There has been some recent speculation around the Internet that the AVATAR land project may be struggling to get off the ground. This news would certainly seem to contradict that notion.http://www.wdwmagic.com/Attractions/avatar/News/13Mar2012-Disney-CEO-Bob-Iger-reaffirms-AVATAR-land-coming-to-Disney%27s-Animal-Kingdom-in-2015.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Put this one solidly in the "RUMOR" department. Excerpted from NY Times...Competition with Universal, for instance, factored into Disney’s decision to beef up a previously planned expansion to its Magic Kingdom park in Orlando and spend an estimated $500 million on an “Avatar”-themed addition to its nearby Animal Kingdom park. The $425 million Magic Kingdom expansion opens in phases starting this year. “Avatar” construction is set to begin next year and open in 2015. Design details are secret, but James Cameron, who directed “Avatar” and is working on two sequels, has said part of the project will include a ride that simulates flight.Disney declined to comment for this article.http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/21/business/universal-armed-with-cash-from-comcast-takes-aim-at-disney.html?_r=2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
