Disney's Animal Kingdom has released details on The Rookery, an interactive retail experience, that will be located inside the Windtraders store in Pandora:




... 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.

... Guests can either display a banshee on their shoulder or cradle them in their arms. We will also offer a banshee perch that is sold separately.

The LA Times reported the cost will be $49.95 in their article from the recent Press Preview.

The cost is 49.95 but it is a detail of an adoption process. I actually received ours on cast preview. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170508/d049c07b9bd819b37d6a0f1cc5c4ecb3.jpg

This seems to me a direct attempt to mimic the process seen with wand purchases in Universal.

My son will be all about wanting one of these though, and the price point is lower than I actually anticipated.

They are pretty neat. All sorts of colors and I agree... however they are not 'Disney' made. They are a 3rd party group.

Dulcee! Yes!

My first thought was, "The wand selects the wizard, Harry Potter."

What is that saying about great minds?.... :thumbsup:
