Memphis 105 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 On the Disney Blog http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2014/01/construction-begins-for-avatar-inspired-land-at-disneys-animal-kingdom/Be sure and check out the videos and artist drawings. This is going to be Amazing. I hope I live long enough to see it finished. I am a huge fan of the movie and when I first heard Disney was going to do this I thought they could never pull off the the scale of Pandora but they say they are complete with floating mountains and bio-luminescent plants.

sherryberry 35 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I wasn't really that into the movie, but it looks like it could be pretty neat (if done right). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Oh, oh Memphis, TCD beat you to the punch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Oh, oh Memphis, TCD beat you to the punch. That's OK. Harold's thread can be for the fans. And mine can be for the haters. I'm glad that someone is excited about this project. It might be OK. I just have a problem with them putting it in a perfectly good space in AK.

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Night activities will be cool bc it will draw people away from the parks that my family will be in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As with any business, cannibalizing from yourself is not a good business model, and that's what you're hoping for.I'm sure Disney is expecting overall WDW attendance to increase because of the addition.If it doesn't, heads will roll because how will they pay off the huge bill?

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I think they expect it to increase like what Harry Potter did for Universal.Its just not going to happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Are you hoping that it won't, or are you saying that it won't.I am not hoping it fails, because I dont want the cost of failure passed on to us.I just dont buy that avatar has harry potter-like staying power.

caveat lector 181 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 The parks business is a cash cow. To let it wither and die is not an option. I trust that their capital review process was extensive. Avatar fan or not, I like to see investment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Was avatar ever a book? I know tons of people who have read Harry potter but I have never heard someone say they are reading Avatar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
