Disney and James Cameron are still essay to convince the world that Avatar remain a thing . And who knows , they might be proper … eventually . Seven years after the film debuted , and right in the thick of four planned sequels , the Mouse has break that Pandora – The World of Avatar is opening in summer 2017 at Disney ’s Animal Kingdom .
Pandora has been in the industrial plant for over five yr now . It in reality took three year for building to even set out , and by then the 3D phenomenon that was Avatar was almost a aloof storage . Since then , Disney ’s seen monolithic success thanks to its acquisitions of Marvel and Star Wars , so the Avatar theme parking lot seems kind of lost in the shamble . Plus , Disney does n’t even own the Avatar enfranchisement , name the whole relationship extra eldritch .
Cameron seems to be set a mickle of bets on the success of the Avatar sequels , which begin filming too soon next twelvemonth . All four sequel will be filmed at the same time , with a focussing on Jake , Neytiri , and their kids . Unfortunately , the first one is n’t due to be released until Christmas 2018 at the earliest , which means there will be 18 calendar month between the commons ’s opening and any new cinematic addition to the enfranchisement .
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Bob Chapekannouncedthe park opening appointment at D23 ’s Destination D , where he also apportion newfangled concept art and commons details for Pandora . The main restaurant is call Satu’li Canteen , with a direction on Na’vi art and ethnical items , and there ’s also a “ special drink emplacement ” ( whatever the hell that means ) called Pongu Pongu .
