During the D23 Destination D: Amazing Adventures event in November at Walt Disney World Resort, director James Cameron will reveal new details about an Avatar theme park set to launch in 2017.
Taking place at Disney’s Contemporary Resort on November 19 and 20, Cameron, producer Jon Landau and Disney imagineer Joe Rohde will discuss the 12-acre immersive theme park Pandora: The World of Avatar (via io9). The park will open at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida at some point in 2017. The D23 Destination D: Amazing Adventures event is open only to D23 Fan Club members and will also feature an exclusive look at Walt Disney Animation Studios’ latest movie, Mona.
