Regarding the violence in "Avatar," I agree it's irrelevant in this instance. It's safe to say that won't be what Disney chooses to highlight, much like how Star Tours focuses on the world of layman...

I'm just not sure I follow the logic here. Just about everything in the theme parks came from an outside source at some point, even the properties we now consider "classic" Disney. Walt Disney...

I think you're giving the Fantasyland expansion way more credit than it deserves, especially if you see it as any sort of response to the progress at the theme parks down Interstate 4. The...

My 18 year-old brother sent me a text message the day of the announcement with unbridled excitement. There is a market for this, and it's not necessarily the demographic that posts on Disney forums,...

Clearly, in the minds of the head honchos, no. Somebody in the Disney corporation believes that "Avatar" is a lasting franchise.

And if the Oriental Land Company ever had a stake in the Florida parks, or all the rumors about Disney putting its domestic theme park holdings up for sale are true, I suspect we'd see that caliber...

As hardcore Disney fans, I think there are times when we all need to step back and try to view these things from the perspective of the general population. I think this thread shows a huge disconnect...

I agree with everything in this portion of yoir post. Pandora will be judged on the quality of the environment and its attractions, not the movie tie-in.

You're not nitpicking. Anyway, as I pointed out in an earlier post, Michael Eisner said "imaginary" animals would be a part of the park during his opening-day dedication speech.

There are so many problems with the logic of this statement. Disney has a staunch record of conservation, and it's absurd to criticize the company for expanding their zoological park. Like everything...

I agree with just about everything in this post. If "Avatar" went to Universal, there would be a mass revolt. It also would essentially solidify Universal's place as the premiere theme-park...

OK, maybe there was some hyperbole in my original post. It was out of frustration, really. I am tired of Disney fans who complain about literally every single thing the company does. The criticism...

Sorry Jeff, but I think it's silly to bring politics into this discussion. Disney doesn't care about politics -- it cares about money. "Avatar" will make the company lots of it. There is absolutely...

We wish. Disney fans are all bemoaning the end of the parks. Everybody else in the world is salivating at the opportunity to visit Pandora.

Really? "Avatar" with more global reach than "Harry Potter?" I wouldn't have guessed that, but I will defer to your judgment here. That just solidifies my opinion that this was a total no-brainer on...

If somehow Disney could pay Universal a zillion dollars and move the entire Wizarding World of Harry Potter from Islands of Adventure to the Magic Kingdom, would you boycott that, too? As long as...

Remember, there was a dragon in the original Animal Kingdom logo for a reason. Giant blue aliens are as "real" as the yeti in Expedition Everest.

Soarin'? It's a wonderful attraction, but it does not even bother with story -- every Disney fan's favorite buzzword.

"Avatar" fits just fine in Animal Kingdom. The park was designed with...

My goodness. Almost not a single positive post in this entire thread so far?

These criticisms are completely absurd. Yes, Disney is using another company's property. And? I assume you also never...
