Next year the Pandora: the World of Avatar is set to open in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and with the arrival of this new ‘land’ we will receive two new major attractions. Though the opening of Pandora is getting closer, not that much detail is known about the two upcoming attractions. Luckily the Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World guide has two ride descriptions included in their newest guide book. The ride descriptions give us a little more insight of what to expect when these two attractions debut next year.
Na’Vi River Journey (FP+)
A musical voyage into Pandora’s bioluminescent forest, this trip is as calm and family-friendly as they come. The adventure begins as guests board canoes and venture down a mysterious, sacred river hidden within the rainforest. The grandeur of Pandora is revealed as canoes float past exotic glowing plants and an array of amazing creatures, include native humanoids known as Na’vi. The journey culminates in an encounter with a Na’vi shaman, who has a deep connection to the life of Pandora and sends positive energy into the forest with her music. Na’vi River Journey is generally appreciated by guests of all ages (through timid tykes who are spooked by darkness may find parts of this expedition unsettling).
AVATAR Flight of Passage (FP+)
The crowning jewel of Animal Kingdom’s newest neighborhood, AVATAR Flight of Passage invites daredevils to take a scenic trip to Pandora on the backs of a flying Mountain Banshee. The intense journey takes place in a cutting-edge, simulator-like environment and offers much more than a thrill a minute. Guests are treated to a bird’s-eye view of all the sights, sounds, and smells of the majestic moon that the Na’vi call home.
A high-flying “E-Ticket” experience, Flight of Passage is a most realistic, immersive experience. It is not recommended for guests with motion sensitivity, heart conditions, fear of heights, or any other physical issues. This experience is quite popular, book a Fastpass+“>Fastpass+ assignment if you can. For height requirements, visit www.disneyworld.com.
Director James Cameron is set to announce brand new details about Pandora: The World of Avatar at the ‘D23 Destination D: Amazing Adventures’ event in November at Walt Disney World.
