Citing unnamed sources, the Edge said the theme park, to be located in Bardar Nusajaya in the Iskandar development zone, would be ready six years after a deal was signed, according to early proposals.
The proposed Disneyland theme park and resort is slated to be bigger than Hong Kong Disneyland and about the size of Tokyo Disney Resort, it was quoted saying.
The Malaysian government has a brand-new US$105 billion masterplan to develop the southern tip of Johor state into a regional economic zone.
Although the talks with Disney are progressing fast, discussions with other theme park operators, including Warner Bros Entertainment and MGM have not ended, Reuters quoted the paper as saying.
“However, a deal with Walt Disney looks most promising as it has expressed its seriousness and has come out with specifications on its requirements,” it quoted a source as saying.
