Boo they moved my thread.Yes I'm starting another Avatar thread and I will be criticized but I don't care.
There's a thought that comes up in every single Avatar thread and ends up monopolizing the conversation that needs to be explicitly shot down because it is totally false. Avatar IS coming to Disney parks, with construction starting at Disney's Animal Kingdom around 2013. Not "maybe" coming. Not "discussions about coming". IS. This is NOT the same as Hyperion Wharf. The key difference is that Hyperion didn't cost Disney a whole heap of money to license so cancelling it didn't cause any major problems. Disney paid James Cameron and Lightstorm Entertainment a truck load of cash to make this happen, and they're NOT going to back out.
To be sure, once they announce specific plans and attractions for Avatar Land, those plans are likely to change as the process rolls along (similar to Pixie Hollow being cancelled... Fantasyland Expansion was happening no matter what but specific plans were subject to change). But the conversation about whether Avatar is coming at all is misguided. Avatar is coming. Get over it.
(Yes, some catastrophic event COULD happen that causes it to be cancelled but my main point is that they're way beyond the "Iger changed his mind" phase.)
Dang moderators.
