Behind the Scenes at Animal Kingdom’s Pandora

After years of development and construction, Pandora: The World of Avatar at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom is finally scheduled to open this summer, and Disney is beginning to preview the theme park land’s high-tech attraction and thematic offerings.

Watch the behind-the-scenes glimpse of Pandora: The World of Avatar below:


The video showcases some impressive shots of the front- and back-ends of Pandora.

The above shot could potentially show the ride vehicles for one of the land’s two major attractions, Avatar: Flight of Passage

Pandora’s other major attraction, Na’vi River Journey, offers riders a cruise through Pandora’s lush landscape and scenery.

Guests will be able to walk under Pandora’s iconic floating mountains.

On my first watch of the video, I didn’t realize that the Naʼvi character featured at the end of the video was an animatronic rather than an animation. I think that will be a recurring theme at Pandora.
