Yup. A land is going to be made from the movie “Avatar”. The land will be at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and construction is set to begin in 2013.
The Disney Parks Blog posted about the new land saying, “James and his producing partner Jon Landau and their team at Lightstorm Entertainment will serve as creative consultants on the project and will work side-by-side with our Walt Disney Imagineers as we dream up experiences that will take our guests deep into worlds of AVATAR like never before. There are also two sequels to the record setting first film in the works, which will offer more fascinating stories, characters and locations to explore in the AVATAR universe.”
“We believe Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a great fit for this project because it was created to give guests the opportunity to experience the worlds of animals and nature – real and mythical – in new ways. Disney’s Animal Kingdom also celebrates adventure, living in harmony with nature and environmental stewardship – themes that are deeply rooted in the story of AVATAR.”
I, personally, think this Avatar land would be out of place in Animal Kingdom, but I think Disney will impress me and prove me wrong about that. I’ve never watched the movie so I’m not really that excited about it. I think I’ll watch it this weekend though.
