Seems like a perfect idea. It reunites two original, well-liked characters in a vein similar to the original Imagination attraction with state-of-the-art technology and great guest immersion. Sounds like a true winner! But sadly, it'll probably never come to fruition because of cost :(

Mystic Manor looks incredible! Now that's a grade A dark ride. Just goes to show what Disney is capable of creating when they're willing to expend the required money and effort.

All the attractions in the new land could be original. Just because they have the rights to Avatar doesn't mean that each attraction will be rooted in the storyline. I honestly think they bought Avatar for the rights to Pandora itself (ie: the plants, the exotic creatures, etc), not a...

Now THAT would be AWESOME! :D

Off topic: Maleficient in dragon from would have fit perfectly in the villain subland of Fantasyland. Oh how I miss the Villain/Bald Mountain rumors from years back. Maybe one day we'll see some evil lurking on the other side of Fantasyland Forest where the Pixies were set to roam ...

I think the biggest part of the Avatar deal that members here are misunderstanding is that Disney is going after Pandora, not the Avatar storyline. They're trying to recreate the planet's landscape (environment) and showcase its plant and animal wildlife. That screams Animal Kingdom. At this...

That's because the Imagineers didn't even know they were going to be tasked with building Pandora. When Disney made the announcement, they didn't have any details because the contract had literally just been signed between Iger and Cameron. At that point, no real design plans had been made...

What I'd give to have a nice big B&M inverted coaster at Disney World (ie: Great Bear at Hershey Park) <3

That actually would be a really great idea. Disney World doesn't have a toboggan ride, and the wood + water element would allow it to blend nicely with the islands woodsy atmosphere. Toboggan rides are thrilling yet also tame enough that the whole family can enjoy. Again, you have the...

I think having Justin sing at the parade this year makes perfect since. He just released a Christmas album that has received favorable reviews from the critics (for both his covers and original songs) and has had great sales. His voice is maturing and thus expanding his popularity to a broader...

I completely agree with you. People seem to be afraid that Avatar is a fad and might not be popular down the road. While the plans are still in the development stages, I think it's safe to assume that the land won't be a real-life version of the movie storyline ... it'll be a real-life version...

Not that dumb if you actually think about it. I love Harry Potter; I grew up reading the books, saw every movie, had Harry Potter Halloween costumes, etc. But it's a fad. The Harry Potter hype won't last forever. The characters themselves will become a thing of the past. People 50 years...

This would be the perfect opportunity for Disney to finally include an inverted coaster in one of its parks! (Something along the lines of Great Bear at Hershey Park or Montu at Busch Gardens, Tampa) Disney can definitely capitalize on this movie franchise. In fact, I think Avatar will stand...

It'll never happen ... BUT those are excellent ideas! Really well thought out and I'm sure a park like that would be super successful (and feasible had the current parks not already been flooded by Pixar-based attractions). Have you sent in a resume to Imagineering yet? :)

I'll jump on that band wagon with you! :)

I had the same problem in January when they were removing the castle lights. I was able to use the hanging flowers on Main Street to block out the crane and get some great photos of the castle (with beautiful flowers in the foreground). The crane obviously isn't ideal, but it certainly...

I would add an inverted coaster somewhere near the rear of AK (probably on the right side of Africa). Inverted coasters are one of the most popular in the roller coaster world and allow a large amount of guests to ride per hour (very efficient). See Great Bear (Hershey Park), Montu (Busch...

More proof that once something is posted online, it can never be erased. Helpful tool for us though! :)

I understand why you're calling these two monorails 13 and 14. They're new colors and therefore different entities (particularly 14 which will have a few completely new pieces). We'll take a sports example. Typically when a number is retired, that number is never used again for that...

Post of the day! haha :)
