James Cameron: putting people out of work to make more money. Gotta love his spirit.

It's the American way. He's a true pioneer.

DAK already has Doug and Russel in front of Tough to be a Bug, but considering there's only 2 main animal characters in the entire movie....I wouldn't want to see it in DAK. I'd rather see an entire S. America or Australian land.

I don't double post but this might be worth mentioning. A cast member may or may not have spotted survey markers backstage behind Rainforest Cafe in that empty lot.

I think the Double Post thing goes out the window after a week

The empty lot by the giant tree animal feeder thing?

I believe he means this area: http://goo.gl/maps/Eev8

It has long been logical.

Oh my. Let's see how this plays out. If this is for real, then I hope Disney does as great work here as they did with Carsland at DCA.

Lee, on WDWMagic, has recently stated that Avatar would be replacing CMM and Festival of the Lion King would be relocated.

IF it's built, of course. But yea, that's where it'll go, seeing as they already had land cleared for something else (aka better)

 

[Jakemeister]

That'd make a lot of sense. The only real other option would be by Conservation Way, and I have a feeling that is used for the animals.

I'd assume the characters currently at CMM will be relocated to Planet Watch, but who knows.

Indeed, that area. I believe it's only currently used for parking for Rainforest Cafe employees.

Well, so did I.

Not necessarily. They either could be scattered around the park like they are at MK, or the Character Spot in Discovery Island could be used for the big characters rather than Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger.

Yes and no.

Nothing new but I thought it would be worth mentioning. Meg Crofton mentioned today at the AoA opening ceremony that Avatar is still coming to AK.

Her word was "planning." I guess the social media crew sent out a memo that it's to be mentioned at every press event after Iger ignored it at the Shareholder meeting. I have to admit though that I'm starting to fear that this may actually happen.

 

[Don Pacho]

Yes!!

 

[AcidPop]

I dunno. I think this could turn out to be incredible. Avatar's plot was hardly unique, but the visuals were stunning, and frankly, that's the more important element for a theme park attraction. Story they can skimp on a little.

I agree 100%. Pandora is a highly engrossing world and the film could lend to some very innovative attractions. I'm all for this IF they can pull it together. DAK could use a big break like Avatar to, say, seize the moment and fix Everest.

I have to admit, I was a bit surprised when she mentioned Avatar.

 

[MIAboy]

Now that carsland is done, I'm excited to see what they do with Avatar. Carsland has proved to everyone once again that they are the best at creating immersive environments. But if they are gonna go ahead with Avatarland, they have to go big.

 

[UNIrd]

Lmao. That is AWESOME. And, if Star Wars is any indication, probably a good idea of what we'll be seeing around the park.
