Avatar main attraction rumored to be 3-D..360 Degrees

Now that Cameron has confirmed and signed off on the new Avatar area for Disney's Animal Kingdom, more information continues to "leak" out from the creative minds at the Mouse.

The latest rumors are the main attraction for the Avatar area will indeed be, as we posted earlier this month, a 3-D based flight simulator. The great news is the rumored attraction will be not only high Def 3-D but most likely with a 360 degree view. Now remember this looks to be a massive attraction if they stick with the leaked blueprints which call for FOUR theaters of the design type shown below.

SeaWorld has already used this technology in their Turtle Trek attraction which is simply astounding, the ocean creatures appear in front, behind and above you creating a truly unique experience.

Disney will of course be stepping their game up in the use of this technology and are rumored to be going with SimTech for the ride design system.  The photos that are shown below show just what a great experience this attraction should be. The ride base system shown in the photos will allow for extreme movements and offer a new experience for Disney property.

The last two photos below show a great park known as the Singapore Gardens by the Bay.  Disney is rumored to have made a few trips in the past month to this location.  I can definitely see Disney using a similar ideal to create the deep forest areas of Pandora.

Once again, as always, these are simply rumors at this stage and as with any project details are subject to change.
