AVATAR land - the specifics

Wow.

Has that concept art been released previously? It looks fantastic. Really cool work on the ground as well. They wouldn't be crazy enough to put it over the entire land, right? This would likely be in a few isolated areas, or the queue to the boat ride or something?

Yeah, that's what I posted in the other thread. It would be really cool to see it over the entire land but I'm not entirely sure how feasible that is.

On another note, in the past there was a lot of back and forth as to what attractions we were actually getting. Was that ever resolved? I really have my heart set on that boat ride.

Who all is playing Zapruder film with this like I am?
Looking at the stuff in the background, I see boards with different things on them, like the one most clearly visible:

Then there is Drum C____ND Puppets (Command?)

And one that they though enough to blur out because it looks like plans of some sort

I'm fairly certain the boat ride is going in, as it looks like the concrete for it has been poured already.

If this new model shot (front view floating mountain):

represents the same feature as this older one (rear view):

Then it would seem the floating mountains have shrunk considerably, judging by the human figurines.

Good eye. It could also be that the concept art (or the model) was not done to scale. I'd side more on the side of the concept art, since artists tend to take artistic liberties on those.

Are you referring to another piece of artwork, because both the images are scale models. Late stage WDI models like this are definitely built with accurate scaling in mind.

Martin mentioned somewhere on here a budget reduction to 200-300 million. Maybe this could be an effect of that (smaller mountains).

How do you come to that conclusion? The scale looks about the same to me. It's just from a different angle.
