准备迎接一个“全新的世界!”
七分之一迪士尼目的地即将来到阿布扎比。
华特·迪士尼公司首席执行官鲍勃·伊格尔于周三宣布了这一重大消息早安美国称其为“我们建造的技术最先进的主题公园”。"
“我为阿联酋和阿布扎比感到兴奋。伊格尔说:“我认为，把迪士尼乐园带到世界上的一片土地上是一件大事，这是一个重大的声明，这是一个伟大的时刻。”。
迪士尼故事的新篇章将改写这片以建筑、文化、海岸线和沙漠闻名的土地。兴奋已经在阿拉伯联合酋长国的首都阿布扎比酝酿。
“我们已经决定，我们要建立一个非常现代的迪斯尼乐园，”艾格继续说道。“很明显，它将融入我们的大量知识产权，以及我们在主题公园里讲述的一些典型故事。”
迪士尼的新主题公园将位于阿布扎比的亚斯岛，距离加利福尼亚州阿纳海姆约8400英里第一个迪斯尼乐园于1955年开业。
“你开始思考什么是可能的，实际上设想一座城堡从沙滩上升起，也在水上，”艾格说。
“我们还没有决定一切，但我们知道它将被一座城堡所锚定，”艾格继续说道。“再说一次，阿布扎比的现代化——这座城堡将是我们建造的第一座真正的现代城堡。”
艾格说，选择阿布扎比作为下一个迪士尼乐园的地点是一个关键的决定。
“阿联酋和阿布扎比是世界的十字路口，”艾格说。“这在很多方面都是一个枢纽，但也因为它所处的位置，它可以到达如此多不同的地区，这些地方在我们的公园游客数量方面通常只触及皮毛。”
迪士尼的新主题公园自2017年以来一直在筹备中，但在艾格去年访问该地区并发现迪士尼周围已经有很多令人兴奋的事情后，这个主题公园就具体化了。
“这是一个对未来有着雄心勃勃和令人兴奋的愿景的地方，”艾格说。“所以这将给我们一个机会来建造一些非常非常高质量的东西，这里已经建造的这么多东西就证明了这一点，这也是我们有史以来建造的技术最先进的主题公园。”
Disney announces new theme park coming to Abu Dhabi
Disney'snew theme parkwill be located on Abu Dhabi's Yas Island, about 8,400 miles away from Anaheim, California – the site ofthe first Disneylandthat opened in 1955.
"You start thinking about what is possible, actually envisioning a castle rising up in this case from the sand and also being on the water," Iger said.
"We haven't decided everything that will go into it but we do know it will be anchored by a castle," Iger continued. "And again – the modernization that is Abu Dhabi – the castle will be the first real modern castle that we built."
Iger said the selection of Abu Dhabi as the next Disneyland site was a key decision.
"The UAE and Abu Dhabi is a crossroads of the world," said Iger. "This is a hub in many respects but also, because it is located where it is, it's accessible to so many different regions, places where we typically have only scratched the surface in terms of attendance to our parks."
Disney's new theme park has been in the works since 2017 but crystalized after Iger visited the region last year and discovered there was already a lot of excitement surrounding Disney.
"This is a place that has a very ambitious and very exciting vision for its future," Iger said. "So this will give us an opportunity to build something very, very high quality as evidenced by so much of what's already been built here, but also the most technologically advanced theme park that we've ever built."
