Will there be a 7th Disneyland Resort in a tropical country?

[Eden Wong]

I would like the next 7th Disneyland Resort to be built in SINGAPORE or MALAYSIA, and be the first Disney park in a tropical country, since most of the others are already nearer to the north. People from Southeast Asia (incl. Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines), India, Australia and New Zealand can visit the park within close access. People from Thailand and Vietnam can visit parks from Singapore/Malaysia and China.
...And after this, give gifts to the poor and needy and bring joy to their folks and children by building smaller parks with less budget in India, UAE, Brazil, Russia, South Africa and Australia for the less fortunate to experience the magic.

India will soon pass China as the most populated country in the world. In fact most population experts expect China's population to start decreasing soon and falling below 1 billion in a couple if 20 to 30 years. Therefore India should be the location of the next Disneyland Resort. If course we need new bold leadership willing to spend on a major expansion of all Divisions.

These parks would be hot. Imagine Florida’s summer heat and humidity but year round. Possible, but not a comfortable experience.

I’d also be very concerned about the economics of such a venture. Paris and Hong Kong are basically perpetually in the red, and in the same division as the US parks, and that’s with Hong Kong being an airport hub. Would a park in New Delhi or Mumbai really be profitable on its own? India may have a better population trend than China, but it isn’t as wealthy yet either.

Yes. The point is to build a larger budget Disney Park in Singapore first for those who can afford and build a lower budget smaller one (though still beautiful) to feed the poor in India, which can expand depending on the demand.

No one outside of the Disney office can predict now where the next park will be in, especially now when covid is still lurking around.

My vote is for Brazil.

If they build it I will organize a tour group and visit frequently. I’m going to start looking for flags and working on chants now.

And why not a theme park in a snowy spot. Like Canada Imagine the magic in winter and at christmas.
Paris+Tokyo > often rainy
Hong kong + Florida > tropical
Canada > Snowy !

Nope. Disney isnt in business to give away the company, as you say building small parks for the poor and needy. They would never realize enough profitability to sustain the business and the result would be drawing off of the other parks to stay solvent. A large part of any companies research to decide where a location is going to be used to expand is how the demographics of those utilizing the services will sustain long term business and result in profits. Building in a poor area does not accomplish that. Disney isnt a charity looking out for the enjoyment of the poor.

 

[Grim Grinning Grayson]

I don't think so or at least not for a long time. Hell they have to get the ones they have operating back to normal and flourishing before they talk about opening a new one. I am not saying that the Disney Parks are hurting severely or anything like that and I think I heard that the parks made a profit for the first time since the pandemic hit last year so things are improving, but this is not the time for a new park for sure.

I think Singapore or Malaysia would make a good choice. The rich in these countries, Thailand and Australia/NZ can afford, the poor from India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Philippines can visit not too distant in location. Fair enough, UAE makes a good choice with both rich and poor. Greece makes grand too, also near the Mediterranean countries, Russia, Caucasus and Middle East but that also mean taking part of its paradise area to build Disneyland. Brazil can feed Central and South latinos.

Each of the people from far countries don't want to wait til the end of the world to see Disneyland unless they are willing to take a plane, or high speed rail if that is complete soon enough.

 

[Brer Panther]

Do we even want to see a new Disney park spearheaded by Bob Chapek? Something tells me that it'd basically be Disney California Adventure 1.0 all over again.

 

[Robbiem]

I’m sure there will be another Disneyland at some point. My money would be on India or maybe the Middle East as a Tokyo style franchise park. Im not sure Disney would go to singapore with Uni already there and the location most likely being near the casino resorts. Malaysia would be interesting but I’m not sure how many tourists it gets. In south east asia I‘d probably go for Thailand. Good infrastructure on the whole, very big tourist locations and the opportunity for a tropical resort with a beautiful location

 

[Eden Wong]

No prophet can predict now where there will be another Disneyland. Lucky will be the nation that Disney choose.

I have been to Hong Kong Disneyland and Universal Singapore. They are both half day parks cause they are so small. I don't think they need to build one in nearby Southeast Asian countries since they can simply travel to Hong Kong or Singapore cause it's cheap based on my experience.

 

[Eden Wong]

For those who don't take the plane to HK from SE Asia, Singapore would be a good choice. In fact Universal Studios Singapore and Disneyland Singapore can complement one another to make Sentosa worth visiting if both would be there. Singapore's south is clearing up land for future usage. Only can tell what they will build there after it's done.
