Disney Park an Urban Legend

A Disney park in South Texas? Say it isn't so! :)

OK, this has almost no validity to this rumor, but it is a rather interesting article on how Disney is such a huge name, and that even the slightest hint of anything can suddenly blow up into "Disney is building a park here!"

But contrary to popular belief, Walt Disney's plans for a theme park in South Texas are nothing more than an urban legend. It is a myth that has grown with an amazing virulence.

"Disney will build a theme park on the moon before they build one in San Antonio," said Dennis Speigel, president of Cincinnati-based International Theme Park Services Inc.


Whoa! Don't say that! The moon people will now start their own rumors of "Disney is building a park on the moon!"

But how did one of these urban legend started anyway?

"If somebody comes to town wearing a Disney T-shirt, that's enough to start a rumor," said Paul Serff, president of the Texas Travel Industry Association and former general manager of Fiesta Texas (pre-Six Flags).


Oh no! This could easily be MY FAULT! I go around many places wearing Disney T-shirts, both in and out of the country. Could I have inadvertently been the one who actually is the cause all of these rumors?

Oh my!
