New amusement park expected to open next year, but still no indication of entry, ride prices

The Walt Disney Co on Wednesday unveiled details of its planned $5.5 billion theme park in Shanghai which it expects to open next year, with its top executive insisting "crowd management and safety" will be top priorities.

Robert Iger, Disney's chairman and chief executive, showed off a huge model of the resort at the Shanghai Expo Center on Wednesday, promising new attractions not found in its other resorts, calling the giant facility Disney's most technologically innovative park yet.
