Do we really believe Pandora will open in the summer?

Anybody wish avatar land was getting a third ride? Seems like two is now the standard minimum for new lands: toy story, Star Wars, the past two hogsmede wizarding worlds, and even diagon alley if you count the hogwarts express!

I suppose the environment itself in the land is like an attraction - if they pull it off like they have indicated with plants that respond to your touch and movement, etc. - so interactive elements (I'd equate it to like the Sleeping Beauty walk-through in Disneyland or even the animal trails at Animal Kingdom .... not a "ride" but an "attraction" of some sort)

They couldn't think of more rides? I'm sorry but that's a lame excuse and not true. Pandora was rumored to have a third ride (a coaster in fact) but that was cut out very early on. Toy story mania will be part of the DHS toy story land but it's not a new attraction. DHS needs capacity desperately.

where info on the coaster ride? i never saw that.

1) One never knows.
2) If it does not open on-time, WDW will certainly suffer a MAJOR-MAJOR-MAJOR public relations problem.
3) My guess is that if it is not totally ready, they would still open something. in order to save face.
. . . they did this when RoL wasn't opening and they threw together Jungle Book and half-hearted nighttime Safari ride
. . . the Jungle Book was done in ONLY two weeks - not too shabby, and it wasn't all that bad of an attempt

I disagree that not opening on-time will be a big public relations issue. I would guess that 99% of the guests going to Disney are not aware of what is currently in the works so they won't even know it's delayed. ROL was a bigger issue since they announced and actual opening date.
