The new themed land will be tied to a trio of sequels continuing the story set forth in the highest-grossing film of all time. James Cameron, who directed, wrote and produced the original science fiction epic, promises Avatar Land will let visitors “live, eat, breathe and smell Pandora.”

The LA Times are reporting some new information about the attractions housed inside the new land:

  • E-Ticket banshee flight simulator similar to Soarin’ at Epcot and Soarin’ Over California at Disney California Adventure.
  • D-Ticket indoor boat ride similar to Pirates of the Caribbean will take riders on a river journey through the illuminated forest of Pandora.
  • A new nighttime spectacular featuring music, performers and water screen projections will take place on Discovery River, similar to World of Color at Disney California Adventure.
  • By day, Avatar Land will be populated by lush jungle foliage, floating mountains and the ruins of a military base camp sprinkled with audio-animatronics, 3-D projections and hologram effects.
