We got Magic Kingdom, but we didn't get E.P.C.O.T., at least in its true form. Heck, Disney used to send out publications in newspaper form to locals about the planned Port Disney or Disney's America. I just hope this time, they actually do build a park, and hopefully, it won't be another "Magic Kingdom". You would think they would have learned their lesson from EuroDisney? But then again, they have some exact replicas of small American towns in China, so maybe it would work there, from a financial point of view. But from the view of a theme park enthusiast, I hope they come up with something new and exciting, the future of theme parks, and not simply as a way to get the Chinese excited about the Little Mermaid.
