When “Avatar” first premiered, many people became distraught when they remembered that Pandora wasn’t real. Well, for some, their distraught feelings can be alleviated due to Disney World.
According to Entertainment Weekly, a joint press release from Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and Fox Filmed Entertainment has announced plans to create and open a “land” based on “Avatar.”
“With two new ‘Avatar’ films currently in development, we’ll have even more locations, characters and stories to explore,” said James Cameron, the director of “Avatar.” He also said that the park could have some settings from the upcoming sequels.
If I’m speaking honestly, I never was a real fan of “Avatar”–I’m one of the few people that are of this mindset. But I would be highly interested in seeing how this real-life Pandora would work out. It could be cool, and monetarily, it’s a smart idea; Disney has probably been slightly worried about how well Universal Studios’ The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park has been doing, but now with the addition of the Pandora park, Disney will have serious leverage. Then the real battle can begin–the Battle of the Dollar. And it will be a glorious thing to watch play out.
