It has been two years since Disney announced this thing, and all we got so far is nothing. Absolutely nothing!

And if you think about, in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Hogsmeade was starting to be built two years after their announcement.

You can't go solely based on the announcement because nothing was planned at the time. Most imagineers didn't even know about it. But we should have at least seen some sort of concept art by now. some guys looking at Styrofoam and a "trip to Pandora" is not what I would call progress...

i still think they are further along than most think.... not that i think disney should get a pass....its ridiculous that more has not been released be it disney or camerons fault

This. The fact that construction hasn't started is ridiculous. The fact that we don't even have art or any clue what's actually coming is unforgivable

If memory serves, WWoHP was announced at least a year and a half before construction started.

Nice bash about this in bill and ted. "Avatar Land! Coming To one of your local theme parks in 2065!"

Nope. It was announced May 31st of '07, and construction began 7 months later.

I blame FOX for forcing Disney's hand. When the announcement was made Cameron and WDI had never met or created anything. And WDI didn't know. That's why it's taking forever.

I think it was more Iger wanting to show that he too had a big movie franchise for Florida.

One movie doesn't make a franchise.

But it's been 2 years now, they should have *something* to show by now.

That wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't contradicted the movie they were supposedly researching. But such is to be expected when details are more about insipid self references than something to support the illusion.
