Pandora, Themed area at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Bay Lake, US
The attraction spans 12 acres with floating mountains, alien wildlife, and bioluminescent plants based on the fictional moon Pandora from Avatar films.
Walt Disney Imagineering started the development in 2011 with James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment, opening the area to visitors on May 27, 2017.
The area design draws inspiration from the natural formations of Wulingyuan in China while promoting messages of conservation and environmental protection.
Visitors can experience two main attractions: Avatar Flight of Passage, a 3D flying simulator, and Na'vi River Journey, a boat ride through bioluminescent environments.
Motion sensor technology enables artificial plants throughout the area to respond to guest interactions, creating an interactive natural environment.
