You do know Disney plans on opening Avatarland in phases...just like the Fantasyland Expansion.who knows how long it'll take for the entire land to be finished.
im not sure if thats entirely accurate...i think the phases may be Nighttime show, then Nighttime safari, then avatar
and yes i read Robert Niles article...but jason garcia mentioned the phases differently in his piece this week
"Disney has so far disclosed only a few details about its Animal Kingdom work. Additions will include an evening show combining live music, floating lanterns, water screens and swirling animal imagery, along with a revamped, nighttime version of its Kilimanjaro Safaris ride. The "Avatar" land, which will be the final phase and will open sometime in 2017, will feature floating mountains, lush jungle scenery and a ride meant to evoke riding a "banshee," a birdlike predator featured in the film."
i could be wrong
Think the land pavilion. A boat ride similar to Living with the Land (obviously Avatar themed) and a Banshee-flying ride that is similar in concept to Soarin', but is supposed to have a lot more movement and all-in-all blow Soarin out of the water. There's also said to be some sort of walkthrough attraction, but not sure if that's happening or not.So, what rides is Avatar Land getting anyways? Is it getting some sort of raft ride, as seen in the concept art?
I don't believe that it is a walk thru and a boat ride. There was discussion of whether it was going to be a walk thru OR a boat ride. When the cycle coaster was cut from the budget they decided to plus the walk thru/boat ride to a full blown boat ride attraction.Think the land pavilion.

I'd also expect a sit down restaurant (or at least counter service) to be built along with this. Possibly a Counter/Sit down combo like BOG? There hasn't been much said about a restaurant yet, but i'd be surprised if a sit down doesn't get built.

So it looks like the movie release schedule will be 2016, 2017,and 2018. Why we need three more movies is a bit beyond me, but I guess JC thinks he has a lot of story left to tell.
I call it now the sequel will be commercially successful but leave a sour taste in everyones mouth. The third will flop horribly and the fourth will barely make it in the cinemas.
I think the land will look amazing, don't get me wrong but I just have little to no interest in it due to the source material. Just wish Disney invested in something else.
Yeah. This second movie had better be really good, otherwise the rest of the trilogy is in jeopardy. I think the films will do good, just not those insane avatar 1 numbers. But who knows
I think part of the problem is that they waited way too long to release a sequel, by 2016 avatar will feel even more out dated then it does already.
haha this may have been the worse movie that's ever made 2.8 billion and was nominated for 9 acad. awards
And lets not forget Cameron's track record with sequels, having made 2 of the best sequels ever with Aliens and T2.
