DISNEYLAND SINGAPORE: Disneyland May Be Built At Marina East




Walt Disney confirmed that Disneyland is in talks with the Singapore
Government to build a theme park in Singapore.


Singapore Tourism Board says they are looking at all avenues to bring
tourism growth into Singapore to achieve the 2015 Tourism target.


Disney says they are totally not interested in building a theme park in
Malaysia, and has never started any negotiations with the Malaysians.


According to sources, Disneyland Singapore will be constructed next to
Marina Bay Golf Course.


This piece of land is very near to the city. Across the waters will be the
new Marina Bay Downtown. And facing the land is a unobstructed view of
the sea. Behind the land is the high end Tanjong Rhu residential area. It
takes less than 30 minutes to travel from Changi Airport to the potential
site. And this piece of land is an exceptionally golden piece of prime
land.


For example, the 20.6 hectres of land for the Marina Bay Sands was sold to
Las Vegas Sands at S$1.2 billion. And last year, the 3.55 hectres of land
from the new Marina Bay Downtown was sold off to conglomerates at S$1.8
billion.


The land size the Government will allocate to Walt Disney is still under
discussion, but sources revealed that the size of Disneyland Singapore will

be roughly the same as Disneyland Tokyo.


Disneyland Singapore will be a more compact theme park with some of its
attraction built inside buildings.


As the Marina East land is next to the sea, Disneyland Singapore will most
probably have a sea theme or a futuristic theme to it.

Analysts say that the Marina Bay Gold Course may be returned to the
Government once their lease is up, so that Disneyland Singapore can begin

construction of the second phase of their theme park.

I think i3investor should verify the source before allowing to appear. Seems the "news" is a hoax.
