Argentina building "Disney" type park?

[nbodyhome]

I actually saw this mentioned elsewhere days ago, but the site server has been down each time I checked the site out. The video itself is mostly people walking around on grass, scoping out an area (with some theme park shots thrown in - looks more like BGT to me).

And an interesting press release.

yeah, I saw that on screamscape a few days back and kept meaning to post about it. I laughed at the press release that talks about how the racist Walt Disney company wouldn't work with them to build the park because they didn't want middle eastern investments so they're going to do it themselves.

I saw it on Screamscape and elsewhere, but never was able to get to the site until I just remembered now. I guess Screamscape gave the server quite a workout!

I liked how almost all the attractions appeared to be videod at BGT or somewhere similar. The press release was quite a surprise, too! (in the wording, certainly)

The press release was a bit shocking. I cannot believe a company would use any such "informal" language in any press release-

I personally think their press reslease is a perfect showcase for their level of professionalism, and why the Walt Disney Company would never seriously talk with them...

I love the Jetsons-style house smack-dab in the middle of everything. And the castle with the sports cars in front of it.

Not much good can come out of this. Argentina has a reputation for ruining good things...

[seafaring_ghost]

i would think that there would be problems with the companies name and the like as well since it would be infringing on the rights to the walt disney name that the walt disney corporation owns.

This HAS to be a joke.

Well, with Nara Dreamland closed, it's lowered the world's supply of cheezy run-down Disneyland ripoffs to unacceptably low levels, so this just might restore the balance.

You wanna hear something sick. Nara Dreamland opened 5 years after Disneyland opened. So when it closed, it was 45 years old during Disneyland's 50th. That was pretty incredable.
