Avatar and EPCOT?

[fyn]

I'm more impressed that someone had the gall to spread a rumor that there would be an attraction based on a 20th Century Fox film coming to a Walt Disney World Park.

Next thing you know someone will tell you Dunkin Donuts is planning on selling bags of Starbuck's coffee in all major locations.

You mean like Star Wars?

The difference there is Lucas himself owns the rights to Star Wars, not the studio. I doubt Cameron did that with Avatar.

would not make sense

Don't get me wrong, Avatar was a great movie, but it wouldn't fit any of epcot's theme. Maybe DAK...

Good call!

This thread is really hilarious in retrospect. I think it explains why everyone was so shocked and formed passionate opinions about this Avatar expansion immediately- because nobody ever, ever saw it coming.

because nobody ever, ever saw it coming.

Disney Girl's friend did.

Disney Girl's friend did.

That is pretty funny isn't it. Got the location wrong but it turned out to be true...ish. I still prefer fern gully. Shorter and the benefit of a rapping lizard.

 

[NewfieFan]

I remember this thread and it's really funny to read now!

Who knew!?!

 

[Computer Magic]

Disney Girl's friend did.

Seems Disney Girl is the reall insider around these parts. :ROFLOL:

Maybe back in March, EPCOT was being tossed around?

 

[Treasure Island]

Not just March.... March of 2010!

I love this thought.....

Hey guys! I haven't posted in forever, so this may have already been discussed. But, I wanted to see if anyone knew anything about an Avatar/EPCOT connection.

A woman I work with knows one of the creative directors for EPCOT. She just told me there would be an Avatar attraction coming to the park, and it will be themed around nature/being green.

Please tell me this isn't true!!!

I've heard of this and yeah they are THINKING about it. They are possibly placing it in the Animal Kingdom which will bring a lot more business into that park since it doesn't get that much attention because of the park hours. But yes they are thinking about it.

Whoever started this rumor is an idiot.

WHAT!!!?!! That sounds great!! If only they would announce it officially so we can put our minds at ease.

:ROFLOL:

 

[Skipper Dan]

This is the greatest thread of all time! :ROFLOL:

It's interesting to think that EPCOT might have been in consideration. But seriously, if they really did know that far in advance, why not make all of this a D23 Expo announcement? Ugh, kills me. :fork:

 

[jdmdisney99]

:lookaroun Please let it not be so.....does not fit in anywhere in the Disney parks....maybe at Universal .....:lol:

LOL

 

[danlb_2000]

You guys didn't hear about this? They're re-doing Soarin' to be a flight on one of those flying creatures from Avatar! :animwink:

Not to far off.

 

[TubaGeek]

Not to far off.

OH MY GOD I'M A GENIUS!
Now then, I think Disney owes me some money...

Why would his makes sense when they've already broke ground at DAK?

I believe this is false information received to your friend, the person made a mistake when telling you.
