We have to admit, we found it difficult to be excited following the original announcement of Shanghai Disneyland. Admittedly, this is partly because it is so far away (in both time and distance) – but also because, frankly, we were a little skeptical that the world really needed another park modelled on the original Disneyland. <\/p>\n

However, having seen the initial concept art and heard the rumors surrounding Shanghai Disneyland, we’re now very intrigued. If Disney really does opt to break the mould and build something original at its new resort, it’ll be fascinating to see what its array of talented Imagineers can create. At the very least, we hope we’ll see a Disneyland Paris-style merging of local design with classic Disney fare.<\/p>\n

Disney is expected to perform an official unveiling of the Shanghai Disneyland project in April 2011, at which it may (or may not) reveal some additional details. Stay tuned to Theme Park Tourist for all the confirmed information as it emerges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
