Anticipation builds for Avatarland
Two years after announcing the film, Avatar, will be brought to life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Lightstorm Entertainment, the creators of the film and Walt Disney Imagineering are working on new ways of taking immersive environments and interactivity to the next level.
Slated to open in 2017, guests will be able to wander through the land of floating mountains, enter the bioluminescent rainforests and fly across Pandora on the wings of creatures.
Walt Disney Imagineering’s lead designer, Joe Rohde, promises the attraction will have the lyrical beauty of the film and that it will be a “transformational experience that you will remember for the rest of your life.”
“A world this imaginative is impossible to do unless you think up new technology, new art, new styles and new materials,” he says. “This is a tremendous tour de force of Walt Disney Imagineering.”
