They're still up, but I'm in no way smart enough to comprehend what's going on in them. What's with the screens behind the screens?

^And a boat ride that appears to leave the show building and has an outdoor portion.

No need. They have been yanked. No more pictures, nothing to see.

Until they put half as many seats as Soarin in, let it run for a few years, and then shorten the ride by 2 minutes a la Country Bears.

I think this just raised more questions than it answers though.... if the screen is right in your face like that, why is the show room so huge?

Aaaaaaaaand they're down.

Thank you

One thing I don't get how can they do both a soaring like ride and a boat ride. One would think they would be to similar, with the soaring ride giving an aerial view and the boat ride giving a ground level view. I can't really see how they could blend either of these into a story based on Avatar which isn't very theme park friendly.

Dragon creatures/floating mountains on the aerial ride, ground-based creatures on the boat ride.

Get a little creative! If you can have a story around a Safari ride, I'm sure you can have one for a ride based on a movie. Let's just hope they are creative and inventive and give us more than just screens!

This is nothing like The Land Pavilion. You got Soarin' 2.0 (that's one better than the one in The Land) and then a Flora boat ride (much different than a boat ride to look at a bunch of plants). AND I don't see a food court in the plans.

So...Soarin' 2.0 and a boat ride. At least that's exactly what it appears to be. Hoping there's something special I can't gather from the plans.

From Lee:

There are four theaters, arranged kinda like M:S. you go in, see the show in one theatre, on one screen, and exit.

Color me disappointed so far but it's way to early and a lot can change.
