Touché!Yeah, I don't think a ride based on the racially insensitive 'Song of the Song' will last more than a few years either.
Avatarland will surely fail before all 4 sequels are out.

True indeed. Maybe when it opens it will end being my favorite expansion.

Even if the attractions fail, which I don't think they will, Avatarland is not something you can just replace. It will be the 'beastly kingdom' area of the park likely for decades to come. Disney is betting that Avatar, the highest grossing movie ever - with one of the most successful directors of all time and 4 sequels coming, will continue to permeate pop culture making this land even more relevant.

I have seen a number of people around here who were very opposed to this in the beginning and who have started to come around as they have seen what is being built.

Welcome to the boards, I thought some snark was an appropriate welcome, some members can be tough. However, I believe that everyone's opinions are welcome here, well almost everyone's, just not the trolls.Touché!

That intrigues me. I almost feel like Disney is banking on Avatar more in comparison to Star Wars and that expansion. Granted, Star Wars pretty much has a hardcore fanbase that will love any and everything. Like, I mentioned this will be very interesting to see how it plays out in terms of appeal to the guests and how the movies pan out in the scheme of the battle of the box office that will be on going over the next 5-7 years. Either way Disney comes out on top. Not a bad thing for them at all.

Yeah, maybe I will convert at some point. Better never late than never.

Hey, thanks! Haha. I love a little snark with my coffee in the morning so I will fit in perfect. Yeah, I love a good debate as well. It's great hanging with other people who love talking Disney. Sometimes I get the "Oh, you're going to talk about Disney again?" look from those that aren't big fans like I am. I am pretty good at smacking down the trolls when they appear. Got troll fly swatter ready to go.

I don't see that at all. There isn't a Avatar fireworks show, or Avatar launch bay, or a Seasons of Avatar promotion.

I think you're missing the point, not everything is about brand recognition and popularity. It's about the type of experience you can create in a theme park environment.

I just think that James Cameron and Joe Rohde are working on this. So.....
It is going to be amazing. And being amazing or not will determine whether it turns out to be successful.

Not to sound argumentative, but I am not missing the point. To me fan and brand do go hand in hand for something to last. If the area doesn't get the pull that other parts of the park gets, it won't last. However, that can't be argued at the moment because its not open. I am sure it will do well and be well executed. What I am saying is that I don't see the attraction of it personally. But from this thread alone it does seem to have major excitement among Disney fans, so thats all that matters. What I like matters not in the scheme of things. I will still give it a go when I head to Disney next time and like I mentioned in previous posts, I may very well like and get it once I am there.

I love anything Joe touches, so I am sure it will come around in that regards.
He is brilliant. James also has a great imagination and does make wonderful films. I'm interested to see how this all comes together.

Well, he won't be answering because I am a she. Haha. And in regards to ignoring posts, I happen to be busy the past day. Can't always jump on but thanks for thinking you know what I am thinking.
In good fun, I did respond. You can check the last few posts.

For those reading here, I don't hate Avatar. I'm just not a big fan of it. I hope I meant no offense to anyone that does like Avatar and this expansion. Like I mentioned a few times, I certainly won't be skipping the expansion when it opens, it just isn't something I will be running to. I think it's awesome that others are getting more pumped for it and maybe that excitement will rub off on me. Please understanding that just because I don't quite get why Avatar was something Disney decide to do doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. I love hearing others opinions, thats why I am here. Maybe I will see the Avatar light!
FYI… if I don't answer right away to topics please understand I am not ignoring. I work three jobs, so it can be a bit much to answer back right away or jump on. I'm hustling to save some coins for the next vacation to Disney.
