The Happyland Theme Park (Disney Land) is the main cornerstone of the Khang Thong Entertainment City in Vietnam, for which New Jersey-based Hill International is providing project and construction management services.
Located nearly 30 kilometers southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, the theme park is being designed to world-class standards - similar to a Disney or Universal Studio destination park - and will call for about 40 hectares (98.8 acres) of project development.
Designed in a circular configuration, the project includes eight distinctly different zones, which are themed to unique animated characters.
In support of the theme park animated characters, a working three-stage film studio is currently under construction.
Once completed, the studios will produce animated films that develop the story line of the theme park characters, thus building interest in the local populous prior to opening.
The Khang Thong Entertainment City, spread over nearly 268 hectares (662.24 acres), also includes several unique attractions that are not normally associated with theme parks. These include a Vietnamese Cultural Center and a 3-kilometer Boardwalk.
The Vietnamese Culture Center Site is designed to resemble the shape of the country and will highlight foods, architecture, culture, dress, to name a few from the northern, central and southern regions of Vietnam.
For its part, the Boardwalk will be built on the southern shore of the Vam Co Dong river and will include multi-functional uses, such as a night time entertainment district, a floating market, a themed boardwalk connecting various facilities within the development and multiple landing platforms for river transportation to and from Ho Chi Minh City.
The construction program for the project is being sequenced in three phases. Phase 1, which is scheduled to be completed by 2015, will include the works mentioned above and will also include a 1,000-room 5-star hotel, a VIP Guest Villa, and administrative and all back of house support facilities. Phases 2 and 3 will further expand the property to include convention/exhibition centers, a shopping mall, five additional hotels and a museum.
The Happy Land facility will be owned by Phu An Investment Construction and Infrastructure Development of Vietnam and the first phase of development is estimated to cost some US$600 million. The project is planned to be Southeast Asia's major tourist attraction, serving the recreational and entertainment needs of both domestic residents and foreign tourists.
The construction of the Disney theme park in Vietnam comes at a time with Asian states reporting growths on their gross domestic product (GDP).
A similar facility is also planned in India - Asia's third-largest economy after China and Japan - and will be built in either Gurgaon in the north or Bangalore in the south.
