In this article, China has been the catalyst  of theme park growth. Over 65 major parks have been built or planned to be built in China by Legoland, Universal Studio as well as other major local operators.  In the previous article about the richest man in China waging a war against other non-Chinese amusement parks,; Disney, this article is on the other spectrum. The CEO of the  International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) believes that the  local amusement parks should be very happy because the big international brands that enter China  educate and set very high standards of what an amusement park experience should be.

I found this article quite interesting just after discussing the Disney Case in class. I do believe that Disney didn’t take into consideration the possible threats from local theme parks. Wang, the richest man in China believes the price was too high to build Disneyland which will raise the prices to other theme parks in China. He also believes that Disneyland doesn’t belong in China because China already has their version of Mickey Mouse, Wanda.
