What are the bronze looking discs on FoP?

[Veronica Jude]

Every time I ride I notice these two bronze discs on the side of a cliff and I’m wondering what the heck they are. It’s right after you go over the water and I took a screen shot of it but I can’t figure out how to add the image. If anyone has any clues I would appreciate it!

Hi Veronica,

One mystery solved:
You don't have enough posts on the DISboards, yet, to be able to post images.

omitting the fact that you are not supposed to take video or pictures on this ride, I found this video. Can you pinpoint what you're asking about

Yes! Thank you, it starts at the 1:49 mark and they are the right side... please let me know what you think!

Thanks, good to know. Is that why I can’t add a profile pic as well? This is what I get for following the boards for this long without diving inb myself. ;-)

I think they're drums

They are definitely some kind of Na'vi artwork or something that they made as there appear to be Na'vi hanging on them. The video is a bit blurry though, probably because of the 3D that can't be captured by a camera.

Thanks guys! I figured it was something made by the Navi but I’ve never seen them anywhere else and I don’t remember any other metal made Navi things like that. Plus they are huge and way up on the side of a cliff. I ride FoP almost weekly and they stand out to me every single time.

Man, what a great life!

Man, what a great life!

Ha! Yeah, I realize how fortunate I am. The worst thing about living in Orlando is the relentless heat but the best thing is being able to go the parks whenever I want! I grew up not far from here so it has always been a fun thing to do but it really did save me in a way when I was going through a massive depression. I could hardly leave my bedroom, much less my house for a couple of years and when I finally was crawling my way out of the funk sometimes the only thing I had energy for was to go somewhere by myself and the parks were a life saver. I like going with my mom or husband now but I still enjoy how stress free it can be to go solo!

Either drums or dwellings. Tanned and treated hide would fit with their "known" culture.

You’ve given me a reason to try to keep my eyes open next time, despite the nausea!

 

[runwad]

I'm gonna have to check this out too, thanks!!

That’s interesting, but they are so high up I don’t see how they could be used.

True, that could be it but with them being placed so high I don’t know how they could be used by anyone.But that does make sense then them being metal, which is what I thought.

Sweet! Let me know what you think next time through please! As far as the nausea, I get it. I have vertigo but I’m usually fine on the ride except for the day I was “lucky” enough to ride it four times in a row. I should have stopped at three and I’ll remember that for the DIS party next year because that fourth time did me in. I could barely drive home and I was sick for almost exactly 24 hours from the last time I rode it!

I agree! They just seem so different from anything Navi that I’ve seen and the placement seems just as odd to me as well. But it’s obvious they were put there deliberately so eventually I will find out exactly why. ;-)

I'll definately be looking for them the next time I ride.

Here’s the best one of the screenshots I took. I’m interested to see what people come up because it’s bugged me for a long time!

Have you gone back to watch the movie to find them in there? I found a whole lot of what is in FoP is straight out of the movie.
And how on earth did you take the photo when there are no cameras or phones allowed?
And better yet, why does it matter to know what they are? Honestly most curious about this one. Can't they just be for nothing more than decoration? Be there just because
