Avatarland at Disney Animal Kingdom
It was announced
sometime back that Disney had teamed up with James Cameron to bring Avatar
alive in the Disney Animal Kingdom Park. New technology has been created to
bring this new land alive.
Here is what was
reported in the Disney Parks Blog and video shown at the D23 in Japan, October
14, 2013.
"Over the weekend,
Tom Staggs wowed the crowd at the first-ever D23 Expo in Japan with an early
glimpse of what’s planned for AVATAR at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park. He shared
some breathtaking concept renderings of floating mountains, bioluminescent
plants and other awe-inspiring experiences guests will encounter in the mythical
world of Pandora.
Also at the D23
Expo Japan, Tom shared video of filmmaker James Cameron and Walt Disney Imagineer
Joe Rhode highlighting the creative work already underway on the project. Joe
said when the AVATAR-inspired land is completed, it’ll be a transformational experience
that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Today, we wanted to share the
entire video with Disney Parks Blog readers."
And now I’m
sharing it with you:
Personally I will
not go to Avatarland. Yes, I did see and “enjoy” the movie.
I’m not interested
in it as part of Disney. I do not think it fits in the Animal Kingdom. Animal
Kingdom has real animals and creatures from history as a base of its
attraction. It is not a park designed for fantasy, it is designed to educate
you to the nature of OUR world not the fake world of Pandora.
I could think of
many other more interesting things to put into the space they are dedicating to
Avatarland. How about a creatures of legends area? Show the real animals that
may have been the base of the legend. What about adding attractions that have
the Disney dragons in them? Fly with Maleficent’s Dragon, have an adventure
with Mushu and Mulan or a wizard fight with Mad Madam Mim to add to the fantasy
side. How would the Disney Dragons fit? It could be tied in by showing the flying
lizards that were found in Indonesia in recent years.

WiKi has to say about these types of creatures:
What a way to
teach people about our fantastic world and the creatures here! What a fun way
to let kids know that people’s imaginations have been spurred by the creatures
they see around them.
