Pandora: The World of Avatar Announcement, Construction, & Preview Discussion

[Nick]

So Pandora will be on GMA, The View and Nightline tomorrow according to Disney.

And while that queue does look a lot like Transformers, both Avatar and Transformers are war movies, they are much more similar than it seems on the surface. It is a strange move on Disney's part to make a queue element so similar to one at a rival park though.

James Cameron though. He don't care what others have. He's telling his story. (And obviously he doesn't care if it's like something else already.)

Change 5 times I believe and this footage of the queue is very old...or at least the concept of it....

James Cameron.

This thread is the sole reason why the James Cameron song is still stuck in my head.

New picture?

Best way to describe the aesthetic of Pandora..

Animal Kingdom oasis.. then some fake plants and animals in neon colors. Like you'll have a cluster of plants and several are real, then there's some broad leafy ones in a hue that's not quite normal, a more intense red or orange.. and then there are accent items like fungi in a deep blue. Rock work with "bats" on it but they're blue and yellow.

Looking at the start of the video, is this going to be similar to Diagon where you're outside, pass through a hall or cave or whatever and then the whole land opens out in front of you?

 

[Frogki]

It does appear that they have taken that note from Diagon Alley's book. That aspect is definitely one of the best ways to stun people, shock them with a grand entrance into the massive world.

This looks amazing!!! From the food to the attractions. The GMA preview has me hyped. This makes Animal Kimgdom the best themepark in America, imo.

Yea, it's Universal United...After years of talking negatively about it, I guess they don't even know what to say when proven wrong.

Looks amazing. It'll feel like you are really emerged into the environment. The speciality food lions pretty good actually. But those 3D glasses. What the hell?

I actually found the 3D glasses to be unique and different. They actually look like lawncare glasses meant to stop debris from getting in your eyes.

agreed they look weird

I guess I don't get it

I'm sure it will be amazing in person, but I can't help but notice all the real "exotic" plants are the same ones found in every other theme park here in Orlando.

It looks really good.

At 11am today there's going to be an extensive behind the scenes with James Cameron on the View.

I love how there seems to be a lot of space where one can get lost. Getting the kind of vibe Camp Jurassic gives off.

I don't think anyone ever doubted the land would look amazing. The doubt was the popularity of the IP. It looks fantastic and I can't wait to visit.
