This ride is currently under construction. Avatar AirbenderAn extreme family thrill ride, taking you through the curl of the wave with rotating seats and an amazing free fall experience. Here are various construction cam shots: Here's where Rock Bottom Plunge will be going. Here's another showing Airbender's completed trackwork. Basic overview.

Wow! This is a great addition for MoA, but SpongBob doesn't look like that much of a children's ride... Same with Airbender. But other than that, looking great.

^ I thought the same thing, but I was surprised at how many kids rode (and loved) Mystery Mine.
I think kids are braving up these days, especially if there's an element there they can identify with.

^ I believe originally Avatar was going to be the euro-fighter.
I don't know, Avatar sorta seems fitting for the half-pipe, I guess since the disko's have been named that.

Wouldn't 11 or later be the best time to work though? Since that is when the mall would be the least crowded and noise and dust wouldn't be as big of a problem.
