According to Blooloop, as well as various Japanese media sources, a $1.2bn theme park is being built in Yokohama in Japan, a region not too far from Tokyo. The park is apparently being built on 242 hectares of land that were agreed for theme park use in April 2020, and it is said to be similar in size to Tokyo Disneyland.
Perhaps the most interesting part is that a major Hollywood studio is backing the project, and its properties will be the theme of the park. With both Universal and Disney owning theme parks in Japan already, I’m guessing it won’t be either of them; maybe it’s Warner Bros or Paramount?
No opening date has currently been announced.

What do you guys think to this potentially very exciting news?
