James Cameron To Build Avatar Park At Disneyland

Disney and James Cameron are teaming up to transform a corner of the Magic Kingdom into a theme park based on Cameron's multi-billion dollar grossing sci-fi 3D cinema-clogger, Avatar.

“Would you like Home Tree Fries™ with that?”

In an ironic riff on a film that spoke at length (I mean, two pee breaks later, and it still wasn’t finished) about the ceaseless pillage of resources to the detriment of all, Disney and James Cameron are teaming up to transform a corner of the Magic Kingdom into a theme park based on Cameron’s multi-billion dollar grossing sci-fi 3D cinema-clogger, Avatar.

The project is still very much in its planning stages, and rumours are rife regarding the ultimate shape of the park to come – though it’s thought the Avatar experience will reside in the Animal Kingdom part of the park.

However they end up configuring it, I’m willing to stake all the unobtainium (really?) in my vault at Gringotts that minimum-wage Disney employees smothered in blue body paint will feature heavily, as well as an upgrade from 3D extravaganza to 4D, given the time you will need to spend in the queue to get into Disney’s take on Pandora.
