Legoland Shanghai

The way I understood it, this Legoland theme park will be part of the Legoland Discovery Center. There hasn't been any news of a Legoland amusement park in itself since Mr. Varney announced it last year.

The Danish toy company already established more than 20 stores across China, but it does not stop there, as it plans to open a LEGOLand Discovery Center in Parkside Plaza in Shanghai on April 2. The new project reportedly costs 100 million RMB and will feature a 3,000-square meter mini-LEGOLand.

I am a bit confused. Are we expecting a whole park in the future not just the Discovery Centre opening next month?

I have read a couple of articles and I am still not convinced Nick Varney hasn't been misquoted as saying a park when he may have been talking about Merlin's plans in general? Have we seen anything with location/budget/information? Would be an interesting development to see if it opens near Disneyland like the Orlando version.

Anything new on this?

Any approximate opening date?

A branch of the Legoland amusement park is to open in Shanghai under a likely $300 million (194 million pounds) joint venture investment by Britain's Merlin Entertainments Plc (MERL.L), announced during the state visit to Britain of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
