Imagineering vice president of project management Jim Kearns tells San Diego News that Animal Kingdom is his next assignment

UT San Diego News recently ran an article with Jim Kearns, vice president of project management for Walt Disney Imagineering, where he talked about completing the massively popular Cars Land at Disney California Adventure.  It's an interesting read for Disneyland visitors, but there is also something notable for Walt Disney World fans in the final sentence.

"He said his next assignment will take him to Disney’s Animal Kingdom zoo at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla."

This obviously leads to the question, is this assignment perhaps for ground-breaking AVATAR?
