If Volcano Bay, a complete park opens before AvatarLAND. Disney has some serious contractor issues haha

Disney takes about 3 years to do a land now, for whatever reason

I'm not disagreeing that the time this is taking is incredibly long, but the two couldn't be more different. Avatar is an extremely complex theme park environment. Volcano Bay isn't complicated much at all outside of building Krakatau.

Of course if I am going to keep this statement neutral, I should probably mention that I don't think there's any way that Disney would ever put up a similarly sized structure as Krakatau nearly as quickly as Universal. They simply don't care to move fast.

looking forward to the infodump this weekend. Anyone want guess just how much we will see?
I'm hoping for ride vehicles for Flight, and maybe an inside look at creating all the AA's going into the park.

From DestinationD, it was confirmed that Pandora will open in the Summer, with new information about the land leaking right now.

EDIT:

Some additional details

-The Navi River Cruise will be on the same scale as Pirates from Shanghai
-A Canteen Quick Service and a new shop has been announced

The building size alone dictates it can't be on the same scale. What a load of tosh.

Just realized how there won't be any real animals inside Pandora. Also, I don't like the style of the concept art.

The concept art seems unnecessarily blurry(though I'm sure this is intentional.)

Better quality and video from Orlando Sentinel

Disney: 'Avatar' land to open next summer at Animal Kingdom - Orlando Sentinel

The first two pieces of art don't seem too blurry (albeit there's nothing too specific showcased either). The third pic looks blurry more so because the photo seems enlarged.

What is the point of this concept art? lol What are we even looking at?

This is Iron Man 2. DAK/Sam Rockwell trying so hard to be WWoHP/Tony Stark, but just missing entirely.

2017--Disney's Summer of Schadenfreude!

Make it seem more exotic by applying a photoshop filter to it.
