When Disneyland opened in 1955, it proved an instant success. Sixteen years later it spawned a bigger sister the 27,000-acre Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Tokyo Disneyland followed in 1983.
Then it was Europe’s turn. After weighing some 200 places across the continent, the company settled on a fantastic site near Paris which the French government was offering. For a bargain price, Disney bought nearly 5,000 acres, 20 miles east of the capital. Final contracts were signed in March 1987, and soon some 10,000 construction workers were digging and building and wiring and painting.
When I visited the site last August, it looked more like a battlefield than an amusement park. How, I wondered, would 150 million cubic feet of churned up earth become, within nine months, a resort containing Sleeping Beauty’s castle and 29 other attractions, 360,000 trees and shrubs, 20 bridges, six hotels, five swimming pools, 50 restaurants and snack bars, 100 shops, 1,051 robots and a Mississippi River steamboat?
"They will need a magic wand to finish it on time," said a cynical French friend. But the Disney people have been in the magic wand business for well over half a century.
选项
答案
迪斯尼乐园于1955年开放,事实很快证明了它的成功。16年后,它有了一个个头更大的妹妹——位于佛罗里达州的奥兰多、占地27,000英亩的沃尔特?迪斯尼乐园。1983年,东京的迪斯尼乐园又落成了。 接着轮到欧洲。迪斯尼公司在整个欧洲大陆考察、比较了大约200个地方后,选中了由法国政府提供的、位于巴黎附近的一块很大的场地,并廉价买下了这片位于首都以东20英里处将近5,000英亩的土地。1987年3月,双方签署了最终合同。不久,一万名左右的建筑工人就在那儿挖土、建造、布电线、粉刷了。 在我去年8月间参观时,这个工地看上去更像战场而不像游乐园。我真不知道,1.5亿立方英尺翻腾搅拌的土方,怎么会在9个月之内变为一个包括睡美人城堡和另外29个胜境、 36万棵树木、20座桥梁、6座旅馆、5个游泳池、50家饭店和快餐厅、100家商店、1,051个机器人和一艘密西西比河轮船的游乐园? “他们想按时完工,得有魔杖才行。”一个爱挖苦人的法国朋友说。然而,迪斯尼人从事的正是魔杖的事业,而且已经干了足足半个多世纪。
