you seem to be in the know..what are your thoughts on these ideas for pandora?
I actually wouldn't mind an advanced Soarin' if it's part of that bigger plan.
Not on this one, just recaping what "the guys in the know" have put on another Magical website. They also say that the "creative differences" reported is that Disney wants to shave 20% off the budget, and Cameron said "no".

Cut Budgets? Ha ha, im sure Cameron came back with a 30% increase in budget at the same meeting.
Good luck with that Disney
I was initially excited about this and the possibilities of what WDI could do with it, but now after hearing the attractions we would be getting, I'm left with an extremely sour taste in my mouth.
A motorbike coaster just sounds meh to me. The theming could be really great, but the whole ride concept isn't all that enticing.
How would they upgrade Soarin' to make it really fantastic? No matter which way you look at it, it will always be a mediocre "simulator".
An AA zoo? :bang:
A motorbike coaster? I wonder if this is rebounding off the Tron idea...
There's no way to pull off riding those dragons...
A was hoping Disney would surprise us with a new high tech simulator worth giving a damn about...

It appears that the FJ Kuka ride system is the last new ride technology any of us will see for many years to come. I cannot think of anything being developed for anywhere that is on the scoop/FJ bench scale.
This thread should just be locked until something actually happens.
So most likely forever :figment:

Any thing on this project? Seems like it may have fallen off the face of the planet as far as hearing anything new going on.
Nope. I doubt we hear anything until they decide what they're actually going to do.
If we don't hear about that soon...I'd just expect to never hear anything about it again.
I do know they are slowly trying to shuffle the characters out of Camp MM. They were experimenting with the Chipmunks at Rafiki's Planet Watch already.
The characters will be moved and FOTLK should close for "relocation" sometime in early 2013.
But that still won't mean Avatar is full steam ahead. Until they give you plans/art or vertical construction, Avatar isn't close to happening.
...said everyone in 1994 and 2004 when 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was closed and then filled in.
But that was without promise of an Avatar expansion (or any named expansion at all).
Right. There's ever so slightly more behind this move. But not much more.

Exactly! So what, we'll get Avatar in 2020 or 2030!
