LOL! Somebody just finally pointed out my biggest problem with it. Everytime I try to explain that, all my friends (who love Avatar) don't get that it's an insulting thing to do.You're at a 10, you need to turn it down to a 3.

Let me make sure I read this right. You're comparing growing an alien species to be used as an avatar with blackface? Okay.
Crack is wack, folks.
It's not just so it can be used as an avatar. It's done with the implication that the Na'vi will not notice or will be more sympathetic to somebody pretending to be of their race. I found it insulting. I'm part Native American and part Mexican, and if somebody showed up dressed up in traditional ceremonial clothing trying to get my land, you can bet your ass I'd be insulted.
But let's get back on topic. I'm sure Disney isn't that concerned about the sociological implications of a film. If they were, then we wouldn't hqve Song of the South.
And yes I knew that they knew, my point was that they didn't care at all that people were creating artificial bodies and thought they could walk among them. To me, I would be mad. I'd want you to come to me in your real body. Disrespect.
Beyond the games, what would you like to see in the Avatar Disney World Pandora that will be built in Orlando?
I definitely want to do a flight attraction of some kind. I love "Soarin' Over California" (at Disney's California Adventure Park in Anaheim). Flying is a big part of the movie. One of the things people liked the most at test screenings was going up into the floating mountains in the flying sequences. We may have banshees, Leonopteryxes, maybe some other flying creatures that don't make their appearance until the second and third films.
Guys, don't worry. WDI has a long time to think of a flying attraction.
Disney isn't stupid enough to clone a ride for the biggest expansion their parks have ever seen.
They're more into design than they've been letting on.
Construction won't start until 2013 because of financial reasons, not design reasons.
I think you're going WAY overboard on that one. This is far from the biggest expansion ever.
