Also es gibt wohl eine Pressemitteilung vom 22.05.2000 (!!):

<...>
A member of the Executive Board of Ata Holding Company, Erhan Kurdoglu, said, "We made an agreement in principle for the implementation of the Disneyland project, which we expect to amount to nearly 1.6 billion dollars according to the first calculations. During the meeting that we held with the officials from Walt Disney administration, they told us that they would meet half of the investment cost."

Und wenn jetzt immernoch (Meldungen von Ende 2010) von einem Disneyland und der Walt Disney Company die Rede ist, kann man zumindest ein recht starkes Interesse vermuten.
