Walt Disney World Sets Height Requirements for Attractions in Pandora – The World of Avatar

Walt Disney World has made the height requirements for the new rides in Pandora – The World of Avatar available.

Avatar Flight of Passage, will have a 44″ height requirement. This will put it in line with Expedition Everest, Mission Space and Space Mountain, and significantly higher than the similar Soarin’ attraction at Epcot, which is 40″.

Disney’s description of Flight of Passage:

Get a banshee’s-eye view of the beauty and grandeur of Pandora on a rite of passage you won’t soon forget!

Deep in the heart of the Valley of Mo’ara, discover Avatar Flight of Passage—an all-new expedition that lets interstellar explorers like you climb atop a mountain banshee for a breathtaking, first-person flight over the moon’s incredible landscape.

Bonding with a mountain banshee is a crucial step in the life of a Na’vi hunter—and flying on the back of one of these powerful winged creatures represents an important rite of passage.

Now, as a visitor to Pandora, you’ll finally have the chance to test yourself in a similar way!

Pandora’s second attraction, Na’Vi River Journey will not have a height requirement, as was expected.

Glide down a gentle, mysterious river and feel a sense of wonder as the full beauty of Pandora reveals itself. Located within the Valley of Mo’ara, Na’vi River Journey offers explorers an experience that has to be seen—and heard—to be believed!

As your expedition begins, climb aboard a reed boat and drift downstream. After coasting through a series of caves, and passing by exotic glowing plants and amazing creatures of the rainforest, you’ll soon find yourself face-to-face with the Na’vi Shaman of Songs.

The adventure comes to a conclusion as the Shaman demonstrates her deep connection to the life force of Pandora—and sends positive energy out into the forest through the power of her music!

Na’Vi River Journey to Add Music & Energy to Pandora – The World of Avatar

Na'vi River Journey

The Na’vi River Journey, which will open in 2017 and is the second attraction announced for Pandora – The World of Avatar, will offer a D-Ticket class family river ride through Pandora’s bioluminescent rainforest. The river cruise will provide an alternative experience for those guests who may not wish to experience the land’s more thrilling AVATAR Flight of Passage attraction.

From Disney’s announcement:

Pandora – The World of AVATAR will bring a variety of new experiences to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, including a family-friendly attraction called Na’vi River Journey. The adventure begins as guests set out in canoes and venture down a mysterious, sacred river hidden within the bioluminescent rainforest. The full beauty of Pandora reveals itself as the canoes pass by exotic glowing plants and amazing creatures. The journey culminates in an encounter with a Na’vi shaman, who has a deep connection to the life force of Pandora and sends positive energy out into the forest through her music. Na’vi River Journey will open with Pandora – The World of AVATAR in 2017.
