In a recent interview with Variety, James Cameron touches on the possibility of updating the Avatar: Flight of Passage attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom with new scenes from the upcoming sequel, ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’, which is coming to theaters on December 16th.
In the interview, James Cameron said he recently approached Iger after he had returned and mentioned that “When Bob Iger came back a couple of weeks ago, I did send him an email and say, ‘You know, we can do “Avatar 2” and 3 motifs and put them into the physical hardware of “Avatar Flight of Passage”. Iger seemed to like the idea according to Cameron, mentioning “He liked that idea. So nothing has been decided. But, you know, we would like to carry that along and update it from time to time with things that flow back out of the new movies.”
It would be interesting to see them add new scenes to the ride, perhaps even do something like Star Tours where they add random scenes to every ride aboard Flight of Passage. And with several more ‘Avatar’ sequels in the works, it would be the perfect opportunity to breathe new life into the attraction with updated scenes.
