Disney unveils ‘Avatar theme park’
 
Disney has unveiled the first-look concept art for an incredible ‘Avatar’ attraction to be built at its Animal Kingdom theme park in Orlando, Florida.

Created in partnership with ‘Avatar’ filmmaker James Cameron, Disney is planning a mammoth recreation of Na’vi home world Pandora as an immersive walk-through park.

Walt Disney Parks chairman Tom Staggs called it “an experience unlike any other ever created.”

“Guests will encounter awe-inspiring floating mountains and wander through a nighttime jungle of bio-luminescent plants that are alive with light and sound.”

The Disney boss also offered some clues as to what rides might be featured at the park, saying: “Guests will also discover what it feels like to soar into the sky riding a Banshee.”

I wonder if you'll need to spend Ł3000 for 3D glasses just to be able to see anything.
