Recently, The Forbidden Mountain has received thousands of
emails asking my opinion on the recent announcement that Avatar
will be coming to Animal Kingdom.  And I'd like to tell you how
I feel.  But I can't, because this is a family show.  However, I
will say that Disney doesn't make these decisions lightly.  Much
thought goes into a major park expansion like this, and the
planning is much, much more complicated than simply asking "What
movie will bring us the most money?" and "Whose turn is it to
get a new ride?"  Since Disney attractions must of course be
based on an already existent franchise, the question of "which
one?" is a very delicate one.  Which is why the very first time
an entire land at Walt Disney World is going to be based on just
one movie (it's true!), it's a movie distributed by 20th Century
Fox.  .
