Pandora – The World of Avatar is scheduled to open on May 27 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and this week Disney has been revealing more information about the new land.
The land is based on the Academy Award-winning film from director James Cameron an is the largest addition ever at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Pandora was a collaboration between James Cameron, Disney’s Imagineers, and Lightstorm Entertainment.
Guests will enter the land by crossing the Discovery River and walking through a winding rain forest path before entering into Pandora. The premise is that you’re entering the Alpha-Centauri solar system, which is where Pandora is located. Guests will see floating mountains, waterfalls, unique plant life, and more.
Two new attractions are part of Pandora – Avatar Flight of Passage and the Na’vi River Journey. One – Flight of Passage – is a thrill ride where guests will feel as if they are riding on a Banshee, while the Na’vi River Journey is touted as a family-friendly attraction.
The land will also feature the Satu’li Canteen (a restaurant) and Pongu Pongu (a drink location). Windtrader’s is a shop where guests will find Pandora and Na’vi goods.
