Potential updates to Avatar Flight of Passage

[_caleb]

Despite the 'off the shelf' rides, Paradise/Pixar Pier is the best nighttime atmosphere in any domestic Disney park, and its not close.

I'd give that award to Disneyland's Pirates, Epcot's Mexico (both nighttime during the day), and MK's Adventureland or DCA's Carsland at night.

But I guess we all have different preferences.

I was going to say MK's Adventureland Frontierland areas and back in the day Mainstreet and Boardwalk pre LED changes and unkept show.
So there must be something to it.

Why are you trying to talk about a jewelry store in a thread about Hagrid's and DCA? Yikes.

Seeing Avatar is a pretty much going to be a resounding financial success story (even though some say it flopped) - does this FoP update idea have legs? Think AK is going to do anything with Way of Water, besides merch?

Keep Pandora open until at least 9 pm?

Watching Avatar 2, I was astonished that the ride, over 5 years old, features not one but two creatures heavily featured in the second movie that were not in the first one.

And a cupcake

With the success of part 2, I could see another pandora area added to maybe Paris or tokyo

Probably Shanghai more likely than anywhere else I'd guess.

But I'd prefer to see a new ride added to DAK - a submarine ride to see underwater creatures a la Tokyo's 20K would be cool.

Or they could just rework mermaid to actually be that......

So AVATAR: The Experience in Singapore has this AA Ikran (video clip of the AA in action in my video below), and with better lighting it could make a very nice addition to Animal Kingdom.

However it gets more interesting. As the company that made the exhibition along with Disney/Lightstorm, is called Victory Hill Exhibitions. And they are the same company that did the Avengers Station in Vegas, that was also partially featured at Innoventions at Disneyland from 2013-16 with Iron Man's Hall of Armor. So there has been cross collaboration in the past.

I theorised in my video that it could be brought to Pandora as part of maybe a Launch Bay-esk promotional exhibit for the future 3 AVATAR in 2024/26/28 to build hype.

Anyways just an interesting thought.

Sorry for the cheap plug

Video is timestamped to start at the AA segment.

Just got back from seeing Avatar 2. I gotta admit it was really good. Better than I expected. Definitely potential for land/attraction expansion there

 

[The Rocketeer]

I would love to see a new ride in Pandora or even a walkthrough.

 

[Coaster Lover]

Out of curiosity, is there legitimately an area that has been eyed for expansion of Pandora at DAK? Looking at Google Earth, I can't find any areas significant enough in size for a new ride/attraction without significant alterations to back of the house operations.

The parking lot directly south of the land is considered an expansion plot.

There’s also space north of Satu’li. I believe that was an option for the walkthrough.

We were not at all impressed by RSR, honestly. We had more fun on Incredicoaster…and wanted to hate Mission Breakout but simply

I'll say this, when I first saw the cheap overlay of the inside of the ToT building, I was immediately bummed. But then I rode it, and it's 100% more fun than ToT, even with the screenzzz.

I'm glad that ToT is still the same at dhs so that our yearly trip we can experience the different version (we're in San Diego so we're up at DL every few months).

 

[J4546]

Gardian retheme of ToT is pretty great given they had to use that entire ride system. I'm not big on the exterior but the interior and preshow are good, the racoon animatronic is cool, and overall I'm happy with the retheme

I wish they'd go bigger with the Kirby krackle effect around it
