Disney CEO Bob Iger reaffirms AVATAR land coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom in 2015

Mar 13, 2012

At today's Walt Disney Company shareholders meeting in Kansas, Disney CEO Bob Iger reaffirmed that AVATAR land will be coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom, and should open in 2015. There has been some recent speculation around the Internet that the AVATAR land project may be struggling to get off the ground. This news would certainly seem to contradict that notion.

Put this one solidly in the "RUMOR" department. Excerpted from NY Times...

Competition with Universal, for instance, factored into Disney’s decision to beef up a previously planned expansion to its Magic Kingdom park in Orlando and spend an estimated $500 million on an “Avatar”-themed addition to its nearby Animal Kingdom park. The $425 million Magic Kingdom expansion opens in phases starting this year. “Avatar” construction is set to begin next year and open in 2015. Design details are secret, but James Cameron, who directed “Avatar” and is working on two sequels, has said part of the project will include a ride that simulates flight.

Disney declined to comment for this article.
