Some of the vistas in original game are quite beautiful .But i notice many players just skip on them once they reach the spot of a vista.
Somehow i like the idea of vistas in hot unlocking new gliding challenge tracks
Then if you skip the vista you’ll mis out on hints of difficulties on the path
You can still skip vistas if you like to be surprised by the challenges of the unlocked gliding path

Maybe, in the POI video she needed to glide to something similar to a vista to unlock more gliding ability.

I’ve catched up on some of the POI shows but not all..
Do you mean that gliding abilities would be linked to vistas and you need to reach them in order to unlock new gliding abilities?
Like at the highest snow mountain peak with Icy winds,there could be a vista that improves your gliding skills in cold weather once you reached the vista

I know the first time I viewed the vistas, I made a point of watching it completely, but might skip on my 2nd or 3rd alt doing so. Gorgeous or not, after the 20th time, it loses its magic.

I could see viewing the vista maybe unlocking a glider challenge, where you have to pass through rings before getting to the platform, kind of like a reverse jumping puzzle with a chest at the end. To tie it in even closer, the camera might even follow the route needed to complete it.

hmm perhaps like dungeon paths there could be a few different routes linked to each vista .the route can change based on lurking dangers in the area..just like how airplanes sometimes have to fly around a dangerous area ,so can the routes change based on current (dynamic) events in the area.But maybe that would get too complicated?
Just an idea to spice it up a bit, for greater replay value perhaps
