Walt Disney Company denies construction of theme park in Peru

News that The Walt Disney Company was evaluating a project in Peru has circled the globe since El Comercio newspaper posted an article affirming this information on Monday.

National and international news agencies quoted El Comercio and rapidly spread the news of the multi-billion dollar project to supposedly take place south of Lima.

Blogs and other dailies have speculated the possibilities and questioned whether Peru is ready for such an investment and if the global company is truly interested in such a venture.

In yet another story released on the topic on Wednesday morning, Peru.com reported that The Walt Disney Company had no interest in building one of its iconic theme parks in Peru.

The online news site cited Maria Adela Lavalle as stating, "We completely deny the construction of a theme park in Peru".

The head of Disney's Corporate Communications in Latin America was also quoted as stating, "Currently, there is not a study taking place to build a theme park in Latin America".

You mean that now people aren't going to hurry up and start buying over-priced land near Asia based on a rumor started by an investment group?

Shame, shame.

Sounds like another April Fool's joke.  There is no way that Disney would build a theme park in Peru.

Al imbecil de Rodrigo

Tengo muchos amigos de venezuela, quienes estan sufriendo la falta de libertad de tener un lider ignorante, descarado, corrupto, solo hagamos cuenta. Produccion venezuela de petroleo multiplicado por coste de barril 50$. Un lider que no tiene compasion de su gente y que da imagen de ser bondadoso es un pobre miserable. Los Peruanos de ahora debmos pensar bien, elegir un lider gestor de cambio, vision de economia mundial, un alto nivel de estudio. No es por desmerecer a nadie, pero liderar a un pais es una responsabilidad muy grande, no esta echo para militares, la imagen del militar ha estado ligada siempre a corrupcion (miremos nuestra clase militar, metido en porquerias). !Zapatero a su zapato!!!.

Peru desde hace un periodo atraz ha desarrollado un crecimiento macroeconomico sostenido, esto debe ser fortalecido en el tiempo, uniendonos, estudiando, desarrollando proyectos con vision a largo plazo, industrializando nuestra economia, fortaleciendo nuestras politicas fiscales y legislativas, invirtiendo en tecnologia I+D, PRODUCTIVIDAD, EDUCACION. etc

Espero volver a mi pais despues de culminar mis estudios y tratar de poner algun grano de arena.

Viva el Peru!!!

Respect to the news:
Maybe Walt Disney doesn't have plans for set up a new park in Peru. However, they or another investors can evaluate the possibility for invest in Peru. This country has many opportunities like its location, minerals, glorious ancestor, people etc.
WELCOME TO PERU!!!

Rodrigo, if you like Humala so much, move to Venezuela, they are experiencing what Peru would if Humala was ever to govern Peru.
In my opiniong, Peru should keep its goals and improve 3 main problems in Peru, infrastructure, transportation ( which comes along with infrastructure ) but it needs a major reform, and Corruption control throughout the country, perhaps a Anti-Corruption minister would no be a bad idea. Anyhow, as yeard go by many more Peruvian realize what a beautiful country Peru is, and have more confidence on investing within the country, and their selfsteem as Peruvians grows as they hear the progress Peru is achieving, making them more concern about their coutnry ( hopefully they will realize how bad it is to litter! )
With that being said, I will also return to Peru one da to contribute to this progress, haremos Patria!

:O q bien! la verdad me emocioné cuando me enteré de la noticia.. soi Peruano, pero la verdad es q creo q perú no esta preparado aun para un Disney... hay mucha corrupcion.. contrabando.. violaciones... robos.. las autopistas son malas... muchas cosas desfavorables.. a los turistas.. la gente peruana, algunos, los tratan mal.. xq somos ignorantes... nos falta mucha cultura y educación todavia, y creo que no tendria mucho acojimiento en el Perú, sino que gente de otros paises como Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Brasil, y talves, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, etc... bueno, esos paises creo yo que serian los que mas vendrian y se llenaria de puros turistas.. xq la gente peruana todavia no tiene buena situacion economica.. i en un juego.. ponle que gastes.. 10 dolares... :S kien aca en el Perú gastaria 30 soles en 1! juego... solo la gente adinerada.. pero la gente de clase media no, si la gente se pelea con el Play Land Park, por pagar 5 soles! en un juego.. imaginence 30.. :S i no un juego sino ponle 4... 120 soles... i no es tan solo un hijo.. ponle q son 3... 360! soles... alguien gastaria 360 soles en un dia... para diversion.. sin contar el pasaje... ni la comida... y eso que pongo un precio de 10 dolares.. xq seguro habran juegos hasta de 40 dolares... asi que piensenlo bien.. Perú no esta aun preparado para algo como eso, seguro en 10 años, la situación mejore, pero por nuestro bien, y por nuestra reputación seria mejor que por ahora no, pueden ir al Play Land Park de Lima que queda en el distrito de San Luis, queda entre la aveniva Aviación y Canada, por ahora conformemonos con eso u.u y con el Aventura Park y Coney Park.. i esas cosas.. saludos! y por siacaso, no soi el Rodrigo de arriba xD  cuidense! saludos :D Dios los bendiga :D
