something that's potentially bad.

It's just standard WDW1974 -- mentions that he has cool inside info, says he's not able to share it, then goes on to rant about something else and ignore he ever made the statement. I certainly understand not being able to reveal inside info, but why bother making a cryptic comment if you can't elaborate? Why not just be silent about it until you are able to provide more info?

Exactly, it's like saying " I know the funniest story ever " then not tell it. Time will tell what's going on. I' m still excited about the Avatar project. We will probably find out more information at the D23. PhotoMaps keeps showing images from December 14, 2014 so I can't find any areial pictures.

When the Spirit speaks good of anything of WDW it is so weird that I listen!

It doesn't really bother me. Sometimes tiny vague pieces of information can come from various sources and can be put together to better understand what is going on. Someone recently private messaged me with a very vague question which didn't mean anything to me at the time. Then someone post something here that made it make more sense.

To each there own. Personally, I think it is kind of rude to say "I know something cool, but I can't tell you". Again, I'm not saying any insider has an obligation to tell us anything or to betray any sources, but I don't see the point in making the mention unless you can provide more information in the relatively near future.

I think it is more to point others with contacts in a direction of inquiry. I know I fire off a few emails after reading some of his posts.

Looks to be roughly 5 acres. Hard to be 100% sure since we don't yet know how much of the cleared land will be used for the land. There is a total of 9.5 acres of cleared land back there.

For those of us who are bad at imagining how big 5 acres is, what would that compare to?

Roughly the size of 4 football fields excluding the end zones.

 

[Eärendil]

So not really all that big. About the size of The Land and part of the Imagination Pavillion?

The Fantasyland expansion minus Storybook Circus is about 6.3 acres if that helps.

Actually the Land Pavillion not including Soarin is about 5 Acres.

Note: That's American football fields. Remember, in Canada, our football fields and balls are bigger.
