Disneyland is ready to move forward with plans for an Avatar themed land teased for the Anaheim theme park resort based on the $5 billion action adventure fantasy science fiction movie franchise.
The new themed land will be built at Disney California Adventure, Disney Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro announced on Saturday, Aug. 10 during the D23 fan event at the Honda Center in Anaheim.
Concept art of the proposed Avatar themed land shows jutting rocks and floating mountains amid gushing geysers and alien flora. A boat filled with riders passes through an aqua-green lagoon heading toward a cascading waterfall.
