While the 3D experience may have been immersive, fans will soon have the opportunity to actually visit Avatar‘s fictional world of Pandora, with the opening of Avatar-themed interactive exhibits at Walt Disney theme parks, reports Coming Soon.
The first exhibit will open at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom Park in Florida, with construction scheduled to begin in 2013. Other Disney parks will soon follow.
"’Avatar’ created a world which audiences can discover again and again and now, through this incredible partnership with Disney, we’ll be able to bring Pandora to life like never before," said writer-director James Cameron, who will be heavily involved in the creation of the exhibits.
"With two new ‘Avatar’ films currently in development, we’ll have even more locations, characters and stories to explore. I’m chomping at the bit to start work with Disney’s legendary ‘Imagineers’ to bring our ‘Avatar’ universe to life. Our goal is to go beyond current boundaries of technical innovation and experiential storytelling, and give park goers the chance to see, hear, and touch the world of ‘Avatar’ with an unprecedented sense of reality."
