Shanghai Disneyland Confirmed

[The Adventurer]

I just read a news announcement on imdb.com that said that after the Olympics Disney is going to announce their new park, Shanghai Disneyland that will be the largest theme park ever built and will be a more Pixar-centered Magic Kingdom. It may be done as early as 2012.

Not currently confirmed, and still in the rumor stage. See http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iCoC-7-ZyoGG8kDCXJ88qhM91xLQ

Far from a confirmation.. That information came from Jim Hill yesterday. Might be true might not. We'll see in September.

Interesting concept for sure. But I guess we'll find out after the Olympics if it's true or not.

Here's an article from Yahoo! News about how this rumored deal may involve unrivaled access to the Chinese market over all other media companies, bypassing the normal Chinese laws for foreign film quotas, censorship and summer/holiday backout periods:
