Avatar: The Experience will debut at Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay later this year.
This immersive walk-through event, based on the global blockbuster film Avatar is a uniquely designed collaboration between Cityneon Holdings, Disney Location-Based Experiences and James Cameron and Jon Landau’s Lightstorm Entertainment.
Cityneon is a global leader in immersive experiences that holds global partnerships with billion-dollar studios such as The Walt Disney Company and Marvel Entertainment.
Mr. Ron Tan, Cityneon’s Executive Chairman and Group CEO, said: “It’s an honour to present Avatar: The Experience with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board and Gardens by the Bay. We are excited to contribute to the inspiring creative culture of Singapore. The iconic Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay, one of Asia’s most popular horticultural attractions, becomes the perfect scenic location. We look forward to welcoming guests to this carefully-curated event.”
Lightstorm Entertainment’s President of Franchise Development Kathy Franklin said: “The opening of Avatar: The Experience in Singapore is a unique opportunity to continue expanding the global reach and impact of Avatar, the highest-grossing film of all time. As the first of our four Avatar sequels comes to theaters this December, this is the perfect time – and the perfect place – to explore and celebrate the wonders of Pandora in an all-new way.”
Set at Cloud Forest with its iconic vision of waterfalls, spiralling walkways and a unique architectural glass greenhouse, Avatar: The Experience invites guests to connect with the alien world of Pandora, its bioluminescent environments, mystical creatures, flora and the captivating culture of its indigenous people, the Na’vi.
Mr. Felix Loh, Chief Executive Officer of Gardens by the Bay, said: “Over the years, Gardens by the Bay has emerged as a foremost icon for Singapore. Many visitors associate the aesthetic of Gardens by the Bay with the stunning environments from the film AVATAR. Even more remarkable is the shared appreciation for the natural world that surrounds us. This collaborative opportunity serves as a one-of-a-kind event and adds to the significance of our 10th anniversary celebrations.”
Ms. Ashlynn Loo, Director, Attractions, Entertainment and Tourism Concept Development, said: “We are thrilled that Singapore will be the debut destination for Avatar: The Experience. As we prepare to welcome more visitors, such innovative and immersive experiences are a timely addition to our calendar of vibrant leisure events and reinforce our destination attractiveness. The experience also demonstrates the industry’s confidence in Singapore’s strong fundamentals as a leisure destination and is testament to our exemplary track record in delivering high-quality experiences.”
