Disneyland Malaysia rumor still circulating in Asian press

Disney eyeing theme park site in Malaysia Reuters Walt Disney Co is looking to build a theme park on a 500-acre site in southern Malaysia, a business weekly reported on Saturday. Citing unnamed sources, the Edge said the theme park, to be located in Bardar Nusajaya in the Iskandar development zone, would be ready six years after a deal was signed, according to early proposals. The proposed Disneyland theme park and resort is slated to be bigger than Hong Kong Disneyland and about the size of Tokyo Disney Resort, it said. Although the talks with Disney are progressing fast, discussions with other theme park operators, including Warner Bros Entertainment and MGM , have not ceased, the Edge said. "However, a deal with Walt Disney looks most promising as it has expressed its seriousness and has come out with specifications on its requirements," it quoted a source as saying. If the talks with Disney are successful, a deal is expected to be signed by the middle of next year, it added. complete article

I think it could be true. Reuters is a very reliable source.

That's true, Rueters is a very reliable source. And it is true that Malaysia's been courting theme park companies to build parks there.

But stories like this have been coming up about Malaysia for about two years now, and Disney has already denied it several times. That's why I chose to put the story here in the rumor mill.

Well, I think it could be a wise decision to build a park there. If Malaysia are asking for one, then the people there must want one and it could be a win-win situation.

^ Well, not necessarily.... there are other factors to consider in, too.
