News VIDEO - New entertainment coming to Pandora - The World of AVATAR

[Biff215]

I spy a butterfly. A falcon or eagle design in what appears to be a propaganda-inspired pose and there's also a crocodile/gator (he's upside down). That's about all I could see between blurs. Nothing special I s'pose.

Whoever Disney uses to blur their footage... I hope they keep using them!
... still think they should make the legs "move". Would really help sell the illusion.

You mean the guy touching the fake legs and continuously talking about the same scar didn’t convince you???

Really? Which pathway?

It's in this general area via the main entrance to the land.

Here's the best photo I can find of it online (via OrlandoParkStop.com)

What a ripoff - isn't this a "Loader" that Sigourney Weaver operated in Aliens II. Just paint it safety yellow and viola!
And where is Lucky the Dinosaur?
So are we trying to draw people over?

Similar, but not identical, when you look at the user's leg positions. James Cameron came up with both the power loader and AMP suit designs, so at this point he's riffing on himself, but the powered exoskeleton concept has deep sci-fi roots in Japanese manga/anime, and the works of Robert Heinlein before that.

...Not to mention the various real-life developments like General Electric's "Hardiman" program from the 1960s...

Neat. I'll have to look for that next time.
That's exactly what I wish there was more of.

Holy Clara Cow! I forgot all about Hardiman!
They had him on display at the Carousel of Progress at the '64 World's Fair.
Some days, not many, I feel like this on crowded days at Disney

Pandora Utility Suit debut tomorrow. 9:45am and 11:45am

 

[GlacierGlacier]

He did not show up at 11:45am today.

 

[Rteetz]

He did not show up at 11:45am today.

Likely due to the weather threat.

 

[wdwmagic]

He did not show up at 11:45am today.

There is a wind speed component to this.

 

[Jambo Joe]

Looks good, but the dialogue needs some work. Just having him walk around reading kids’ shirts is tiring. He shared some facts about Pandora, but I’d like to see more of that. Also needs better amplification of his voice

 

[Jambo Joe]

Had the same thought / voice amplification would make him easier to hear and also allow him to be more conversational.

This one now looks to be one show per day, 9:45am only.

Why would Pandora need help with conservation when humans can barely survive in Pandora - the air is toxic, and that Utility suit has no O2. Are there other humans destroying Pandora? I guess we'll find out in the next movie.

Are they having difficulties with the suit or something?

Is this starting after today? He is out right now...

He was our yesterday around 3:30 when I was exiting FOP. Actually provided some backstory to everything (not that I guess it was needed but hey). Made strong points about how it's been 70 years since the events of the movie (not how he said it obviously). The new team was working to detox the air so that humans can breathe on the planet.

He talked some more but I left
