I would prefer it to be at Disneyland, but I don't mind it being at DCA. DLR just needs Avatar stuff the franchise has gotten too popular for it to not to be in their parks
Throw it in DisneyForward so I won't have to see it in either park ...and it'll not be seen until 2030-ish lol (I'm terrible)
I’ll believe it when I see it, if I remember corrected Navi river journey was also rumored to use that ride system for a while as well.
Gonna be honest, I’ll be a little bummed if the entirety of Hollywood backlot is leaving. I know what will replace it will be much better, but there’s a certain charm about it that I want them to keep. I kinda want the main pathway to stay just for the sake of a part of the original vision of DCA to still be there. It would be nice to put PhilharMagic into the Animation building for a proper version of it.
Shanghai Pirates has a pretty cool underwater sequence… which is the perfect tech for a Way of Water ride experience.

Just a note that during the shareholder meeting this was couched in the now-familiar blue sky language and prevaricating. "A potential look at", "a concept of", "an idea of what our x might look like".
Nonetheless, that boat's capacity looks very similar to that of the Shanghai Pirates ride.
Shanghai Pirates tech with the world of Pandora leads to a crap-ton of opportunities that makes a lot of sense for a Avatar E-Ticket.

Yep, I totally believe that the 2021 layout matches up with this 2024, post Way of Water concept art. Yep, no questions whatsoever.

lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Either 1) Its part of Disney Forward and its 5+years away and still not approved yet or at the time of announcement
2) It's taking over the Grizzly area in DCA because they have no other area in the parks that could be anything close to the concept art
Either way we are....3+ years away from this no idea why we have been talking about this the last year....like what is next for Disneyland after splash because this is not it.

While I won't believe anything is under the works at Disney until we see shovels hit the ground... Disney has started to turn the corner much faster than expected to a degree. I think they can get these projects done much faster than we think if they believe its necessary.
We're seeing live entertainment brought back into the parks (whether you agree with the new Epcot show or not, at least it's something).

So if this truly is going in Disney forward…we’re not gonna see this for another ten years. Ouch.

Literally nothing about its location or timeline has been confirmed. Stop doomposting.
Concept art looks cool, but it’s certainly not an announcement of anything. Given that things appear to be ramping up at Animal Kingdom, I’m curious to see if we’re about to see a bigger focus on the domestic parks after years of getting the international parks in order.
If this is a "close to final" concept, Disneyland Forward goes out to the board for approval later this month... and you could see movement later this year or earlier next year.
You wouldn't announce something on a board meeting and not have intentions to do something. This exact piece of art/concept may not happen, but this certainly shows Disney is ready to hit the ground running.
