| Thanks for the link - great news.  I can't wait for work to actually start on this, as I know this will go on my must-do list once it's open for business.

| And in this bad economy  . Well I guess at this point China is the only country not fully effected by the recession so Disney found more good business within the country. It will be interesting but I imagine its going to be another Magic Kingdom knock off.

| Interesting! China is a massive untapped market in many ways. It'll certainly be interesting to see how a massive capitalist company like Disney manages to "do business" in a Communist country!

Also, while Disney will own about 40% of the park when finished, Disney will be making little or none of the cash investment - the bulk of the money will be coming from Chinese investors. Not only that, but Imagineering will be charging those investors for all its hard work. In short, Disney brings its reputation, characters, and know-how, and the other guys pay the bills. That's a deal that works fine for Disney, recession or not.
