But I would be highly interested in seeing how this real-life Pandora would work out. It could be cool, and monetarily, it&#8217;s a smart idea; Disney has probably been slightly worried about how well Universal Studios&#8217; 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&#8211;the Battle of the Dollar. And it will be a glorious thing to watch play out. <\/p>\n<p>Would you go to a real-life Pandora?
