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

[amityboattours]

In the current times that we live in where everything on the Internet has to either be THE BEST THING EVER! or THE WORST THING EVER!, surely certain people can see that this place is at least somewhere in between those two variables?
Everyone's allowed an opinion, but it's such a weird thing to see people take such glee in just constantly slamming down on something so repeatedly, especially something they've not even experienced themselves yet. It sure makes boring reading and it actually just makes me feel quite sad for such people, how joyless an existence like that must be.

 

[epcyclopedia]

Who's slamming it...? So far we've talked good and bad.

And to your point - I've already seen someone on twitter post they were crying tears of joy because there will be facepaint and it's something they've always dreamed of.

Gurrrl... get better dreams.

Sorry, not aimed here, I'm reading twitter comments this morning reacting to all these reveals.
It's just SO COOL AND EDGY BRO to hate on this project.

Interesting tidbit..

Spoiler

Dis how we load..




So... how does it restrain you..? Or does it not? Can i get up and walk away if i don't like my banshee mid-flight?

OH!

That thing that looks like a weird kickplate in the back swings up and pushes on your lowerback/booty to keep you in place.

Fascinating.. and ultra awkward for the ride ops.

See.. you sit like thus...



And then the booty containment system (patent pending) swings up in place to make sure you aint got too much buns hun.

^ It's essentially like a Zamperal Disko, the backrest flips up and presses against your lower back.

Yay! they're finally eating!

 

[epcyclopedia]

This is all, i crap you not, all in the same relatively small building..

The horsey ride I just rode at Legoland has the same restraint. Couldn't not think of Pandora when riding it.

I have..a theory.

It really does look like that the walls in-front of the Link Chairs, are full on walls. And not screens.

I am believing, for the time being; that the Walls in-front of the Link chairs, will basically do the same thing in a sense to how the Kuka Arm in Gringotts handled for the finale, pulling out the wall, as the Link chairs physically move to Banshee's, like what was seen a few months ago..

This, is what I am now believing to be the case; as this to me, seems very much that it would most likely happen; and that I am not going to be surprised, if I am wrong.

It's breakfast! The scrambled egg steamed pod sounds yummy.

Yes, but hopefully timed with a blinding light flash so feels like you transported mentally into your avatar.

An' that -is- a Zamperla Disko! FoP is pretty much the same, just with visable sections/bladders on the side (Where your knees go) to simulate the breathing. (I also see some possible leg restraints under the seat which probably swing out towards the back of your legs.)

So much for the stupid no signs rumor:

Can haz want the french toast and dragonfruit.

Eh.. the sign that is the "marquee" for the attraction is literally that little green text block. That's going to be rough on guests.

The more I see of it, the more I believe; it will be Vekoma's work that goes on, and not Dynamics.

They are using the same restraints somewhat used on their Vekoma Motobike models, and that Disney has worked extensively with them in the past, with their most recent notably being Tron Lightcycle Power Run in Shanghai, which does have a similar restraint system into play.

To add onto that, Vekoma has a form of a simulator attraction, similar to Soarin in the sense of the technology in use for it, and that I am betting that they are going to partner with Vekoma for other projects in the future when it comes to Disney's.

So much for the stupid no signs rumor:

This I don't find surprising. The only thing I am curious, is why the sign for the name is rather small.

I don't know why it's like that, and I don't like it.

Yep, seems to be pretty much confirming this.

Looks like the seats definitely move forward, they don't actually connect to the floor in load station. Maybe as the false wall flops down we move forward, as expected.

That didn't take long. It's Skull Island all over again.
