“Abu Dhabi is a city on the water,” Riddley, SVP global creative strategy, explained, “and so we’re really excited about being able to incorporate water for the first time in the design of one of our castles.”
Disney CEO Bob Iger previously described it as their “first real modern castle” and said, “You start thinking about what is possible, actually envisioning a castle rising up in this case from the sand and also being on the water.”
Iger also said the park will be their “most technologically advanced.” Disney is developing it with Miral Group, who will own and operate the park. According to Miral, it will be an indoor theme park.
Disney recently registered possible names for the Abu Dhabi resort, which is only unofficially called Disneyland Abu Dhabi.
