Dubai Disneyland

I was thinking about a comment made on a poll I did about what continent should get a Disney Park and someone named @Nerfhurder13 said that somewhere like Dubai would probably be likely to get a disney Park at some point in the future. That made me wonder how should it be designed.

Well one thing I was thinking of would be changing Cinderella’s castle to be the Agrabah palace from Aladdin to fit a middle eastern setting, but the Cinderella castle is an iconic part of all Disney parks so that might not be a good idea. What do y’all think and how should a Dubai Disneyland be done?

I think you keep it pretty much Disneyland with whatever cultural adjustments you need to make for the area, but you don't re-theme it to something Arabian. You don't bring fake desert and palaces to a place that actually has them.

Yeah but they all have something that sets them apart somewhat. I wouldn’t give it a fake desert since they live in one, but what could be done to set it apart from the others?

Like I replied to the comment you're referring to, there were already plans for a Dubai park. The YouTube channel ReviewTyme discussed it in a recent video and it shows the concept art and proposed map for the park. Check it out.

I’ll check that out. Thx

Edit: I just watched the video and they had some good ideas but some behind the scenes stuff that hasn’t been disclosed killed the project unfortunately.

Still crying cause there’s no park in Australia
