Overview
- Multiple outlets citing The Wrap report that Disney is rethinking the planned Avatar land at Disney California Adventure, with a Zootopia land now viewed by insiders as the front-runner.
- Disney has not announced any change to the project, and the reports describe internal discussions rather than a formal decision.
- The planned closure of Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! was pushed to 2027, a shift outlets say signals delayed or revised construction plans for the site.
- Operations sources quoted in The Wrap say a Zootopia attraction could reuse the trackless ride system from Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, while the proposed Avatar boat ride would require dedicated water-treatment infrastructure.
- Coverage notes Zootopia 2 outgrossed Avatar: Fire and Ash by roughly $400 million worldwide, and reports suggest the Avatar attraction concept could be relocated to Animal Kingdom or to future parks in Shanghai or Tokyo as those projects advance.
