Disney has unveiled a first-look preview of James Cameron's Avatar at its Florida theme park.
Pandora: The Land of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom will open in 2017 to coincide with the release of Cameron's Avatar sequel.
Attractions confirmed for The Land of Avatar include a Banshee flight simulator and a boat ride through the mystical Pandora.
Cameron can be seen in Disney's newly-released promotional video personally examining elements of The Land of Avatar, from wildlife to interactive displays.
Disney Imagineering chief Bruce Vaughn described Pandora: The Land of Avatar in a blog accompanying the promo as "one of the most dynamic and collaborative" attractions in the history of Disney parks.
Ground was broken for the construction of Pandora: The Land of Avatar in January 2014, three years after Disney signed an exclusive contract with the director.
