Avatar coming to DCA

[Jamesh22]

RSR is pretty much the flagship E ticket for DCA. They need another family E ticket to better balance out crowd flow at the park. I think the Avengers E ticket will be a good step in the right direction in that regard.

I think we can all agree on that. Was just curious why you thought they badly needed a 'trackless' dark ride. No offence intended just curious.

Trackless rides like MMRR have no height requirements so people of all ages can go on and enjoy it. A large scale E ticket with no height requirement is something DCA could also benefit from.

Shanghai Pirates has no height requirement. Of course that's in China, I don't know if there's different safety rules in California that would force a height requirement here. But an Avatar ride based on that tech just seems like an easy win. A proven, thrilling boat ride for all ages based on one of the highest grossing Hollywood movies. I don’t see any reason why they shouldn't build that

Also I think we get two attractions in this land...would be kinda crazy not to with how big the other land is

So for sure one will be a "family ride" and one more a thrill ride

Does anybody know if there any ride patents related to this potential Avatar attraction?

No, because I'm pretty sure it's just a standard large boat ride with forwards and backwards portions like Anna and Elsas Frozen Journey at Tokyo Disney Sea.

Oh I thought it was a different system.

How could you possibly be sure about that at this stage?

There's a boat ride in the concept art and Disney Imagineerings latest e-ticket boat ride just opened in Tokyo.

If they don’t use Shanghai Pirates ride system for this, I would be surprised.

Surely the only way that Shanghai Pirates doesn’t get used is if rain would somehow mess with it by altering the chlorine/pH of the water or something. No idea if that would actually be a problem though.

Probably would not. I mean most outdoor pools don't seem to have issues after it rains. Plus this is just concept art. The boat ride for all we know could be all indoors.

Surely that's 'confirmation' of a boat ride and not confirmation of what type it will be?

It’s the Shanghai ride system. This is an incredibly ambitious attraction. The scale is massive.

Is this the only ride? I see Satu'li Canteen over there, but i'm more expecting a second experience here to be a walkthrough or something.

 

[GAcoaster]

Does it say where this is going? Is it the expansion area across the street?

They did not mention a location for most things all night, this included.

My guess is a second ride but they may not yet have settled on what it will be. I think some kind of walk through or meet a Banshee (Like Raptor encounter) too.

I don't think they specified how quickly they would get dirt moving on this, but I have to think preferably they would want this to open by late 2029 at the latest to cross-promote with Avatar 4.
