News Avatar Experience coming to Disneyland Resort

[MarvelCharacterNerd]

I really don't care for Avatar and would love some Doctor Who instead.

Same.

• WDW only has one (1) boat on its large Rivers of America complex, but desperately needs additional ride capacity in Magic Kingdom.

Correct, it does have a transport to Tom Sawyer Island but that’s a small thing.

ITM is not a, how shall I put it... a *stable* source.

Links to there are not allowed here because of their off-the-wall, unsourced rumors; and plagiarism of a parody site that it tries to pass off as real with only the tiniest wink that it's not real -- all done out of spite because they're angry at something Disney did. It's just gross clickbaiting.

ITM is an absolutely horrid site that should be scrubbed from the internet forever. Clickbait 'articles' written in the most offensive manner I've ever seen. I started getting some of them in my feed a long while back... and clicked on them out of curiosity... and that lasted about 3 times until I did everything I could to block that site from popping up for me everywhere I can.

"Disney releasing follow up to X".... "a bunch of senseless AI written crap"... "A Disney CM drew this picture of an idea they had for a X story and put it on their personal tiktok"

And yet...

• Neither WDW or Disneyland has a night parade in any park, and there is only one (1) day parade on offer in both resorts. And no new parade, day or night, has been announced as under development for either coast.
• Neither WDW or Disneyland has a new ride under construction in any park, but both resorts desperately need ride capacity.
• WDW only has one (1) boat on its large Rivers of America complex, but desperately needs additional ride capacity in Magic Kingdom.
• WDW cancelled its announced Hyperion-esque large theater complex project for Main Street USA.
• While the Hyperion Theater at DCA is sitting dark indefinitely, with no known show in development for it.

No one implied they spend how fans want them to. DVC towers instead of parades and shows. Cruise ships instead of boats on the ROA

Forget Avatar. They need to add a Doctor Who Land, now that it's on Disney+. Imagine the possibilities...

World Showcase England Pavilion. Entrance is the Tardis.

Just change the red call boxes/phone booths (if they still have them) to the TARDIS.

That makes me hopeful that DLR's avatar "experience" will be a full blown land. I also think it's not a coincidence that this came out after that council meeting for DL Forward. Now there is the matter of where it will go. Micechat claims Avatar will replace Hollywoodland at DCA. But the concept art for Disneyland Forward shows something that could resemble an avatar land in the Simba lot AKA DCA's DL Forward plot.

Anything that replaces Hollywoodland needs DL forward as they need to reroute that monorail beam. In your opinion, if Avatar is indeed going to DCA, where would Disney be more likely to put it? Hollywoodland or the Simba lot?

Agreed. I know insiders here have mentioned it being more of a walk-through or meet and greet, but the level of attention this is getting this early out just doesn't seem to be fit for something that small. It's odd.

I agree. I guess because I am fortunate enough to travel I like both coast have different exclusive rides/lands.

Bob just mentioned this on the Morgan Stanley call.

"We have an Avatar land in Florida, and we are bringing one to Disneyland".

Really sounds like we are getting the full land, or something like it.

I think he wasn't being clear as to what the "one" was a "one" of.

I could do without it, and I like Avatar just fine. Why do we need a full land when a singular attraction in Tomorrowland would be sufficient? Galaxy's Edge was a mistake, and this will be too.

I think he wasn't being clear as to what the "one" was a "one" of.

I think the implication is they have one land, Pandora in Walt Disney World and they are bringing that to California. He didn’t say that directly but that’s what I got out of it.

Side Note: Pandora is incredible, can WDW get a way of water expansion?

 

[MisterPenguin]

Bob may be counting on the land expansion going through in Anaheim.

damn, i kinda like how avatarland is exclusive to AK in the states.....I love Avatar land but really like parks having different options....though also everything else in AK is unique to that park, kinda like California Adventure so its not too bad.But CA already has Soarin so a Soarin 2.0 is....I much rather they built out a proper Navi River Journey using Shanghais PotC ride system and also giving CA another huge water based attraction (they are my fave)
