I was going by the first movie. So I guess at Pandora it would be Audrey III.*Audrey II
Unless the same staff are loading all sections on a level, it shouldn't take more than 5 mins.
That moss does not come off. We all tried picking at it on the bridge while waiting to enter for the preview. You can't help but try. It's sprayed concrete. And it's on there good.How long until the landscaping is trampled, the moss is picked off, gum covers the rock work, and trash fills the plant beds? :frown:
Interesting review of Pandora on Touring Plans blog today by their staff writer Julie Mascardo. Kind of opposite, on rides, then what you's expect. First of all, like most everyone, she thought the land was beautiful. Then she had this to say on the two rides. * River Journey: "It was so mellow & relaxing, plus visually stunning, I could easily ride that ride over and over again. It was a huge family favorite.".....*Flight of Passage; "Out of the three of us, our daughter has said she has no desire to ever ride again, and my husband may not ride again (and if he does he'll need motion sickness medicine and/or a barf bag which aren't provided...yet) and I may ride it once again someday, but no huge rush to do so.".......Ironically, this may be the typical Disney family. I would guess the typical Universal family would prefer Flight of Passage. It will be interesting to see how this plays out once the general Disney public gets to experience the land.

...Great satire...But, ironically, it's probably spot on to the truth. ...I'm more excited to see the general public reaction then the blogger reviews we've been reading. GP is the true bottom line. Sometimes Bloggers live in an alternative facts universe, and their opinions are often far from real people's opinions. They sometimes tend to over think attractionsTypical Disney Family: It's like Soarin', but just too rough to ride every time
Typical Universal Fan: OMG this is the greatest ride ever... Finally good screenz at the Disney World!
Typical Avatar Super Fan: I can't stop crying... No - no words. No words to describe it. Poetry! They should have sent a poet. So beautiful. So beautiful... I had no idea.
Typical Disney Blogger: I was paid to say I love it. So I love it.
I've tried to be honest with my reviews (but Disney doesn't give me free stuff yet.) I love the ride tech, but wish they had stories. Love the theming and (most of) the foods, but wish there was no other people there so I can have the land to myself. Of course I love Animal Kingdom and this feels so AK to me so I am biased in that way. It's not your usual theme park. It's an adventure park. Or as I use it, it's a quiet place with lots of trees and waterfalls that I can go look at animals and be alone with my thoughts.Sometimes Bloggers live in an alternative facts universe.
Like you I would think it fits well into AK. I've been saying that since day one years ago. And I'm glad it does. And like Splash Mountain for me, it appears that this is your own "HAPPY SPACE". :thumbsup:...My thoughts though, and I may be wrong, is that the two rides will always draw decent lines, but a year or so after the curiosity wains, people will rush to the rides as they are in habit to do, but will not linger and take in the ambiance in the beautiful outside portions of the land itself, as is their habit in the other beautiful sections of AK such as the Lions King dock area, Asian area leading up to Everest, and just about any area that doesn't have the ride building. People are often so blind to that which is most important. :frown:.....now Star wars Land will be a different animal. It will attract and retain people like Diagon does.I've tried to be honest with my reviews (but Disney doesn't give me free stuff yet.) I love the ride tech, but wish they had stories.

Unfortunately this might bring more people into my otherwise quiet getaway.
Do you buy it now?
The little glowing spots in the beginning during the link were probably the most "3D" of the whole thing.For those that have been on FoP, did you find that 3D was really necessary? Personally I didn't really feel like the 3D added much to the ride.
True, the glasses help to focus your vision. I don't have a problem with 3D glasses, but those ones in particular didn't sit on my nose very comfortably.The little glowing spots in the beginning during the link were probably the most "3D" of the whole thing.
I think the 3D helped disguise the curve of the screen at least though. In watching the POV videos you can see the curve more in 2D, like Soarin looks now. That may have been how the curvature issue was solved in my opinion.
I think Disney may need to redesign them a bit. I get that they're great for creating a wider field of vision, (kind of like the opposite of the Universal Spiderman/Gringots ones that purposely hide your peripheral.) But I saw many people actually having to hold them on with their hands because they're too loose fitting over your ears. I had no problem with them, but I wear prescription glasses underneath and am used to having something on my face all the time I guess.True, the glasses help to focus your vision.

I definitely felt myself needing to push them up when the RV would move forward in the drop sequences and the wind was blowing at you.I think Disney may need to redesign them a bit.

No, I did mean Happy Place , but I see where you're coming from with the Laughing Place reference in the attraction. When I ride Splash Mountain I have a smile on my face from beginning to end. I don't consider it the 'Best" theme park attraction (top ten though), but it is my 'Favorite" theme park ride.Don't you mean, "Laughing Place"?
