Actually, there were Pandora's version of dragons, called the Mountain Banshee.

Environmental messages are part of what Animal Kingdom stands for. Kali River Rapids preaches the conservation of the rain forest and the environmental impact of our harvesting of resources. Conservation Station at Rafiki's Planet Watch illustrates the protection of animals. And so on, you can find these environmental messages throughout the park. No offense intended, but if you don't even visit AK as it is, how could you possibly know for a fact that Avatar does not fit in AK?
And I'm not sure how we've drawn conclusions that Iger was wrong, before it's open, before it's started construction, and even before the concept art phase. That is jumping to unnecessary and irrational conclusions. There is no way to prove that other than your own opinion.
I'm ashamed by the Yeti myself. It's been years since it was properly functioning which is pathetic. In addition, Dinosaur has had its fair share of issues as well in the past few rides. However, I do feel there is a lot to do there. I feel like what AK needs are a few indoor attractions (a couple dark rides perhaps) to offset the majority in outdoor attractions. Especially in the summer, the heat in that park is unbearable, so a couple more indoor locations to cool off, yet still "do" something of value would do the park wonders. (And I believe the Avatar E-ticket is indoors so it's a win-win)
