Ask any young child, going to Disney Land is always something that I looked forward to. Whenever it is time for the family to take a trip to California to Disney Land, or to Florida to Disney World I was excited beyond belief. Disneyland’s are now not only popular in the United States but in another big countries like China. With the economy the way it is today, even though it is getting better is it worth all the money and risk to build a theme park like Disney Land.

In Shanghai there is going to be a Disney Land built and the estimated cost will be 24.4 billion yuan. That is 3.6 billion American dollars. To this date, out of three overseas Disneyland’s in the World, only the Tokyo Park has seen any type of profit. Reports have said that this Disney in Shanghai will be the mother of all Disney Lands. In Hong Kong Disney Land is growing. They have reported to have agreed on extending the park by wanting to add three new lands onto the existing four that are already there. Hong Kong Disneyland today has denied that there are plans for even more expansion, but for now that’s not necessary. After many years of worrying about competition, Hong Kong’s Disney Land has been one of the most productive out of all Disney Land’s.

This article has given me the idea that even though something can be a risk, you have to understand the risk and look beyond it. Shanghai will be taking a big risk when they come out with their new theme park, but that is something that they are willing to face and hopefully they will be successful in doing so. Someone that doesn’t take risk in my opinion will never be as successful as they could be. I am a person that is willing to take a risk and I know I will do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever I do.
