Disneylands are some of the biggest attractions in the world. As a matter of fact, the biggest amusement park in the world is the Magic Kingdom Park which is located in Florida’s Orlando. Even in countries like Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong, Disneyland is one of the biggest attractions and crores of people throng to it to experience its magic and fun. It is worth wondering, therefore, why India hasn’t gotten a Disneyland yet.
Why Is There No Disneyland In India?

According to an article which was published in Business Standard in 2013, India didn’t have the required infrastructure to support Disneyland. Andy Bird, who was the chairperson of Walt Disney International at the time, was cited in the article stating that theme parks require massive infrastructural support like roadways, airports, etc. India, at the time, still had a long way to go as per the chairperson.
A number of other considerations also come into play, such as the temperature of the country as well as the economic conditions of potential visitors. Though India has a large population, it is no secret that a visit to Disneyland could burn a sizeable hole in the pockets of visitors. As such, it is believed that a huge chunk of the Indian population would not be able to afford regular visits there.
5 Cities That Would Be Perfect To Have One
The following Indian cities would be perfect for a Disneyland in India!
1. Bengaluru
The Silicon Valley of India is the perfect city for Disneyland as the ease of access to technology will surely aid in the setup of this expansive theme park.
2. Chennai
Chennai is a breathtaking city as it is. Setting up Disneyland on its outskirts would surely cheer the young local population as well as tourists who visit the city.
3. Delhi
The National Capital has a plethora of iconic sightseeing spots. It is also known for its street food. Imagine how perfect a Disney-themed Khau Galli would be!
4. Hyderabad
