Disney-theme Park to be Built in Vung Tau


California-based Good Choice USA last week got an official investment certificate to develop a $1.3 billion Disneyland-style them park in the coastal town of Vung Tau, near Ho Chi Minh City.It is a move that Good Choice, one of the affiliates of leading US real estate and investment firm Platinum Dragon Empire Incorporated (PDE), considered “very significant” for its project development.
The Vung Tau Wonderful World Theme Park project will cover 155 hectares in Vung Tau’s Bau Trung area with entertainment facilities for children and adults.The giant park will also house the 80-storey Landmark Tower, a “Wonders of the World” site, where spectators will find replicas of the Eiffel Tower, Golden Gate Bridge, the Egyptian Pyramids as well as an international conference centre, shopping malls, internationally-standardised hotels and restaurants, 3D cinemas and open-air stages.The giant park will be able to accommodate 100,000 visitors around the clock.Besides the park, Good Choice is also interested in a project to build an aquarium complex in Nghinh Phong Cape. The multi-storey Vung Tau Aquarium will be modeled on a giant aquarium in Monterey, northern California, USA.The project will comprise large aquariums displaying various marine life as well as fastfood restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, booking counters, waiting rooms and showrooms featuring coral, marine plants and information on oceanography.The two projects are scheduled to finish beyond 2010, but developers want them to be operational as soon as possible to cash in on arising opportunities for Vietnam’s tourism industry.
