AM2.jobs James Cameron spills beans on Avatar world
Director James Cameron has revealed new details on the forthcoming Avatar theme park, set to open during 2017 at Disney World Florida’s Animal Kingdom. At a recent fan Q&A session, Cameron
revealed the attraction would be known as Pandora: The Land of Avatar and would include a number of sites unique to the Avatar world, including the movie fran- chise’s famous floating mountains. “I’ve seen the model, and the design
work the Imagineering people have done is spectacular,” said Cameron. “They’ve got a quarter inch to the foot scale model of the whole park and I’ve looked at all the sight lines. It’s not a park, it’s a land within the park but a land is not just a ride. “There will be several rides and a number of other attractions. It’s really just a place you’re gonna wanna go and hang out. It’s going to be gorgeous. Of course it’s going to be gorgeous at night and they’re using every new trick, every new bit of technology that they’ve created,” the film pioneer added.
James Cameron has worked with Disney’s Imagineering team on the new Avatar world Pandora: The Land of Avatar is expected
to span several acres and will feature multiple rides and attractions, entertain- ment, audio-animatronics, 3-D holograms
as well as retail, food and beverage outlets. Cameron also confirmed a flying attraction featuring “3-D projections” is in the works. More:

UNESCO will establish an observatory in Lebanon to monitor Syria’s buildings, artefacts and intangible cultural heritage to combat illicit trafficking of items of historical significance from the war-torn region. The move is also designed to collect the information required to restore the country’s heritage once fighting in the region settles down. Based in Beirut, the
observatory will maintain an online platform where people can share informa- tion on damaged struc- tures, looted artefacts and all forms of endangered heritage in Syria.
