The New York Times have revealed that
Avatar is heading to Disney World, with an official announcement expected later today. Below are some excerpts from their report, but what do you guys make of this? It certainly seems like a great fit for the theme park, but will this delay the long rumored debut of a Marvel themed section? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
Robert A. Iger, chief executive of the Walt Disney Company, plans to announce on Tuesday morning that Disney has licensed the rights to the hit movie “Avatar” from 20th Century Fox for a theme park experience, according to two people briefed on the plan.
The “Avatar” experience – plans call for more than a single ride – will be built at Animal Kingdom, the newest of the four major theme parks that make up Disney World in Orlando, Fla., according to these people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Disney did not authorize them to speak publicly.
James Cameron, the director of that science-fiction film, will collaborate with Disney on the attraction. “Avatar” sold $2.8 billion at the global box office and two sequels are in the works.
