Disney has also released a video featuring a first look at ride footage for a Banshee flying attraction, the transition from day to night in Avatar land, and more details about the upcoming area. Included among the concept art released is a glimpse at a boat ride through the glowing world of Pandora.

Logically the Avatar ride will be a 3D movie based ride bacause the movie itself is 3D and Disney will need to go beond what they have done with the e-ticket Cars ride to represent the world of Pandora. There are 2 ways of traveling trough the air in the movie, by gunship or by flying dragon.

Mouse Unlimited seems to have heard the same rumors I have, but they throw in an additional element: a C-Ticket boat ride (or at least what appears to be a boat ride) that will be part of the Avatar development, too. Clearly, progress is happening.

I'd like to introduce you to a wonderful animal. We call this a Horse. It has been the standard for travel for centuries. The horse is so ingrained into our culture, the mechanical machines that we use to travel with measure how strong they are in HORSEPOWER. We ride them.

There is that animal you asked about. In fact, one of the fictional animals in Avatar was based completely on the horse. I'm sure you can see the resemblance. This is the part where you respond with your WIMI statement (What I Mean Is).

Of course, ride vehicles moving from 3D screen to 3D screen is Universal Creative's big thing. (Think Spider-Man, Harry Potter, and Transformers.) So I'd be very interested to see Disney's take on that concept. Lemme throw in one more twist.
