    Thumbs up Disney World announces AVATAR Theme Park at the Animal Kingdom

    Avatar Forums is pleased to learn that Disney is going to build Avatar theme park attractions, beginning at the animal kingdom theme park in Orlando, Florida. In an announcement I listened in on this morning, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed the exclusive deal. James Cameron, who is currently working on the second and third installments of the top-grossing film of all time, said the attractions would be a way to bring the lush and beautiful world of Pandora to life.

    Cameron who was also in on the call said, “this is a pretty darned exciting project.” The announcement this morning reminds me of the Avatar themed restaurant discussion I started back in January of this year. I have to imagine, if any company was able to bring the world of Pandora to life, it would be Disney.

    Awesome! I am excited. Disney needs something like this to compete with the Harry Potter attraction at Universal Studios. I think it will be awesome. Disney has a lot of space to build a awesome theme park area dedicated to Avatar. I know Animal Kingdom is split into separate areas dedicated to those "eras" or countries. They have "Asia", "Africa" and "Dinoland USA". These are all dedicated to the animals and customs of the people. I would imagine this Avatar themes attraction would also do the same thing. Probably see two or three "Big Rides".

    Thanks for the news Lon!

    Edit: First Avatar themed attraction being built at Disney World not Disney's Animal Kingdom.

    Wonder how long construction will take and how big the project is. It could take a few years or more to get an attraction built especially if your going to make a "Avatar themed land". Maybe they will release some concept art soon.

    Oh wow! This is awesome news -- Irayo for sharing, Lon! How cool will it be (if done right) to have a section of Disney's Animal Kingdom devoted to Avatar! I am a bit of a Disney fan myself, so combining Disney "Imagineering" with Avatar is a potent mix (gives me the goosebumps). Can't wait to see how it all turns out! And very appropriate to have the Avatar attractions in Animal Kingdom, with its themes of celebrating/preserving nature and animals here on earth.

    I have faith in the Disney Imagineers! I think they will pull it off. I am sure that Cameron will also keep an eye on the project.
