Disneyland Adelaide
Posted: Thu Aug 01, 2019 9:13 pm
For a long time, we have been calling on leaders to do something to attract young people to Adelaide and South Australia!
Thankfully, I have a great idea on how this can be achieved! By building a new Disneyland theme park on the fringes of Adelaide!
If approved, Disneyland Adelaide will be built at the site of the existing Parafield Airport, measuring 437 hectares in size. It will be the biggest theme park in the southern hemisphere. It will be around four times bigger than the size of all the theme parks on the Gold Coast combined. And bigger than many other theme parks in the world, with Disneyland Adelaide being its third biggest theme park. And this means Adelaide can be Australia’s new theme park capital!
Disneyland Adelaide would feature many attractions, including a range of roller coaster rides, a water park, an aquarium, a horse park, a sports park, games arcade, motorsport park, film studio, castles, parade area, a casino, a cinema and a variety of hotels, restaurants, shops, bars and clubs. It will be a theme park for all ages, but with a specific emphasis on young people.
I would estimate that this new theme park would attract around 15 million visitors per year, making it South Australia’s most visited tourist attraction and among the top 5 most visited theme parks in the world! This would significantly boost Adelaide and South Australia's international profile!
With Disneyland located in a city closest to the centre of Australia, it is within a 3 1/2 hour flight range to all corners of Australia.
Disneyland Adelaide will also create about 50000 new jobs, some to be directly employed by Disneyland and others in supporting industries. This will be a much-needed boost to South Australia’s economy. And what better place to create a theme park than the site of Parafield Airport in northern Adelaide, an area with a high unemployment rate, huge growth potential and a distance away from entertainment precincts in Adelaide and Glenelg, and Adelaide’s metropolitan beaches.
So far, Disneyland has sites in California, Florida, Hong Kong, Paris, Shanghai and Tokyo. Could Adelaide be the site of the newest Disneyland?
