When James Cameron’s sci-fi epic Avatar opened eight years ago, the experience of the film was the biggest selling point – Cameron hadn’t just created another world, he put the audience in it. We didn’t just watch the Na’Vi fly across the screen on their winged banshees, we flew with them over the vistas of the tropical planet of Pandora.
On May 27, Disney hopes to amplify that immersion with its most technically ambitious land to date: Pandora – the World of Avatar, situated in Animal Kingdom in the Orlando resort of Walt Disney World.
