2. Orlando Disney theme park
Why did this city develop into the theme park capital of the world? Why did the gold owner who built the theme park choose to build the park here? How does this city, which is prosperous because of the animation industry, meet the latest industrial wave in the world?
The prosperity of Orlando in the United States may bring beneficial enlightenment to many cities that cannot find alternative industries.
1. From Citrus Orchard to Air Force Base
Florida, where Orlando is located, is at the southernmost tip of the United States. When Europeans first came here in the16th century, it was still a forest and swamp full of mosquitoes and crocodiles. People once thought it was uninhabitable, so they were called barbarian land by pioneers.
Florida has a nickname "Sunshine State". Indeed, the Florida Peninsula extends southward to the Caribbean, with long coastline, low latitude and abundant sunshine.
However, this climate did not bring much tangible benefits to the economy here before the 20th century, except that sufficient sunshine can promote the growth of crops.
Orlando is also located inside the peninsula. Historically, most people here can only engage in logging, land reclamation, crop cultivation, livestock breeding and other agriculture and animal husbandry.
From 1875 to 1895, it was the golden age when Orlando became the center of Florida. American citrus industry. However, the extremely cold climate from 1894 to 1895 made Orlando citrus suffer greatly. Many farmers gave up their citrus orchards and moved to the Great Lakes region to engage in industrial production, or left the United States directly for the Caribbean.
Orlando's main industry is agriculture, which was changed by World War II. During World War II, the US military established McCaughey Air Force Base in the southeast of Orlando 16 km.
Air Force Base and National Defense Company have built many facilities and factories near Orlando, especially the establishment of 1962 Kennedy Space Center, which has brought a lot of employment opportunities and rich income to Orlando.
Orlando in this period mainly provided supporting services for the base. Before the opening of 197 1 Disneyland, McCaughey Air Force Base was the largest employer and economic pillar in Orlando.
It seems that military facilities that have no direct relationship with the national economy later brought infrastructure to the city to promote the economic prosperity of the United States.
2. Why did Disney choose Orlando?
In the economic recovery after World War II, American animation industry has also become a hot industry, just like the mobile Internet industry in previous years.
Walter Disney, an animator, created a vivid and interesting cartoon image of Mickey Mouse, which was a great success. On this basis, Disney teachers set up their own theme park-Disneyland in Los Angeles according to the characters and stories in their cartoons.
Disney provides a brand-new development model of animation industry for the whole world: starting with animation movies, further selling toys, books and other related products, and finally establishing a large amusement park with animation as the theme, forming a complete animation industry chain.
1965, Walter Disney announced that it would build the second Disney World in Orlando. At that time, Disneyland in Los Angeles was a great success, and parents all over the United States showed off taking their children to Disneyland.
At this moment, Walter Disney is coming to the end of its life, but this decision has given Orlando a starting point and made it the theme park capital of the world.
Why did Disney choose Orlando?
Los Angeles Disneyland is located on the far west coast, which obviously cannot satisfy Americans' love for Disney. Although California, where Los Angeles is located, has a large population, the eastern part of the United States is also a densely populated area with strong spending power.
So Disney decided to open the eastern market quickly.
Choosing a theme park depends on the climatic conditions first. After all, this is an industry where the wind is halved and the snow is gone.
As far as climatic conditions are concerned, warm Florida is the best choice for the eastern United States. There is suitable weather here all year round. After World War II, Americans from the north went to Florida for the winter in succession, just as Northeasters like to buy houses in Hainan in recent years.
When choosing the Disney theme park in Florida, Walter Disney once considered Miami and other coastal areas. But considering that the Caribbean is often hit by hurricanes, Miami is often the first to bear the brunt. Therefore, the inland location of Orlando China has become an advantage.
In addition, the aforementioned McCaughey Air Force Base began to build some civil aviation facilities in the 1960s. The construction of interstate highways in 1950s and 1960s also made Orlando's transportation infrastructure more favorable.
After Disney finally settled in Orlando, the theme parks in the world's S capital began to open.
After the opening of Orlando Disney World in 197 1, it brought explosive growth in population and economy. After Disney World and Universal Studios were built in Orlando, one out of every four jobs in Orlando was related to tourism.
Thirdly, healthy competition stimulated the birth of theme park capital.
Walter Disney started the prosperity of Disney Company, but after his death, the company's development did not slow down.
Disney has created many popular movies, such as Finding Nemo, Alice in Wonderland, Frozen, Snow White and The Lion King.
Disneyland makes full use of these animated images to build a real and beautiful fantasy kingdom for people, making visitors feel like they are in a movie.
When Disney World opened in 197 1, it consisted of the Dream Kingdom theme park, two hotels and two golf courses. Subsequently, Disney opened the Future World Park in 1982, the Disney Hollywood Studio in 1989 and the Animal Kingdom in 1998.
Disney's success quickly attracted competitors, because they all knew that if they wanted to catch up with or even surpass Disney, they had to build their own theme parks around their strongest competitors.
Disney tourist attractions are the source of tourists in Orlando and the major theme parks in the United States. Compared with Disney, different theme parks also have their own characteristics.
Universal Studios is the biggest competitor of Disney theme parks. It was originally rebuilt in Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA. Tourists are sent to the shooting scene of Hollywood blockbusters by tourist buses, allowing tourists to experience the most thrilling, exciting and attractive scenes in blockbusters.
Universal Studios Orlando opened in 1990, and the new Adventure Island Park opened in 1999. Although Universal Studios Orlando has not been rebuilt in Hollywood Studios, it still retains the Hollywood essence projects of Universal Studios California, and adds more exciting participation projects, which are deeply loved by young people and attract a steady stream of tourists.
Ocean World Orlando opened in Orlando Disneyland for two years, and it soon opened in 1973, and opened Discovery Bay Park in 2000.
Subsequently, various theme parks such as Happy Point USA (1997), Holy Land Experience (2002) and legoland (20 1 1) seized the Orlando market.
At present, Orlando has 65,438+05 theme parks, accounting for 7 of the 65,438+00 theme parks in North America (5 of the top 65,438+00 in the world).
With the vigorous development of theme parks, various water parks, marine life aquariums and the Eye of Orlando, Madame Tussauds has also attracted a lot of gold for Orlando.
At present, more than 72 million tourists come to Orlando every year, which is 260 times the population of this city! Orlando is the most popular tourist destination in America.
