At D23: The Ultimate Fan Event, Disney announced that new interactive shoulder Banshees with upgraded tech and features will be coming to Pandora – The World of Avatar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

New Shoulder Banshees

These all new Banshees are far more advanced than the previous iteration. Those were powered with a bicycle brake-style mechanism, using pressure to perform a variety of movements like turning their heads, and were entirely mechanical.

These new Banshees will be able to “recognize each other, react through new motion and sound animations, and feature a bioluminescent glow” according to Disney.

This new and improved batch of Banshees will be coming to the Windtraders Rookery in Pandora – The World of Avatar later this fall. No pricing has been announced, and it is unknown at this time if Disney plans on phasing out the old style of Banshees or if the will be sold in tandem with these new models.

Watch our video below to see how Banshees are adopted (purchased) at the Rookery.

New details were announced yesterday about ‘Avatar 3’, which is now titled ‘Avatar Fire and Ash.’ It is set to hit theatres on December 19, 2025. We also predict that more details could be announced later tonight about the Avatar “experience” that is coming to Disneyland Resort.
