Avatar

I enjoyed the film Avatar when Jake and I went to see it at the cinema. It was definitely up there in the "blockbuster" category. Apparently we can expect a sequel or two in the coming years.

However, as per yesterday's announcement, we can also expect to see an Avatar land turning up in WDW (probably in about four years, given that construction is due to start in 2013 - sounds like they may be moving the workforce from Fantasyland over to this once it is finished).

Avatar-land is going to be at the Animal Kingdom - presumably in the currently vacant space in the bottom left hand corner of the park - not far from Camp Minnie Mickey.

I'm sure that once upon a time that space had been ear-marked (excuse the pun) for a Beastly Kingdom, or some sort of land themed around mythical creatures. The original logo for the Animal Kingdom featured a dragon in the silhouetted procession of animals along the bottom.

At this stage, for me the jury is out on whether Avatar and Disney can be a successful combination. I will await more news with interest.

(By the way, answers to maths problems postponed awaiting more entries - especially to the "why" part of the question!)
