A manga-inspired theme park is set to be developed near Paris as part of a wider group of three new parks that have received approval following a €6bn investment from Saudi Arabia.
The manga-themed development is the only one of the three parks identified in the available announcement. No details have yet been provided about the themes, names or locations of the other two projects, while the exact site of the attraction near Paris has also not been specified.
It is not yet clear whether the €6bn will fund all three parks directly or how the investment will be allocated between them. The available information also does not identify the Saudi investor or investors, the companies responsible for construction, or any operating partners involved in the developments.
Important commercial and delivery details remain unknown, including when building work is expected to start, the planned opening dates and the projected cost of each park. No information has been released on visitor capacity, ticket prices or the attractions that would form part of the manga-inspired site.
For now, the green light establishes that the three developments can move forward following the Saudi investment. Further announcements will be needed to clarify the projects’ ownership, financing structure, construction timetable and the specific manga properties, if any, that will feature at the park near Paris.
