Idk. Looks nice but i will just wait until people start playing with the stuff and 6 months from now half the lights will no longer work.
The rides look better then the night time lights.

I kinda have doubts all the effects will work in a year or two, but if they keep the sounds going it'll be great to walk through either way. It sounds great.

Hopefully the prospect of selling as many interactive Na'vi tentacles as possible will be enough incentive for them to keep this stuff working.

Yes. It does look really great though.

The bigger question is how long will the animotronics work? I am going to bet 6 months one of them will be in d mode lol

Well, looks like Disney very successfully controlled the message today with their handpicked bloggers
welcome to the boards!

I would be surprised if they didn't build at least two of each animatronic for this. I'd argue these animatronics are a bit more important than our disco yeti buddy.

Agreed. Im sure they have some backs up because in this case, they are the show. Yeti is part of the show but disco lights take care of him lol

So many details that you have to ride more than once to see them all.
You mean like with the folks from The Dis who routinely post typical videos like "The 5 Worst Disney Rides"?

Funny you say that.
Craig from the DIS is very critical of Disney and is a big Universal lover. He said Pandora is something Universal will need to respond to.

All the usual caveats - very pretty, Shaman slick, FoP queue awesome...
I'm really surprised by two things. The first is minor: it seems like RJ only has an exterior, holding pen line. That's a bit weird.
The second thing is major. The shop and restaurant are very empty and generic. WindTraders in particular looks very much like all the shops on Discovery Island. It's odd to think that this land was opened after Diagon and Cars Land - it seems to hail from a different era. This is all especially odd, of course, because Disney's entire approach to WDW right now is governed by MM+, and that program is based on having interesting shops and restaurants for guests to drop money in while not waiting in line.
Hey, if Disney doesn't want to try and force people into stores I'm fine with the decision, but then they should really drop MM+ - that's it's primary justification.

I haven't seen where the ground lights up because you're stepping on it. I don't know if that's been added yet or not; or if they're not going to make it happen at all.

I've only been watching little snippets of videos but it seems that instead of background music, they just have animal sounds is that correct? If so, that seems like a good touch to make it less like a theme park and more like a true natural environment.
Yes, the plan is do have a wide variety of natural sounds, even using directional speakers to make it seem some animal in the undergrowth is moving about. And then to change the sounds over the course of the day into night.
