All Around Orlando | Checking Out Banshees at The Rookery Inside Windtraders In Pandora World Of Avatar @AllaroundorlandoBlogspot | Uploaded May 2017 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
We got information on how to "adopt" a banshee at The Rookery in Windtraders. Unfortunately, the few banshees we tried didn't seem to work properly. The cast member also seemed to think our 6 year old didn't have the proper hand strength to make the banshee easily move. As with anything, your milage may vary. The cost of these newly available banshees are $49.99 and exclusive to Pandora, The World of Avatar.
From Disney Parks Blog:
At the Rookery, a Naturalist from Alpha Centauri Expeditions will assist a guest with identifying a favorite banshee from among 10 unique styles. Each interactive banshee includes three ranges of motion – mouth, head, and wings – that are controlled by hand. Guests will also hear them make authentic banshee sounds provided by Disney’s partners at Lightstorm Entertainment.
“We worked closely with [Lightstorm Entertainment] when designing the banshees,” continued Cody. “Their colors were inspired by banshees seen in the ‘Avatar’ motion picture. Their sounds make them feel as though they flew directly into Windtraders from the attraction. Guests will determine each banshee’s personality through a combination of hand movements and sounds.”
