If they did decide to put a park in Ontario, (knowing that this was a fiction article) It wouldn't take anything away from Orlando. I would go to the one in Canada but Walt Disney World is special you can't compare anything to it. It would give the people that can't afford to go to Disney somewhere to go that's closer!

I think its a load of rubbish. This isn't a good time for Disney to start putting lots of $ into a big new project. Orlando Sentinel recently reported about how they may not be doing too well, also Disneyland Tokyo isn't doing that brilliantly either.

Disney theme parks worldwide reported a profit of 1.2 billion US in 2007, don't take anything you read in the Sentinel with anything more than a grain of salt regarding Disney. If you read the report the analyst is only speculating on three things he perceived would lead to a downturn eventually. The Sentinel is notoriously slanted against all things Disney.

I'm in Buffalo, and there are at least three really good indoor water parks within a two hour drive of me, including into Canada so I don't know if that would be the best outlet for a Disney venture. Another issue is that starting yesterday you need either a passport or a license and your birth certificate to travel into Canada, even if you are driving so that may hinder some travel from those of us in the states.

However, a park like Paramount Canada's Wonderland, even though it is only open from May to October seems to do well for itself in terms of attendance. I am not saying Disney would open a seasonal park, but there is interest up north for amusement parks and I think Disney could do something wonderful. I've never been but I keep thinking about the Adventuredome in Vegas, but I don't know how a structure like that would hold up to the cold, winds, and possible snow fall of Ontario.

In terms of taking away from WDW or DL, I usually only get to go to WDW once every 2 years, BUT we take road trips in between and often end up in Canada and I would not hesitate to visit anything Disney has to offer.

In 2010 they`ll still be laughing at the discussion boards still discussing the new rumour of a 5th gate....

All I have to say is :ROFLOL::ROFLOL:

Agreed! While it was interesting reading on a future perspective and fun theory, this entire thread from a debate perspective is 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Now, are they taking applications for Villain Kingdom yet? :lookaroun

Yes, but unfortunately the demands for employees are quite high. I applied and apparently they wanted someone who was 10% more "evil".

As for SM, if they keep delaying it any longer we will be complaining about it 2010.
