New Hunger Games Trailer... what about a Hunger Games feature in a park?

Maybe it's more of a Universal franchise but, this thing is building a franchise that could last for a long long time. My Junior High aged niece has been reading these things since a year before the first movie.

I mean, if we have Avatar...... why not Hunger Games?

I don't see that happening. The whole "kids killing kids" is not something I believe Disney would dare touch. ((I've read the books and seen the films, and I realize that is not the point/theme of the underlying story.))

FWIW, many Disney films have as disturbing of features of that level. This quote always comes to mind:

“Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil.” -Walt Disney

Granted, you are probably correct in your assumption. I totally think it would work in a Universal park or more older kid focused park.
