Lahore’s ‘Disneyland’ to be constructed on Lahore-Islamabad Motorway

[Edevelop]

LAHORE: Lahore’s Disneyland-like theme park will be constructed on the Lahore-Islamabad M-2 Motorway near Kala Shah Kaku, The Express Tribune learnt on Tuesday.

Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) Director General Shakeel Ahmad confirmed that after surveying different sites, the Chinese company, Golden Bean, has decided to build the country’s first Disneyland-style theme park on the M-2 Motorway.

“It is a huge project and will take around two years to complete,” he added.

Lahore Division Commissioner Abdullah Khan Sumbal said that the Punjab government is playing the role of a facilitator in the project.

The Chinese company has committed to invest Rs32 billion in the project. “Golden Bean will work on construction, procurement of land and execution of the project,” Sumbal said.

The commissioner added that the provincial government has guaranteed uninterrupted electricity supply through special feeders for the project. “The government would also build an approach road for the proposed amusement park,” he added.

Further, Sumbal said the proposed theme park would also have a five-star hotel, water aquarium, business and shopping centers, state-of-the-art rides and a breathtaking rollercoaster.

An official in the commissioner’s office disclosed that the Punjab government showed three sites to Chinese investors in the province, including Raiwind Road and Kala Shah Kaku, for the theme park. However, Chinese investors preferred Kala Shah Kaku site as it is located on the M-2 Motorway near densely populated districts of Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Sialkot and adjoining areas.

The proposed theme park will be built over an area of 320 to 350 acre and will have direct access from the M-2 Motorway.

Take back your words. Government is not spending a single penny ; its investment from the Chinese. It will provide employment and make Pakistan an attractive destination for tourism.

'on highway'? What does that mean?

It means it needs a big chunk of land, a first step towards building a new city on that site, and an attempt to bring more visitors from adjoining cities like Shahdara, Gujranwala, and Sialkot and from cities like Faisalabad, and Islamabad which are already linked by motorway systems.

What "Chinese replica of Disneyland"? Idiotic American article, as always.

The Wonderland Park Beijing park was a joint development by Reignwood Group (Thai property developer from Bangkok) and Wonderland Park (like that US amusement park from Amarillo, Texas, authentically American!). After construction started, the developers pulled out in 1998, leaving behind a mess. Developers put up lame excuse for their PR stunt like "land price not settled with local government". Not Settled before construction began? What a load of BS. It's either simply bad financial planning meets dried up capital, or fight between developers.

Yes I agree with you Peter, let's pray Wonderland Park, a American company, does not mess up Pakistani soil!

Stop calling this a DisneyLand, it's NOT.

So they are targeting in a way all the populated cities of pakistan... This place will be rocking when it open .. Everyday I see school trips coming to fortress stadium from different cities... This place will become an attraction for school trips from various cities. The idea is not bad and its looking to be huge. Hopefully it goes without a hitch. The nation could use some laughter and joy. Roller coaster is what I am after.
