Ex-Disney executive Noble Coker has left Wanda, the latest departure of a first-rate employee with international expertise. Not a good omen for the theme park department's future. Now there is little hope we'll ever get to see a quality theme park made by Wanda.

Wanda theme parks currently under construction are in Wuxi and Xishuangbanna, plus the much-anticipated Qingdao Movie Studio theme park.

Maybe the unlimited budget did not extend into the area of design despite the fact that well known designers were involved

Congratulations to the Star Tours, Terminator and Transformers rip offs! It seems unlimited budget doesn't translate into unlimited imagination in the Wanda headquarters.

Finally some proper pictures from inside Wanda Wuhan Movie theme park. Looks like LOTS OF knock offs from Universal and the like.
