Update: Disney Denies Bahrain Theme Park Reports
Found this on the BBC website:
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is discussing the proposed $8bn (£4.1bn) scheme with potential investors, the local al-Waqt newspaper says.
Oil prices - which trebled in the five years to July 2006 - have brought massive wealth to the region.
Kuwait Finance House, the region’s second largest Islamic bank, is among those in talks, the paper said.However the bank declined to comment and the Prince was unavailable.
It would not be the Prince’s first foray into the world of Mickey Mouse and Goofy.
He indirectly owns 10% of Euro Disney - which operates Disneyland Paris and also struck a deal late last year to distribute Disney merchandise across the Middle East and Africa.
According to the report, a study has identified the need for a “project for family entertainment”.
Disney currently has 11 theme parks including in Paris and Hong Kong, and has set its sights on Shanghai where China’s economic boom has created disposable income among the middle classes.
I guess Dubai missed out 
cause this will be HUGE for the region.

Nora-Cassandra,

forzaq8,
i already updated the post with a link that showed that diseny denied it
الحمدلله ان الخبر غير صحيح !
أساسا فكرة ديزني لاند بالبحرين هذي غلط !!
الحين البلد لحالها زحمة، وعشان مجمع السيف وشارع المعارض الواحد ما يقدر يمشي تقاطعين بدون ما يوقف، ما بالك لو يحطون ديزني لاند !!
وقتها لازم يسورون البحرين .. عشان الناس ما تطيح بالبحر
LOOOOOOL @ “nas e6ee7 bel ba7ar”
hehehehehe
and 5al ysawoonha bel s3odiya
cuz they have the bigger land
It seems i didn’t read the whole report well. But I’m happy I still have my play ground F1 Sakhir Circuit! So I think I’ll be finding other things for my daughter to do!
hmmm interesting idea.. bSs b3dain we dont hav an excuse to go to paris. everyone will just say go to bahrain..
no not a good idea ;p
is Michael Jackson paying for it? :p
Dubai can do a “Six Flags”
Interesting. If I remember correctly though there were plenty of PR problems in Hong Kong when they made people wait so long for each ride. Americans have gotten comfortable with that but many other people around the world wouldn’t anticipate having to calm their kids through a 40 minute wait per ride. There are a lot of cultural issues that can make it difficult for the whole Disney experience to be enjoyed here. BTW there are plans to build a huge entertainment city in Qatar inshalla so yeah Dubai needs to catch up…
an outdoor park in Bahrain?????? have they thought about the hot humid summer days when the temperature is 50 and the humididy is soaking wet!!
nice project…
COOL
