Shaman of Songs Removed from Na’vi River Journey

[marni1971]

Doesn't this ride have its own thread so why are people still commented on this one ?

It needs all the help it can get?

I love those maggots/ caterpillars or whatever that crawl on the tree trunks, and the lizard feet on the leaves. If they’d made the ride twice as long and put in 5 animatronics and a few more effects, it’d be a classic ride.

Ive said it before and Ill say it again...It could be a good C/D ticket experience, except for one major thing...The complete lack of ending. It has all this build up of going to a Navi celebration, there are screens showing them walking, the forest is lively, the music builds as you progress, you see the AA Shaman singing and...you enter a virtually barren room before the exit.

If they would have had that room filled with a few AA and parallax screens with Navi singing, it would have been fine. As it stands now, its all build up and no payoff. Like when a song ends on a non-tonic note. It just feels wrong.

We always felt the ride as it is sets you up for a nice journey. Instead of the real part of the ride actually beginning as you turn the bend, you see unload.

It’s like riding pirates and instead of the down ramp into Bombardment Bay you see the exit.

So, we now know that even with her reduced hours she's still working in the morning on Tuesdays.

I'm just hearing a lot of Wahhhhing about this..

Eh Eh Waaahhh
Eh Eh Wahhhhh
Eh Eh Waaaahhhhhhhh...

That is right. What is wrong with you people, expecting something that is worth waiting in line for 85 minutes, for.
You are in Disney World and are on average spending thousands of dollars to be there. You expected things to
work too?

It was a Robotic Workers of Pandora union-mandated coffee break.

Here's the problem, they just need to be upgraded to T800s.

Now that would be a movie. All of the AAs in the parks come to life and take over.
Can't you just see a little army of AAs moving through the Magic Kingdom singing,
It's a Small World?

Exactly, it's a good introduction to a better ride. I like it better than pretty much anything in Fantasyland, but it's a short C-ticket that's setup like a much better D/E-ticket.

I actually like Navi...but the problem with the park is lack of atttactions driving uncomfortable waits...especially on such a short ride.

@marni1971 do you still have the plans for the complete ride concept? How much longer was it? I know it is late there so respond when you can and if you care to. Thanks. My memory was another 1.5 minutes but not sure any longer.

That would be interesting.

Na'vi as is doesn't need to be longer. The rider would just get more bored. The ride needs purpose instead, and then it can't last long enough - nobody ever got bored on those 15 minute EPCOT rides. A pay-off too can lend purpose.

But not obligatory rapids, that mistakes thrill for excitement and turns Na'vi into a Universal ride, a Jurassic Park. I wonder if so much energy was expended protecting this ride from narrative story, thrill, cuts that too little energy remained to find that one single purpose giving direction.

Yes I think that was it.

Yes I think that was it.

WHAT HAS DISNEY DONE?!?
