"Hello everyone, here's a big Asia theme park update today. Let's begin with this interesting news: A new MGM Studios theme park will open in Korea in 2010. As you've noticed, there's no "Disney" before the name "MGM Studios" this time, and the reason why is that Disney won't be involved. As you all probably know, the MGM deal that Disney had soon will expire, so MGM's current management is now free to license out future theme parks without the Mouse.

 

From a press release: Scheduled to open in 2011, this $1.02 billion MGM Studios-based destination resort conceived and designed by Thinkwell Design & Production consists of a world-class theme park, entertainment retail complex and hotel. Not a traditional ride park, MGM Studio Park, an innovative new experience theme park will consist of unique themed attractions, innovative rides, experiences, original shows & spectaculars and a brand new kind of movie attraction that's an immersive, all-day VIP experience. Hollywood Way, the entertainment retail complex connected to the entrance of MGM Studio Park, is a fantasy backlot come alive with amazing retail, exclusive dining and one-of-a kind MGM branded experiences, nightlife, entertainment and more."

That's going to be hard to compete with Lotte World. If you didn't already know, Lotte World has the highest attendance of any park in the world (Or atleast did, I read it in like 2003 so I'm sure it's changed by now). Tokyo Disney follows and the rest of the Disney's Follow after that.

This will be great. I'd love to visit a park with an insane nuclear missle launching moron next door.

The design of the park just looks like Disney-MGM Studios to me.

^^beemer: you beat me to that!

I was going to say: I hope their launch coasters launch better than their missiles.

It looks almost IOAish.

 

Looks like the coaster will be outside.
