It'd have to be in Chile or Uruguay if they want an economically and politically stable country to build it in. If it were to happen, I'd bet Chile.

I never said 'at this time'.
I haven't visited Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, or Universal's Volcano Bay, but from what I've read, Volcano Bay is rather spectacular. Maybe there'll be something similarly up-to-date and high-budget at Walt Disney World?
Typhoon Lagoon opened in 1989, 32 years ago.
Blizzard Beach opened in 1995, 26 years ago.
Volcano Bay opened in 2017.

Once again... You said its NEVER going to happen. You have no way of knowing what going to occur in the future. I said... No plans at this time. Never say Never. If you know whats in the minds of Disney execs regarding future plans in building the next park then youre the only one on earth that can predict the moves that will be coming. And theres no way thats happening. .

ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. Ever. In the history of the planet.

At this time yes. But the OP didnt ask what Chapek was going to do NOW. Its a future speculation on whats his legacy going to be in time. Politically and economically at the present time many areas in the world are in turmoil but things can change. Eisner and Iger had many years in term. No one knows if Chapek will be gone tomorrow or have an extended run as Disney's head. There may be plenty of time for him to build a legacy

OK Nostradamus. Let me know more about how the future will take place. You must make a killing in the stock market.

His legacy will be building tons of resorts on the land that was meant to be set aside to remain as wilderness at WDW.

Nostradamus made his reputation by making vague predictions that can be interpreted in many, many ways.
I am simply and concisely saying that there will never be a Disney park built in Latin America.
Or future expansion of MK, EP, AK or HS......

I think it is silly to compare him to Iger at this point. Once, if it happens, that Chapek is in place as long as Iger, then one can compare. Who knows he may even be the one that leads Disney to the same place where Kodak and others ended up.

I remember... It was a fun place to visit. But there's hardly demand for two waterparks, let alone a third.
I think thats what a lot of us fear...........

I have nothing to base this on, but I don't think you have to worry about that. I strongly feel that he is just the sacrificial lamb, put in place to save Iger reputation and take the heat for Genie, etc. He will never last as long as Iger. When it comes to business savvy, he just plain doesn't have the wide experience that Iger has. And you will notice that Iger has "retired" but has never left. When I retired I left and didn't look back.
I was replying to a comment about potentially opening a park in Latin America, and chiming in based on years of first-hand experience in the region. Brazil could also work, but crime there would make a park in Brazil a non-starter.
Costa Rica and Panamá could also work, as far as stable government and economies go. However their proximity to narcotrafficking in the other Central America countries and associated crime doesn't help.

His legacy will be the Creations Shop in Epcot…cold and uninspired.
I still don’t have the nerve to ride Summit Plummet at Blizzard. There is a popular viewing point at the bottom of the ride. Some guests observe which article of bathing suit attire flies off when the rider shoots down at 60mph down to the bottom .

VB replaced a 40 yo park that was now a prime hotel location. Not the same motivation just to say "look how new and shiny" after they dumped a ton into BB infrastructure the last few years. What you see is what you get.

Seems like a one piece for women would solve that problem with the exception of an epic wedgy.
