Dragon Ball Theme Park Near Paris Eyed for Saudi Arabian Funding

A colossal Dragon Ball theme park, potentially rivaling Disneyland Paris and Parc Astérix, might be developed near the French capital, with Saudi Arabia reportedly considering its financing. The ambitious project is currently a closely guarded secret but involves high-level discussions between French authorities and the Saudi kingdom.

Sources indicate that the Élysée Palace has been engaged in talks with Saudi Arabia for several months. The goal is to potentially revive the Mirapolis site in Courdimanche (Val-d'Oise), which has been closed since 1991. The prospect of seeing Goku and his allies in the Paris region has generated excitement among fans, promising a boost to France's tourism appeal.

However, such a venture would also present formidable competition to established theme parks. Disneyland Paris, currently Europe's leading tourist destination, is located approximately 80 kilometers away, while Parc Astérix is situated about 60 kilometers from the potential new site. The potential involvement of Saudi Arabia, particularly figures like Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, suggests a significant financial backing for what could be a massive undertaking.
