PANDORA Revealed

[skier_pete]

1) OK, an itty-bitty more.
2) The official language is Na'vi.
. . . hello = kaltxi (kahl-T'IH)
. . . goodbye = Eyah ngahu (EY-wah-NGAH-hoo)
. . . please = Rutxe (roo-T'EH)
. . . thank you = Irayo (ee-RAH-yo)
. . . where is rest room = FNGA'tseng peseng (FNGA-tseng-peh-SENG) . . . . . . [what else could it be ?]
.
NOTE: Try to practice them all before your visit, especially the last one. There WILL be a quiz.

Geez - it just me years to just learn Jambo and Kwaherini!

Geez - it just me years to just learn Jambo and Kwaherini!

1) In that case, Go-For-The-Gold.
2) Try a version of the Lord's Prayer in Swahili.
. . .

3) You hear this exact tune in AK on the Safari ride, and on several WDW buses going to/from AK.
4) I got this while on business in Africa over 15-years-ago at a dinner show.
.
5) NOTE on "Baba Yetu" (translation = "Our Father")
. . . Baba Yetu was an arrangement by Christopher Tin in 2006 for the "Civilization IV" computer game
. . . it was a "play" on the original
. . . just like there are several arrangements of musical version of The Lord's Prayer in English
. . . the below is not a version of Tin's Baba Yetu

Still very light on the details. I like these sort of dark rides so I'm looking forward to it though. I'm hoping for more Pirates than Small World.

 

[thepops]

me too!!!

Maybe they will come out with a Pandora Pandora!

 

[sndral]

Still very light on the details. I like these sort of dark rides so I'm looking forward to it though. I'm hoping for more Pirates than Small World.

Well, we now know water, canoe, bioluminescence, shaman (why do I think of EE and the Yeti when I read that) and casting a spell through music.
I liked the first version of the concept art - the one with the boat in it, better than the newest concept art which has more land and way too much purple. I hope they hit it out of the park and don't end up with something lackluster like they did in fantasy land w/ Little Mermaid.

 

[Planogirl]

Pizzafari is part of Pandora? So what kind of food do they eat?

Well it's a boat ride so I did expect both water and a boat.

Really I think the Shaman is only new detail here, but since there had been rumors of delays it's nice to hear them confirm its coming.

Here is a picture of the new restaurant behind pizzafari.

1) Not, "Behind" Pizzafari.
2) But, "Part" of Pizzafari.
3) This is the TS addition to Pizzafari.

Well the construction is behind pizzafari but yes it will be part of Pizzafari.

 

[Huggups]

Nope still on pace for 2017. Star wars on the other hand could be 2020.

Most definitely, if not beyond! DU guessed at a 2019 Opening which makes a lot of sense being the 30th Anniversary. Even if they open it in stages, that would be exciting!

Opening in phases is expected.

 

[Flyerjab]

I don't think this happens in phases anymore since they announced more about the boat ride opening with the 'rest of Pandora.' Also, I think that this picture was more telling in that there were actual Na'vi AAs as well as the horse-type animals that they rode. Starting to wonder also if this is more like PotC as opposed to IASM. It won't be length-wise but I am wondering if there will be AAs - really incredible AAs - throughout this entire ride. I am hoping that this ride is one of the most visually stunning experiences in all of WDW.

I would be extremely cautious about relying on concept art for anything.

Yes look at new fantasyland concept art for example.

 

[TheRustyScupper]

1) Ogre (I mean Iger) is at AK this evening (11/9/15) for some kind of announcement in front of The Tree of Life.
2) Maybe we learn something new?

Are Disney film crews with him? They are doing filming for the Christmas parade this week I believe, so could be a bit promoting the AK expansions.
