Even dinoland is incredibly well themed, just a lame theme.

Well, yes. This thread shows there are plenty of people looking forward to Avatar and some not. It is very broad to paint the entire forum in such a manner.

Not the exit shop for both, maybe neither, will have to look back over what I was told (but I think just FoP. Only one Restroom, same leftover from CMM with interior redesign. Satu'li is the only major restaurant.

Ahhhhh this looks awesome! I am so excited for this land! Disney is doing something brand new and adventurous and yet people still want to slam them?!?!?! I love that they are taking a gamble and going big. If it was just this I could understand the negativity but we are getting our Star Wars land (the insanely popular IP) plus Avatar which is so unique and exciting! This, Disney Springs, NFL, and huge changes coming to DHS! Ummmmm, yes please!

No backrest? I actually like how that sounds. From pure capacity reasons I never believed that they would look exactly like the banshees.
If this is the case, how do you secure someone in a seat like that? Is it still a simple seat belt?

I hope they at least have some quick service windows somewhere else in the land (I'm thinking somewhere near NRJ) -- the land is too large to just have one place to get any food. Is Pongu Pongu going to be located near Satu’li Canteen (i.e. are the specialized drinks supposed to compliment Satu’li or is it intended to be a separate F&B location in a different area of the land?)

Don't forget Imagineers being asked to dream big for Epcot too. And no way are they finished with DHS.

This whole thing has been a marathon not a sprint. It's been literally years of hearing all the negative Avatar talk. It seems pretty silly to assume the anti-Avatar people will just throw in the towel and get onboard when the land actually opens. I think the majority of people here are actually looking forward to this land opening and will be critical but fair in their reviews. A small portion will say it's great no matter what because it's Disney and Disney does no wrong and a small portion of posters have already written their negative reviews years ago. That group can't wait until the land opens to point out all the flaws and even if the land is great there will be some who will discount it because it took too long to build. I'm in the middle group looking forward to this opening.
As far as I know the canteen is QS.

I like the look of what we see in the art. The beverage place looks especially cool, and the restaurant looks nice as well. The gift shop... I suspect that some people will criticize the industrial-looking lights and ceiling supports. But it's neat to have a glimpse at what they might be selling.
Excited for more tomorrow.
The hour-long Avatar portion (with Joe Rodhe and James Cameron) of the event isn't until tomorrow. I believe today's details came from at a general parks segment with Chappie. Either way, the main Avatarland portion is still to come.

It's possible that if you've been focused on this, you've missed the bigger news, so I'll spread that to here.

- the Tower of Terror at DHS is safe from a GotG makeover
- Epcot will be undergoing a major transformation, but "it will stay true to our original vision."
As for my opinion. The ToT news really, really makes me happy. That was great of him to say. The Epcot words also get me excited, though I have doubts on the "original vision" part.

Absolutely, it's been pretty well established that the main dining place would be a quick serve.
My point is more that if Satu’li Canteen is the main food place for the land, will there also be a secondary place (probably more of just a window for take away) somewhere else in the land with actual food. Something kind of like Satu’li Canteen being the Pinocchio Village Haus but also having a secondary small option like Friar's Nook.*
I just feel like the land is too big to have only one place to get real food (i.e. not just a snack cart).
*yes, I realize Friar's Nook is open just seasonally, I was trying to come up with an example of the type of quick serves I'm talking about.
The actual onstage, walkable space isn't that large.
Is it like a motorcycle where we get to put our arms around the person in front of us and cuddle? Because, hey, cuddling with strangers!! WOOO!!!

Any chance they're still there next week? I sure hope so.
