Avatar coming to DCA

He can't even push his sequels to be released in a timely manner. Look at the gap between 1 & 2

I already used my "effort" by quoting Bill & Ted. So, you're stuck with lazy, but accurate.

And we have thousands of acres of land still to develop. We could actually build seven new full lands if we wanted to around the world

What a bizarre number to arrive at, and I'm not sure what he really means by it. There's way more room across all of Disney's parks than for just seven new lands.

Not my brain trying to count each Disney Resort & only getting 6 instead of 7

- Disneyland
- WDW
- Paris
- TOKYO
- Hong Kong
- Shanghai

Do you have to visit all 6 in order to unlock the mysterious 7th location!? I'm too lazy to check, but did I forget one?

I think that Iger meant that they could build 7 new lands in the acreage owned across all six resorts.

Maybe Cameron was around Disney too much and their adherence to timelines rubbed off on him.

It's a poorly stated statement... but I think he meant 7 Disneylands instead of individual lands themselves.

This makes more sense.

Still has better creative direction moving forward than MCU at the moment.

Or at least give DL Alien Encounter! This generation needs to get the scared out of them like we did as teens! *twitches*

I miss this. I think the fact it was in a Disney park is what threw people off the most because there was nothing else like it there and the rest of the park was cuddly in comparison. lol I loved it.

Yes, it was the scariest thing I've ever been on and to this day I haven't seen anything capture that again. I still think it's a shame it went away and that Disney hasn't tried to do something like this again. We could argue about the intensity of the ride but there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

I don't think Disney would ever do something like that again with any expansion projects sadly.

And that "Star Wars Experience" ended up terrible & not very Star Wars-y. MarvelLand was an underwhelming addition to DCA.

While both lands do bring in an audience, they're just not great lands/experiences. I can't see Avatar being any better.

The parks need more work than they do another new land. Unless something replaces the entirety of HollywoodLand at DCA.

 

[Jerroddragon]

I mean we know nothing about this...Disney seems to have zero idea as well

I hope it turns out well but no Idea every time Iger talks about it they flip flop on what the terms they are using for this is

I don't think Galaxys Edge and Avengers Campus are that comparible, and GE did give us the second best ride at the resort after IAJA. That and the Ronto-less wraps are my go to for lunch

I still hope this does end up being a full land. Ideally with something unique to DLR.

Also while online people don’t like these lands

Normal people seem to like if not love them

It’s rare that Avengers campus isn’t packed and kids and adults seem to love running into antman or Spider-Man just walking around

Also I’ve only heard good things about avatar land besides the boat ride needing just a little more

So while I might not care for the avatar IP, the land seems to work pretty well esport night which over hear at Disneyland would happen most nights u like over at AK which closes early many nights

Yeah, one unequivocally good thing about Avengers Campus is the meet and greets. Kids absolutely love “randomly” happening upon these characters and the actors do wonderful work.

Anyway, Avatar in Animal Kingdom kicks ass. Even a direct clone would be welcomed by me.

I saw this while browsing the WDWMagic forums so take this with a huge grain of salt. Here are some rumblings I've read about in regards to DLR's Avatar land that have stuck out to me. Here they are FWIW:
Avatar will go into DCA and replace the Hollywood backlot and bus transportation hub.
The E ticket will be a boat ride which would go in the transportation hub.
Look wise the land will borrow heavily from Way of Water.
The Hyperion may or be removed for a second ride in the land

There’s going to be a Flight of Passage, right? RIGHT?

If the Hyperion does end up going like some on WDWMagic believe, they could probably put something like a FOP in that spot. Apparently the E ticket boat ride will be using the Shanghai Pirates ride system.

This and the land being focused on stuff from Way of Water... >>>>>> FOP. I hope it's true!!!!!

That actually sound legit. A highly themed water ride is something DCA really needs. We better see FoP over here because why not.
