SALALAH BEACH WATERPARK
Bringing in new entertainment to its ever growing Salalah Beach destination, Muriya is introducing an iconic waterpark in the Dhofar Governorate. The all‐new aquatic experience promises to deliver sensory thrills unlike any other.

Expected to be operational end of 2017, the waterpark will be built on an area of 35,000 sqm and will include diverse amenities catering to all ages. Up to 1500 people daily will have the chance to body surf, dive under the crashing waves, and swim the day away in the wave pool, or float along in the leisure river. Another prime attraction will be the children’s area, featuring a large water play structure with slides, waterfalls and features that will provide fun for the entire family.

The waterpark will also offer various rides designed for thrill‐seekers and families alike, including a mix of body and tube slides with both open and closed flumes. Whether it is a weekend trip for some quality time with the family or tourists unwinding after a long journey, Muriya’s new waterpark in Salalah will provide an attraction never before experienced in Oman.

BREAKING: Shanghai Disneyland breaks ground on Toy Story Land which will open in 2018

We started the expansion even before opening Shanghai Disneyland in anticipation of its immense popularity in Mainland China. The characters from Toy Story have been well liked in China ever since the release of the first film in the franchise back in 1995, and Shanghai Disney Resort already has the only resort hotel in the world dedicated to the characters and stories from Toy Story. Our guests can’t get enough of Buzz, Woody and all of their pals, which made Toy Story an obvious choice for Shanghai Disneyland’s first expansion.

Satellite imagery of the Toy Story Land area from as recent as a few months ago can be seen in an earlier post below in this thread.

Disney have filed a patent for an "interactive" hotel room.

For instance, right now if one plays a car racing game on a computer, they not only drive the cars, they also hear them, hear other cars, hear the crowd, see fiery crashes, hear the explosions, and the game play is back-grounded by emotional music and the like. If they play with a slot car, they only get to drive a car. There are few sounds, certainly no background music to amp up the emotions. When they play on a screen, the world is completely surrounding and immersive, they only have to move by brain through the frame of the screen bezel and they are into another world. If they play in their room, none of this is true. The goal of the projector with its camera and audio attachments of the display systems described herein is to allow a room, where ever the room is located, to become as immersive as any screen environment or even more so.

Disney in patent documents said the technology could be used in the amusement park setting or in a hotel lobby, but many of the descriptions are for inside the hotel room or in private homes.
