Do these vehicles move off the platform at all or does the entire platform of 8 vehicles move together? I'm glad they have 8 seats together, so that we don't have to split from any of the kids, but I'm a little concerned about my skinny 5-year-old riding on his own vehicle. From the pictures, I'm not even sure if his entire head will go over the top of it, even though he should meet the height requirement (he was just tall enough for Expedition Everest in October). Hope we find out more about these vehicles and the movement of the ride soon! Has anyone seen any written reviews yet?

The "bike" itself does not move off the platform to where there would be a danger of falling. It is unclear if the platform rooms move though.

Looking forward to AP preview! I'm going May 15 6p - 8p
I wonder how many AP slots they had...how many ppl will enter Pandora in each timeslot?

I think my plan will be to ride the rides first then explore.
I hope the refreshment area will be open for us to try out the food and drink.

Thanks to all who have kept us updated!

Avatar the movie is playing at the Disney Springs AMC starting May 5th for a limited time.

seems like i read 1800 per slot
should give you time to ride both rides, explore, and grab a bite

 

[CAS239]

No one knows the number per slot yet. I want to say on here after doing some math people were guessing about 1,000 per slot. I'm imagining it'll be around 500-1000 people

This is good for those that haven't seen the movie yet, especially if their showing it in 3D

Oh my, was hoping for something like this what 5 years ago at first discussion. People talked about the movie-who cares? MIL is going to freak out.

Hoping there are chairs/benches to just sit and swallow some beverages and take it all in.

Yes many of the videos were already posted in this thread over the last few pages.

The benches are hidden in the land. They aren't your typical benches.

Cool to hear. The rides sound great as well, but just the atmosphere at night looks crazy. Kinda blends into the TOL and ROL as well. Can't wait.

 

[jade1]

Pressed to think of another IP that is going to offer an anything like this, esp for AK. Incredible.
