I'm not saying I'm not excited for Avatar, in fact Im pumped for it! I'm just saying SW Land would have been better.

That is funny and all but what does that have to do with Avatar land?

We're having the arguement that SW Land would have been better, plus why can't we have both?

We cannot have both because this is TDO. We are lucky the suits in California forced Star Tours 2.0 down TDO's throats or else we'd still have the old version or a "value engineered" version of Star Tours 2.0. And before someone mentions FLE, well, top suits forced that down TDO's throat too. And I am sure Avatar is being shoved down their throat as well. TDO's mantra is stagnation and cutting while raising prices, not innovation, imagination, giving guests something fro their money, and growth.

All indications point to no Star Wars additions to domestic parks for the foreseeable future.

So TDO wasn't going to put my all time favorite ride in DHS? :fist:

Someone, please explain to me how you can be "well underway" and "still honing in on what we're going to do" at the same time. Quote is from Staggs by way of Jason Garcia:

"We've gotten more excited about Avatar...That project is well under way. We're still honing exactly what we're going to do. But it's going to be big."

 

[Splatter]

Because the project being well underway to them is giving creative people the money and greenlight to do things, where as for us it should be someting to likely show for the product.

Either way, I don't see it ever getting an entire land. If it ever happens one major ride will suffice the appetite and TDO's budget.

It probably should have been more like "That project is well under way to honing in on exactly what we're going to do."

Great Job Disney!

 

[ReelJustice]

Avatar is supposedly in the PowerPoint they'll be showing tomorrow at the "Around the World" presentation.

 

[Hatetofly]

When and where is this presentation Reel?

 

[JungleSkip]

When and where is this presentation Reel?

Tomorrow. Not sure the time or place.

 

[Hatetofly]

Thanks Skip

 

[ReelJustice]

When and where is this presentation Reel?

That, I don't know. I'm not a big enough "media" personality to know these things!

Not exactly sure what we're looking at here. Then again, Disney's just honing in on that themselves.
