I love the way they tie in the story for BTMRR & Phantom Manor at DLP with each other and with Thunder Mesa. Those Ravenswoods, I tell ya...

Actually that's the english spelling, it is more closely to Avia. More of an eastern European dialect.Eywa. Good try, though.
And before I get all the hate replies: just kidding around

How about Its a Small World in Pandora? (without the mindworm music)

Yes, I agree. The ride was great, but even at night the Avatar land, Pandora, was a bore, however, A nice place to sit and relax.
Different scenes with children from different countries singing the same song in their native languages to come together at the end singing the song in unison does not really compare to riding a boat at night down a lagoon to meet a singing Shaman.

I don't have anything against the ride....I thought it was nice, but not anything I'd be super-sad to miss on future trips. But I just have to ask...am I the only one who felt like I was riding ET?

ET is vastly superior!

I rode ET in May, and it is not vastly superior to anything. The beginning is enjoyable, giving you the feel of the movie.
The second half is a force narrative, that really isn't that entertaining.

That was pretty much my take on it, but I figured it was because, like the OP, I didn't see the movie. It was OK, pretty, but for me, it was a one and done ride.

Nope. I prefer not to talk to the wall.

You don’t really need to be familiar/or have watched Avatar in order to enjoy Pandora, FOP or Na’vi River IMO, but a little back story doesn’t hurt. Pandora is a fictional exoplanetary moon created by James Camera. The back story is humans go there to mine unobtanium.
Well, I was in the middle of explaining it all to you, but as I jumped back and forth, looking for the definition of http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2015/08/unobtanium-real-substance/
Unobtanium (which curiously sounds like something unobtainable), I lost what I had begun typing??! Anyway James Cameron came up with his fictional universe in which humans travel to Pandora to mine the stuff. The Na’vi are the native creatures of Pandora. So just enjoy the ride. You don’t have to watch the movie Avatar, but a little back story helps. The Na’vi animatronics in the ride are awesome and the music is pretty moving!

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! I tried to watch Avatar 3 times. Forget counting sheep!
It's Dances With Wolves (waaaaaay better and more believable) in Outer Space.
I think they had a couple of leftover boats from the Land they weren't using and they found an anamatronic under those boats.
So they put 'em all to use. The area is all immersive but this ride, for me, is a good place to nap (see previous thread on napping)
Gone!
Cool, but why did you quote my post three times?...

Exactly....where ARE we going? There’s no story. Could’ve been great.

Animatronic. Yes, it's amazing, but the ride needed more than one. As it stands, it isn't even like the ride builds to anything. It's just a couple of minutes of pretty scenery, followed by a "Holy crap! That thing is huge and looks so real!" followed by... nothing.
