First images of Shanghai Disneyland revealed
Disney has unveiled the first image of Shanghai Disneyland Resort, at its annual meeting of shareholders this month.
Set to open in 2015, the resort will include 225-acre theme park Shanghai Disneyland, two themed hotels and 16,000sq m (495,000sq ft) of retail, dining and entertainment, recreational facilities and a lake.
The Enchanted Storybook Castle will be the centrepiece of the theme park and will be surrounded by themed lands.
Walt Disney Company chief executive and chairman Robert A. Iger said: “With Shanghai Disneyland, we’re creating a one-of-a-kind destination that is authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese.
“We believe this will be one of the most spectacular Disney experiences yet – and an important part of our future.”
The Pudong New District attraction is the sixth Disney resort.
