Cityneon Holdings, a global experience entertainment company, has announced that Avatar: The Experience will open to the public on 28 October 2022, at Cloud Forest, Gardens by the Bay, Singapore. The new walkthrough attraction is the result of a collaboration between Cityneon Holdings, Disney Location-Based Experiences, and James Cameron and Jon Landau’s Lightstorm Entertainment, and takes inspiration from Avatar, the world’s highest-grossing film of all time.

Visitors have the opportunity to travel through the alien world of Pandora, complete with bioluminescent environments and mystical creatures and flora.

Pandora comes to the Cloud Forest

Set inside the unique Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay, the attraction includes five different zones and a range of interactives, such as the debut of a life-size, highly realistic animatronic banshee which roars authentically and reacts to its environment in real-time. There is also a baby banshee, which is handled by expert puppeteer docents, allowing for memorable photo opportunities.

Guests also get a sneak peek at an artistic sculpted representation of an Ilu, the new marine creature that features in the upcoming film Avatar: The Way of Water.

Ron Tan, executive chairman & group CEO of Cityneon Holdings, says: “We are immensely honored to present Avatar: The Experience, at our very own Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. This was a global effort with all collaborators having worked diligently to transform this iconic garden location into a memorable experience. We look forward to welcoming you!”

A memorable experience

The debut location for Avatar: The Experience is fitting. Gardens by the Bay has celebrated more than ten years of innovation and welcomed over 85 million visitors during that time, who have enjoyed its impressive horticulture and found moments of connection with nature. Now, visitors will be able to feel inspired by and connected to the wonders of Pandora.

Felix Loh, chief executive officer of Gardens by the Bay, says: “We are thrilled that Avatar: The Experience is coming to the people of Singapore. Over the past month, our horticulturists have collaborated closely with all teams to infuse our Cloud Forest with the world of Pandora. We hope visitors are as excited as we are to be a part of this extraordinary event.”

Avatar: The Experience will take place in Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay from 28 October 2022 to 31 March 2023.

Earlier this year, Cityneon celebrated the fact that its immersive Machu Picchu and the Spirit of the Condor VR film won a Lumiere Award.
