If the following information is indeed correct Malaysia would be the next to get a Disney Theme park.

Walt Disney Co is looking to build a theme park on a 500-acre (202-hectare) 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.

This came as a little surprise to me and I am not sure if this would indeed see the day of light. After Hong Kong’s performance being below expectations one would have expected that Disney might not be looking into opening more parks. Then again, with the support of  Malaysia, the right location and the right price everything is possible.

Disney isn’t the only one talking to Malaysia, Warner Bros Entertainment and MGM are also still in the running but Disney is having the edge at the moment. (Reuters)

The proposed Disneyland theme park and resort is slated to be bigger than Hong Kong Disneyland and about the size of Tokyo Disney Resort

If talks are indeed going the right way a signing of the deal could be expected as soon as the middle of next year.
