Yeah, I would put money on this. I would even go further and say it will just be vague concept art for things that may or may not even get built.

They didn't say. My guess is Disneyland's Tomorrowland is going to get all the new Star Wars and Avatar rides that are also coming to DHS (SW) and AK (Avatar)

Neither of the Disneyland parks are getting anything Avatar-related. At least I pray not. MiceAge joked about Avatar coming to California and people were ready to start petitions and protest.

The name "Alice in Wonderland Land" was rejected by a little known group in imagineering called the "Department of Redundancy Department".

Al Lutz had said there was a plan to bring Avatar rides to California a year or two back. Also the official announcement clearly states attractions for multiple parks not just Animal Kingdom.
I actually heard about one proposal for the back area of DL's Tomorrowland that would basically be the west coast version of Avatarland.

I don't remember him saying that, and I HIGHLY doubt they'd attempt to bring Avatar to California, given the fans. I understand it says parks, but that doesn't mean one of them includes either of the Disneyland ones.

If the fans had any say Cars land and all that pixar crap would have never been built. Disney doesn't make multi-million dollar investments and deals based on fanboy whims.
haha especially us whacko disney message board fans...probably depends on the success at DAK

You can't compare Cars to Avatar, seriously. There may have been some fans that weren't really feeling Cars Land, but the thought of Avatar in either Disneyland park just doesn't settle well at all with the locals. Did you see this year's April Fools joke this year? Go and look at the comments.
I'm not saying Disney always listens to the DL fans, but the fans definitely have some sort of influence. There's a reason the new Disneyland president, Michael Colglazier showered DL fans with a free gift during his first public appearance. There have been no clues of Avatar going to California. If anything, in regards to another park that would be getting Avatar, it would most likely be Shanghai, and I bet it is. Disneyland? Nah.

I wonder how this will play out.
i agree i see avatar in shangai based on how popular the movie was in Asia.but again it based on how it does at DAK

There was HUGE backlash about Cars and Pixar in general prior to the DCA announcement. Only after the scale model was shown and assurance that they weren't going to be cheap about it did people slowly start settling down.
Clonning Avatar Land makes sense and like I said there is a proposal at imagineering to remove the subs/innoventions/autopia and replace that area with the whole Avatar complex coming to DAK complete with the E and C tickets and even have the Disneyland Railroad enter the show building at one point like on Splash Mountain.
