In the attraction, which is part of Pandora: The World of Avatar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, participants take a simulated flight on a banshee’s back through the lush landscapes of Pandora, inspired by the 2009 James Cameron movie Avatar. The ride mixes motion-simulator technology with 3D video, haptic vibration and multi-sensory effects. It won the 2018 VES Award for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Special Venue Project and has been exceedingly popular since its May 2017 debut – so much so that initial wait times for the ride sometimes extended to six hours.
