LAKE BUENA VISTA -- There has been growing buzz that Walt Disney World may be planning a new theme park that would be aimed at adults.
Disney neither confirmed, nor denied reports on Internet blogs concerning a new park that would hold just 2,000 people at a time, and be built near Pleasure Island.
The blogs claim Disney would open its new park, called "Disney's Night Kingdom," in the fall of 2011.
The park would only be open 4 p.m. to midnight, and not offer traditional rides, but instead have attractions like rock-climbing, zip-lining, and a safari tour that would require night vision goggles.
Rick Fogleson, author of the critical book, "Married to the Mouse," told News 13 an adult-leaning park would be a savvy way to convince more adults to spend their money at Disney.
"In essence, what it does is to bring back people who came as kids, but to bring them back as young adults, but to bring them back with adult experiencesb" Fogleson said.
The Internet blogs claimed the new park would not come cheap. Reports put cost of admission around $300.
A Disney spokeswoman only told News 13 many ideas they explore never become a reality, but if and when Disney planned to make an announcement, it would be done in grand Disney fashion.
