TODAY'S TWEETS

- 11:07 Disney to build AVATAR land at Animal Kingdom Park t.co/h2h9XmGc #in #
- 11:19 @screamscape @theseasonpass MIght have to dig up that old ABYSS concept I wrote back in 1995 or so... #
- 11:28 @thegrunter agreed, actually. It makes perfect business sense too. #
- 11:38 @FunkyHenryGale (psst: Beastly Kingdom) #
- 11:43 LOL “@chicagowench: Entrance to feature spray-tan archway loaded with blue body paint.”#avatar #disney #animalkingdom #
- 11:48 @Kevidently Me too. The fanboy ire on this one is comical. #
- 12:10 @HrznsRsrrctd Respectfully disagreed. Like the movie or not, it was LITERALLY about mind-melding with animals & nature. #
- 12:10 @HrznsRsrrctd Thematically, it's a newer, brand-ier reboot of the old Beastly Kingdom concept. #
- 12:14 @HrznsRsrrctd Neither was Beastly Kingdom. :) #
- 12:15 @HrznsRsrrctd C'mon, the whole thing was a metaphor (albeit ham-handed) for living peacefully with our planet & its creatures. #
- 12:16 @HrznsRsrrctd ...which, to me, is the emotional cornerstone of Animal Kingdom. So I think it fits. #
- 12:20 @HrznsRsrrctd But MATRIX wouldn't fit in Animal Kingdom at all ;) I kid. #
- 12:21 @theseasonpass LOL but they already have enough new gated parks that people complain about not having enough! #
- 12:23 @Cybergosh Beastly Kingdom was a great concept -- but unicorns & dragons? I'll go to Potter for that now. #
- 12:26 @WedwayRadio Earth is is Space too LOL -- I get your point, but the REAL story of AVATAR wasn't "space travel". And AK also has Time Travel. #
- 12:27 @WedwayRadio The first five minutes, then the rest is Blueahontas. Very newagey-touchey-feely with lots of creatures and glowy jungles. #
- 12:28 @HrznsRsrrctd Also: WATERWORLD. One of the best shows in any theme park, and worst movies ever. #
- 12:29 @Kevidently There's ONE shot of the ship leaving earth. Everything else is paramilitary-style on the planet, not spacecraft. #
- 12:29 @WedwayRadio The cremation scene wasn't in space. It was intercut with scenes of Sulley in hyperspace. #
- 12:30 @Kevidently @wedwayradio @ncitro Same here. Avatar was spectacle, nothing more. Could never compare to Bradbury. #
- 12:31 @Kevidently @wedwayradio @ncitro BUT... theme parks work great as spectacle, if done well. #
- 12:31 @WedwayRadio Jake Sulley. And wait the OTHER Sullley is blue, too! #AvatarMonstersIncCrossover #
- 12:35 @Kevidently And I would argue that, especially at AK, theme and context is more important than linear story. Story is context is experience. #
- 12:37 @WedwayRadio @kevidently C'mon, that's EVERY ride or attraction. They're ALL retelling stories, not creating new ones. #
- 12:40 Nike Mag Back to the Future Shoe Auction Raised $5.7 Million For Parkinson's Disease Research t.co/U3TW9bjp #in #fb #
- 12:50 Last day to vote for me to be the face of @aboutdotme on a billboard in Times Square! t.co/J8hRanym #in #
- 17:05 Heading to Orlando tomorrow to speak at @TEA_SATE Experience Design conference (and it's completely sold out!) t.co/RIBnOt35 #SATE11 #
