Will Disney water-down Avatar?

[Prototype82]

The only reason they have "blasters" at Star Tours is because they're obviously fictional and even then they don't have a huge presence.

Avatar however has a huge focus on the weapons and destruction caused by the humans. Disney will never allow realistic depictions of these types of arms.

I suspect there will be big robot suits here and there and plenty of natives with spears if anything at all.

Don't look for this in the gift shop...

I had my hopes up too...

Well considering it was all blue sky when they started, you would expect that they'd need to take a lot of time to plan something innovative and certainly a great deal of time to construct it.

Yeah, they need lots and lots of time to determine how they're going to "theme" yet another 3D movie "adventure."

"Wherever shall we put the fiber optic vines?"

:lol:

This thread had me ROFL before I even got past the title - the thought of watering down Avatar any further than it already was is humorous because if it were any more watered down it would simply wash away.

Just as a point of comparison...

WWoHP was announced May 31st 2007. It opened in February of 2010. Less then 3 years from announcement to opening.

Just as a point of comparison...

They only built one ride, two stores, and a restaurant.

To be honest, i hope they water down avatar so much that it's just water....

It's quite a bit more than that and you know it.

But if you want to look at it that way...just think of all the money they've made from those four little things.

Universal is a master at doing more with less.

Disney is the leader in making less cost more.

No, No, Kind of.

Universal built all of Potter for less than Disney spent on the Little Mermaid ride.

That's not doing more with less?

While also designing and creating an enormous amount of custom merchandise and the creation and engineering of endless animated themed pieces. Outside-of-attraction special effects would have taken a considerable amount of effort to design. Still happened at light speed.
