Walt Disney World

Disney to Add AVATAR Attractions to Theme Parks

Did you ever wonder what it would be like form a lifelong telepathic bond with a flying creature only to ditch it for a bigger and more powerful flying creature?  Now you can!  Variety reports that Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Worldwide will create themed lands based on James Cameron’s Avatar.  The first theme land will be built at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom park in Orlando, Florida.  Cameron, Jon Landau and their Lightstorm Entertainment group will serve as creative consultants on the projects and will work with Disney’s “Imagineers” to oversee the design and development of the different theme lands.  I look forward to “Cramped Trailer with Giant Tanning Beds”-Land.

Construction on the theme lands is scheduled to begin in 2013.  As Cameron preps for two Avatar sequels (set for Christmas 2014 and 2015), Imagineers will use the entire trilogy to create the various theme lands.  No word yet if one of the parks will offer full-body painting or if the gift shops will sell sex ponytails.

Two weeks ago we reported Walt Disney World in Florida was going to be transforming their Epcot monorail train with Tron Legacy light cycle artwork.  We heard they’d be doing the switch over sometime this month.   And thanks to the DisneyParks Blog, the first video of the new monorail has hit the net and you can see what it looks like after the jump.

Gotta say, all this Tron Legacy stuff is looking awesome and I can’t wait to see what they’re planning to do at Disneyland here in California.  Fingers crossed for Flynn’s Arcade!

Disney Monorail Trains to Feature TRON LEGACY Light Cycles!

In an effort to raise awareness for Tron Legacy, Walt Disney World in Florida is going to be transforming their Epcot monorail line with Tron Legacy light cycle artwork.  On the Disney Parks Blog, the report says the transformed trains will be launched as early as this month.  Also, “if you look close, you’ll notice that the design of the futuristic motorcycle-like vehicles from the upcoming film Tron: Legacy also includes walls of trailing colored light.”

Hit the jump for another picture.  I cannot wait to see what other changes are going to happen at both parks before Tron Legacy comes out.  If you missed the amazing new Tron Legacy trailer, click here.
