Avatar: World of Pandora
How much did the Avatar section of Disney Land cost to create?
Disney's Animal Kingdom
In September 2011, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts announced plans to partner with filmmaker James Cameron, his Lightstorm Entertainment production company, and Fox Filmed Entertainment to develop attractions based on Cameron's "Avatar" film franchise exclusively for Disney theme parks. The first installation is planned for Disney's Animal Kingdom in the form of an "Avatar"-based section of the park. While no specifics were announced, the new area was described as being several acres in size and costing an estimated $400 million to build, a scale similar to Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park in California. Components from the upcoming second and third films in the "Avatar" series will be featured, along with new designs not seen in any of the films. Construction began on January 10, 2014.
