I gotta say though, even being the largest park/only one with lots of open space, Avatar makes no sense in the Animal Kingdom.

Sure there are sequels coming out but, considering it was the most successful movie of all time, it really doesn\’t seem to have seeped into the public consciousness as much as you\’d expect.

I don\’t have kids so I could be totally off base. Maybe every kid on the planet has an Avatar lunch box.

Avatar-the T-shirt, Avatar-the Colouring Book, Avatar-the Lunch box, Avatar-the Breakfast Cereal, Avatar-the Flame Thrower. And last but not least, Avatar the dolls.
