This thing people are split on: it’d be a massive hit in Korea vs. it’d flop...

Some community users debate whether a Disneyland in Korea would be packed or flop, with Universal Studios emerging as the favorite alternative.

Why would it flop? Lotte World and Everland are already absolutely packed, and people play the timing game to avoid the crowds lol. Just wait till it opens... You really think it’d flop? No f*cking way. If it does, I’ll put up my entire net worth.

We’d be lucky if it didn’t end up like Legoland. In Korea, the perception that Disney = cartoons for kids is so strong that people might visit once for social media, but it wouldn’t work long-term. And targeting foreigners? Why would they go out of their way...? Only the people who already want to go would go. You haven’t seriously imagined it being that packed, have you? I don’t know how much your net worth is, but don’t make bets like that so casually offline. And do you really think the age groups that go to Lotte World and Everland would spend big at Disneyland and visit often? Universal Studios honestly has a better chance in Korea.

I think it’d do insanely well. Don’t Koreans go crazy for theme parks? But Gyeongju World is about the only one that still maintains any kind of concept... And think about how many people go back and forth to Tokyo and Osaka several times just for Disney or Universal Studios... Disneyland even has a slightly different concept in every country... It’s just sad that there’s almost no chance of it happening.
