And leave it to Eisner and his crew of short-sighted minions to "harvest the brand" by building half-day parks until the Disney name is too tarnished to mean something special regardless of where they live.
Disney needs to put the soul back in some of their existing parks before they put the next park in Seoul.
A little play on words there...get it? Well, gee...if I have to explain it then it wasn't any good.
If it's another type of park, okay. But if it is yet another "Magic Kingdom" type park then no. They will be diluting the brand two much if they keep building clones all over the place. Especially in the same region. If they wanted to build in South America or Australia, okay. I could see that. But yet another park in Asia? No.
These places should be kind of special and destinations. Not like McDonald's with one on every corner.
