In the U.S., Disney’s first attraction, Disneyland, founded the industry. In |
|Florida, Disney’s attraction converted an unknown swamp into America’s premier tourist destination and |
|attraction market, and in Japan, Tokyo Disneyland spurred growth of the Japanese theme park industry. We |
|believe Disney will have a significant impact on the attractions’ industry in France and Europe. This |
|impact will be in six key areas: |
|EuroDisney will expand the overall European theme park industry and focus the industry in Paris by |
|creation of a multi-park destination attraction complex. |
|Disney will educate the market as to the theme park product, the quality of the theme park experience, |
|and the value of the pay-one-price admission for a day of quality entertainment. |
