From: Keith Van Hulle on 28 Aug 2006 22:19 Must be the week for rumors to rise from the dead. Read my lips "Ain't gonna happen". Besides all the other good answers, it won't work, if for no other reason than the weather. Let's see, July and August, this year and more than once before, ends up with a string of 30-40 days over 100. With close to the humidity of Orlando. Much of the Dallas area is in water rationing now. But let's not forget the ice storms and days where the temp may never get above 25. And unless you've experienced a wet fall or spring, you really can't imagine what the rainy season is like. Oh yeah, don't forget hail storms that can decimate whole neighborhoods (some companies don't even insure in Texas any more because of them). Did I mention the location is also right at the bottom of Tornado Alley which happen much more regularly then hurricanes? Sure, everyone would love to have this but . . .

Another US park therefore has been seriously considered. Eisner wanted a US themed park. They still have the blue prints to VA's Disney. Many times Imagineers ideas die hard.

They are building a second major mall on 380. The plans estimate a total population of 250,000 and 10 high schools. YOu have major world headquarters in Frisco and across the border in Plano. Little Elm is growing by leaps and bounds, McKinney is expanding. Prosper is growing. Not out of the realm of possibility to have 1 million residents within 20 miles of proposed Disney park, not to mention the millions in Dallas ft worth. Someday you will receive an email from me, Dillion saying I told you so ; )

Japan's main street is enclosed because of weather problems. 100 degree weather is not pleasant but the humidity has not been that of Orlando. It is a dryer heat and water mists cool considerably especially with a breeze. Tornados...nothing near us in Plano in years. OK still gets most of the tornados. Here is a quote from the texas corridor site Dillion added: "The current population of our state is about 22 million. By 2030, forecasters predict we'll have as many as 36 million people who live, work and drive in Texas. The majority will move to our urban areas, where we simply cannot expand our existing highway system fast enough to accommodate transportation demands. (Some cities will need 16-lane highways or more to adequately meet their needs.) Often, where limited room is available for expansion, the costs to purchase and relocate businesses and homes have skyrocketed. In short, the current system of building and funding roads will not meet Texas' needs 25 or 50 years from now. It will take new solutions." A major highway, the largest in the country for travel from Mexico throughout texas. Of course it will be near Dallas. North Texas is expanding rapidly with multiple toll roads. Perhaps to accomodate thousands of visitors to a new Disney Park???
From: Jennifer K. on 1 Sep 2006 18:17 I swear to you that if I could live anywhere in the world, it would be Dallas. I love the weather there, year round. I was there in late July. It's a dry heat. :o) Jennifer (in Delaware) > I agree to an extent.

So Cal, Florida, Paris, Hong Kong, Tokyo, soon to be Shanghai, and a proposed park that never happened on the outskirts of DC. Just my .02 --- Yet another satisfied customer of Bartender Sam! |
