Disney reveals plans for huge Avatar theme park land – with new water raft ride

DISNEY has unveiled plans for a brand new Avatar-themed land set to open at Disneyland.

The park said the idea was one of the ways the parks were looking to "bring stories to life" with new immersive experiences.

A new concept image was released by CEO Bob Iger during The Walt Disney Company Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

In a recorded message, Bob explained how the California park's "imagineers" are working on bringing the land to life, although plans aren't set in stone quite yet.

He said: "You've heard me mention before our intention to bring Avatar to Disneyland and our imagineers have been hard at work dreaming up what guests might expect.

"And today, I'm today, I'm excited to give you a first look at the creative inspiration for this possible new destination."

The image is pretty non-committal in terms of features for the land, however it does show park-goers wandering through scenes from Pandora, the magical and colourful land from the Avatar movies.

What's more, others can be seen in the distance riding on what appears to be a water raft ride, others are depicted flying on potential attractions high above the ground.

The shared the picture and explained that this was just one of the ways in which they were looking to create new experiences for guests at the various Disney parks across the world.

They wrote: "Avatar is the latest example of how we are looking to create new and innovative ways to bring our powerful stories to life.

"Over the past decade, we’ve delivered massive, immersive experiences at our destinations around the world, including new lands and attractions based on Star Wars, the Avengers, Pixar and more."

It is by no means the only iron they have in the fire however, with Iger also discussing the possibility of other Disney favourites that could also pop up at the theme parks.
