Avatar coming to DCA

[Freak]

An OC Register article recently revealed the debut time line for Avatar:

"" Walt Disney Imagineering remains in the early stages of development on the Avatar project which is not expected to debut until 2028 or 2029."

Disneyland to keep Monsters Inc. dark ride open until 2027

Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue will remain open as work begins in early 2026 on the new Avatar themed land.

100% it’s not opening in 2028 with Monsters’ closing date pushed but 2029 sounds crazy optimistic. Would love to see it if that’s the case though!

I could see 2029 if the land is just a queue for the ride. It doesn't seem like they're doing anything with the monorail, so I assume the land's boundaries are constrained.

I'd really like them to reconsider the placement of Avatar and just put Monstropolis back here instead. This will also continue the Disneyland Resort's winning (and funny) streak of getting everything that Hollywood Studios gets.

Funny enough I read some off the wall rumor on Facebook that they cancelled Avatar land in wake of the new movie underperforming. I don’t buy it but if they replace it with the Monsters Inc coaster I wouldn’t be mad

I know these movies cost a truckload but it's just bonkers to me that we live in a time where it's on the board to consider a movie making $1.5 billion worldwide underperforming.
