The land is designed to be a visual recreation of the planet Pandora from the Avatar films and contains two new ride experiences, The Na’vi River Journey, which sends guests floating down a calm waterway to view the bioluminescent plant life of Pandora while also checking out the local wildlife, and Flights of Passage, which puts guests on the back of a banshee and sends them soaring through the skies above the planet.
That’s a bit surprising, but it’s good news for Disney that the investment in Avatar is paying dividends.
This is the first time Epcot has fallen from the number two spot which means that even the year that Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened, it wasn’t visited by enough people to overtake Epcot.
