With the new Toy Story Land set to be operational next year, Iger said his company is ready to further invest in this landmark resort to make it even bigger, a topic discussed during a meeting with Shanghai Mayor Ying Yong on Thursday.
"This is an amazing place that is beyond our most ambitious expectations," Iger said. "We are proud that we've built something that is culturally relevant ... and so embraced by the Chinese people."
The visitor turnout would place Shanghai Disneyland among the top 10 amusement parks in the world by attendance, on the benchmark of 2016 statistics by the Themed Entertainment Association and consultancy Aecom.
