In our previous episode we discussed why Disney chose the Middle East and Abu Dhabi in particular. Now we’ll discuss if this announcement is even realistic and what it would mean for the region.

The UAE isn’t shy of big announcements; Universal Studios, Six Flags, 20th Century Fox and several other themed parks never saw the light of day. So what makes this time different?

There are also real-world challenges not to be overlooked: the heat, the sun, and the speculation around whether a full-scale theme park can thrive year-round in the hot desert. Clearly not a place to repeat what has been done elsewhere, so the perfect occasion for innovation and progress?

We're exploring what’s possible, what should be considered and what remarkable scenario could unfold in the future.

Of course, with opportunity comes controversy. How will Disney navigate the complex social, political, and cultural landscape of the region?
