Oriental Land cancels new Disney park

Oriental Land scraps plan for new Disney facility

Reuters
Tokyo Disney Resort operator Oriental Land Co Ltd said on Tuesday it had scrapped a plan for a new Disney-theme entertainment complex in a major city in Japan, citing the poor prospects of the project's investment returns.

The firm said it would continue to explore possibilities for a new business, which might not involve Disney characters.

The company and Walt Disney Co have spent more than a year studying a plan to build an urban-style amusement facility in 2010 or later, but they decided that the estimated investment return would not justify the project, it said.

"Urban-style amusement facility?" Is that another spin on Rasulo's upscale high-entry-fee mall-style park? If so, I'm glad. I didn't think that idea had wings to begin with.
