 AVATAR Goes To DISNEY ........ (Parks)
Quote: Avatar Heads to Walt Disney Parks!
Fans looking forward to a return visit to Pandora now have something else to anticipate beyond the December, 2014 release of of Avatar 2. Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Worldwide has announced a new deal with Fox Film Entertainment and James Cameron that will bring his sci-fi world to Walt Disney theme parks, beginning with Disney World's Animal Kingdom.
"James Cameron is a groundbreaking filmmaker and gifted storyteller who shares our passion for creativity, technological innovation and delivering the best experience possible," said Robert A. Iger, President and CEO of The Walt Disney Company. "With this agreement, we have the extraordinary opportunity to combine James' talent and vision with the imagination and expertise of Disney."
Cameron himself is said to be heavily involved (alongside producing partner Jon Landau) and construction is eyed to begin in 2013 with Avatar attractions at other Disney parks to follow.
"'Avatar' created a world which audiences can discover again and again and now, through this incredible partnership with Disney, we'll be able to bring Pandora to life like never before," said Cameron, "With two new 'Avatar' films currently in development, we'll have even more locations, characters and stories to explore. I'm chomping at the bit to start work with Disney's legendary Imagineers to bring our 'Avatar' universe to life. Our goal is to go beyond current boundaries of technical innovation and experiential storytelling, and give park goers the chance to see, hear, and touch the world of 'Avatar' with an unprecedented sense of reality."

They could apply Digital Clothes that are only "visible" while wearing the 3D glasses.

Smart move. The Animal Kingdom could use a little sprucing up.
I also read that Disney is going to be spending $500 million on the Avatar section of the park. It'll be interesting to see what sort of attractions they'll come up with with that kind of money to spend.

 Re: AVATAR Goes To DISNEY ........ (Parks)
But is it smart money? I would have made it a tentative agreement for 2014 predicate on the success of the sequel, but I suppose Disney is tracking the DVD/Blu-Ray sales as an indicator of continued public interest???
