The construction of a new Disneyland in Shanghai is finally placed on the agenda. The theme park will be built in Chuansha in Pudong District. It is said that the residents there have already seen the planning chart of the park.
The place to build a Disneyland must meet the requirement of realization of fairy tales, which means that there must neither be tall buildings around it, nor airplanes to fly in the sky to remind the visitors of the hustle and bustle of a metropolis. Compared with Hong Kong, which has got a Disneyland already, obviously Pudong District is a better place to realize such a beautiful dream.
Now the new Disneyland in Shanghai is scheduled to be opened to the public in 2010, the year in which the city will host a world expo.
Expert emphasizes that other theme parks in the Yangtze River Delta should learn from Disneyland and ParcAsterisk, which offer two good examples of complement to each other. By complementary means each theme park will have its distinguishing feature with which tof absorb the maximum of profit.
Pero al parecer, la compañÃa que tenia que crear Disney Shangai se ha visto metida en un foco de corrupción o algo, por lo que Disney al parecer, esta dudando de ponerlo ahora en PEKIN!

Contacted by e-mail on Monday, a Disney spokeswoman in Hong Kong said: "The Walt Disney Company has not reached an agreement with Shanghai to build a second destination resort in China."
"Our focus is on the successful operation of our first theme park in China -- Hong Kong Disneyland," she added.
"China is a priority for the entire company and we have a continuing dialogue about a variety of Disney initiatives, including television, motion pictures and consumer products, of which theme parks are only a part."
In March this year, Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng told reporters that the city was eager to host a Disney park after the company opened a $1.8 billion Disneyland in Hong Kong in 2005.
In early August, the official China Securities Journal reported that Shanghai authorities had started preparing a site for the park, even though Beijing had still not reached agreement with Walt Disney and the city government.
Under Chen's leadership, Shanghai became known for a string of showy real estate projects, including a $350 million Formula One race track, one of the world's most expensive tracks, and a futuristic $150 million tennis stadium.
Some officials in Beijing opposed such projects as wasteful and liable to encourage real estate speculation, and the Shanghai corruption probe may have increased their influence for the time being, analysts believe.
Disney cartoons are already a hit among Chinese children, so even if a Shanghai park does not materialise, the company may look at other possible locations, including non-coastal areas where the local government is eager to attract foreign investment, said another source familiar with the issue.
"It's not going to be in the South or on the coast -- (it may be) somewhere where they're desperate to promote some growth," said the source.
A ver que acaba pasando...
