Pandora World of Avatar has been one of the most popular lands in Walt Disney World ever since it first opened at Disney's Animal Kingdom, with Flight of Passage, in particular, becoming one of the most popular rides in any of the theme parks.

With the release of Avatar 2 fast approaching, it is starting to be time to ask what the future of Pandora World of Avatar will be and if an expansion could be in the future.

It is almost certain that Walt Disney World will do something to celebrate the release of Avatar 2 within the theme park land. Disney loves promoting their new films in the parks whenever possible. This could be something as small as some special food options and decorations, or something more major, such as a new show, or updates to the rides. Without knowing much about the film it is difficult to know what specifically this could be.

But assuming the film is a success, what will this mean for the future of the land?

Pandora World of Avatar was built with multiple expansion pads to potentially be utilized at some point in the future of varying sizes. Some of these are big enough to hold entire additional attractions, while others are smaller and could only hold something the size of a shop or restaurant.

As the sequel to Avatar is set to explore new locals within the world of Pandora, and these new attractions could explore these new locales. What happens to the land depends almost entirely on how Avatar does. This franchise has not been at the box office in any capacity in over a decade, and if its a hit, theres a decent chance the land expands.

There is also another potential expansion of Pandora World of Avatar, and that is the potential for another version of the land to be built in the world. Very few modern Disney rides are built without a clone being built somewhere in the world. If Avatar 2 is a big success, it could cause Disney to build a new Pandora somewhere in the world.

Where could this be built? Rumors were at one point Shanghai Disneyland considered building a Pandora, so this could be revisited. A version of Pandora World of Avatar was also included in plans for the proposed Disneyland Forward plan, so more concrete plans could easily be announced to bring Pandora to Disneyland.

Avatar 2 is almost certain to change Pandora World of Avatar in some way. Exactly how we will just have to wait and see.
