AVATAR land - the specifics

[danlb_2000]

I'm wondering if the boat ride - or a good portion of it - is going to be indoors.
Given its proximity to the mountains in the back, I'd be willing to bet that's the case, that there will be an indoor dark portion of the ride.
It just makes sense.

A good portion of it will be inside, the question is whether it will go outside at all.

Doubt it. Are there any boat rides in FL with an outdoor component (outside of the water rides Splash and Kali; this one isn't meant as a drencher)? Thought only Cali did that, with their weather.

Edit: jungle cruise. Still doubt it here, though.

Could FL's drenching rain actually reverse the water in the trough if a portion were outside?

Small world load area is open to the outside, although it's covered.

It's not a problem for Splash.

I seriously doubt it. About the only way I could see that amount of water finding its way into the outdoor portion of the attraction would be if someone really botched the drainage plan and had the entire area draining into it.

that or they size the waste pumps too small, and a 'the deluge' (try hurricane) overfilled the ride canal

Phased land openings are a huge disappointment.

After further review of the model of Avatar World I can honestly say......... I hope the model does not do the actual world justice because it looks like a big old mess.

 

[TyrantBoss]

The real question is......will the World of Avatar be as boring as the movie Avatar?

 

[danlb_2000]

is the dock mock-up in the pandora model going to be accessed by boats?
and if so will the proposed boat ride go by that area.. or is the boat ride an indoor ride..
really not up on all the details lately

It's not a dock, it's half the bridge that was the old entrance to CMM.

I have no idea how some people are looking at the model and seeing a mess? Maybe because it has so many details and isn't cookie cutter.. Well everyone has their opinions, I want someone to take a picture head on and zoom in on the front of the mountains because most of the pictures are from the side and you can't see the whole arch.

Also the movie Avatar gave me a one of kind immersive experience into the world of pandora so weather the plot is orginal or not I think pandora is a perfect place to be adapted into a land.

The one question this model should answer, although I can't tell from this angle, is if the boat ride will have an outdoor portion.

The ride is supposed to be a night simulation, so I'm guessing that it will either be entirely indoors (like Pirates) or just have a minimal outdoor loading area, similar to iasw.

With no information beyond pure conjecture, I'm imagining an outside start - say like Jungle Cruise or 20K, but with the majority of ride being the indoor portion of the journey.
All the better to show off cutting edge effects day or night.
Think the enclosed portion of the 7 Dwarves Mine Train, expanded and Avatarized.

I picture the whole ride including the queue being indoors. The queue will have walkways that glow with bioluminescence. Everything indoors allows for better control of the environment and show.

I wish the original idea of having a ride that makes you feel like your entering Pandora after a four year space journey was the way you entered the land.

 

[Brian Swan]

Nothing like the petradon ride. It will basically be a vehicle in front of a screen like Soarin, but in 3D and with probably much more actual motion.

For some reason I thought I remember seeing some concept art that indicated a "straddle" seat that you ride on, kind of like a motorcycle. But maybe it was just a dream that I had...

 

[MagicGoofy]

Some of the creatures you will run into at pandora.. Hype Level heavly increasing...

Also I think we will run into a few or all of these during the boat ride in anamatronic form.

This is an idea that has been discussed, but no concept art has ever been released showing that for Avatar.

I wonder if they would make the animals true to size, as in absolutely huge compared to us humans.
