Don’t expect much outside of the video wall.
The Instagram post mentions those still not recalled. As do a number of CMs on this forum, and others elsewhere.
I don't believe the drummer show is back nor is the utility suit walker.
The drummers are the Discovery River Drummers currently.
Sure thing! Three components - the amazing Swotu Waya Na'vi drum ceremony that echoed through the land. First of its kind interactive show. The wandering botanist/wildlife ranger guides that welcomed guests in the valley with spontaneous tours, and the super popular eco ranger mech-suit show that took place near Pongu Pongu. With a good deal of entertainment returning to AK, I really hope to see these soon!
I've never seen the guides. A tour sounds like fun.
They’ve added a few new songs, but they still sing some of their old/usual ones too.
Never knew they existed. IMO, this is EXACTLY what Pandora is missing. No way I'm spotting all the clever "plant" and wildlife put there. I might spot some (like that squirting one up front). But, others will pass me by because I don't have a clue what I'm looking at. BTW, I have the same problem at botanical gardens. So, it's not just Pandora!
Because they’ve never existed except for grand opening, press event, media type things. And maybe a few days around the opening. But never as a regular offering, so shouldn’t be included in a list of “missing” things.
There were indeed two costumed guides that were present for only the media event that we haven't seen since. But the rangers debuted a year after opening with the "new" mech suit show. They share the same white shirt and green pants costume that debuted in 2018. It's not a listed offering but it was a spontaneous happening that did happen throughout the valley. You had to be lucky enough to catch it in the trails around the land. I took this shot in March of 2019.
Yes, that is the same performer as the mech suit show. This was their “b show” if they didn’t have the stilt walker for a particular set, and just had the one performer, either planned or unplanned (tech difficulties, call in, etc). Again, not a separate offering to be called out.
I've seen the "tour guides" out and about while the mech suit show was happening. Could've been a freak occurrence but it was something neat to see two guides walking around the land, talking to guests and showing kids the "wild life" of Pandora.
Exactly! As a mega-fan who already knows a ton about what plants are which, there's still a crazy amount of narrative that is lost without a tour! A friend of mine showed me a part of the ground where Imagineering literally captured a scene of where a hexapede deer was taken down by a viperwolf. The tours really made the subtlety pack a puch!
The Nemo show felt more like a broadway musical, where Festival of the Lion King feels like a theme park show. The 5 minutes making stupid animal noises at the beginning is horrid. Then it’s just a greatest hits collection with no real story element. It’s short though and Nemo was longer. Most Guests attention span is 25 minutes and that’s it. I see the new Nemo musical following suit.
The animal sounds is to entertain the crowds while the last few people trickle in.
there are pandora/avatar mega fans!!!??
