Disneyland has moved on, so should you....
My goodness, ain't that the truth. Seeing the horrific maintenance, the mediocre Cast Members, the horrific merchandise- and the complete disregard Disney has for "Disneyland" as an entity, instead choosing to utilize the property as a place to market their latest films and acquisitions, I've certainly become disillusioned about Disneyland and it's future.
After Pressler and Harris, Ouimet was able to bring the park back to something that resembled it's pre '95 quality- albeit with a few missing attractions and landmarks. Seeing current managements desire to cash in on the Disney craze at the expense of the park's long term image and old time fans, I have a feeling that Disneyland's worldwide allure will start to decline in the next few decades.

We'll see how you look at 65 and beyond and then talk about your allure being in decline....

Yes to the Flight of Passage ride system, but theme it to Tron. Start the ride on a light cycle and end it by flying on a light jet.

There’s something fundamentally missing here...
...it’s any understanding of why and where they put in avatar in the first place

In my mind they abandoned that way of thinking when they put SWGE in Disneyland.

That’s not what I mean...I’m not talking about “Walt’s vision”....
I mean animal kingdom was a stagnant, low attended park based on the incredible amount of overhead it takes to run it. And the Harry Potter move.
Pandora was brought it to make DAK more of a unique draw. It never was or will be for Disneyland
The same reason cars isn’t on the mgm backlot now

The only “why” that matters now is it’ll bring in money, hence why we have Galaxy’s Edge, Guardians, and Marvel. Money is the only reason that matters.
OK, I was thinking more thematically. But yes, in that regard, the 2 situations are as far removed as you can get.

I get that...but it’s not avatar. WDW had and still has an overflow problem...avatar was a safe bet there and fit an immediate need.

Need doesn’t matter. If they wanted to put Avatar in Disneyland, they will make up a ridiculous and stupid reason to do so.

Again...you need to come up with the stupid reason?
Putting avatar in Disneyland is counter productive
You do realize they can build a marvel land there, correct??

At least the ride vehicle looks like a light cycle. I can't see how that thing is suppose to be a dragon. Also why am I following myself on screen?

Where's the "NO AVATAR" option? I'm sorry, but Avatar is boring. Pandora is boring. The characters of Pandora are so boring no one remembers their names. Instead, build the Land of the Dead from Coco--That would be a thousand times more interesting (and it should go into DCA).
(Edit) Okay, so I voted "Third Park," but in my case "Third Park" means "Flaming Dumpster."

Again, it doesn’t matter if it’s counter productive or not.
