Disney to build Avatar theme park

Expect lots of blue-painted people around the Disney World area soon. The Walt Disney Company has signed a deal to build an amusement park based on James Cameron's zillion-dollar epic, Avatar. Just in case you thought that the lush, fantasy planet of Pandora couldn't get any more 3-D. Construction is set to begin in 2013. (For those keeping score at home, that's a year before the first of Avatar's two sequels is released.)
Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time, but does that distinction make it worthy of a theme park? I mean, Titanic never got even got a boat ride made after it. Surely there are lots of other films in need of an immersive, sensory experience.

The Shining. Talk about a haunted house!
Eraserhead.
Actually, the Titanic does have [quite a few] rides modeled after it... http://www.likecool.com/Home/Outdoor/Titanic%20Slide/Titanic-Slide.jpg
"Fantasy planet"? This will still be more factually accurate than the creationist museum in Kentucky.
no different than a creationists theme park.
Very different: The Avatar theme park is not being sold as a true event.
Not if China does it first.
If you go to the Chinese version of the official Fleshlight homepage (yeah yeah, what of it), you can check out a banner ad for an "Avatar"-themed Fleshlight, which actually exists because Chinese people will apparently buy such a thing. This place freaks me out a little sometimes.
Uhhh, they also have that on the English site as well. And that was REALLY old news.
Could you write about Physics so I can pass Sceicne class?
