Marne-la-Vallée, Tuesday, 25 November 2025.
Disney Adventure World’s supplier list at Marne‑la‑Vallée now includes China’s Fantawild alongside Vekoma, Wärtsilä, UFO Lighting, Vivaticket and multiple theming and engineering partners — a noteworthy pivot that signals growing Chinese IP and operator participation in Western greenfield parks. For retail and venue operators this matters: cross‑border teams and a fragmented, high‑tech supply chain raise programme‑management, systems‑integration and regulatory‑compliance stakes ahead of phased openings. Immediate watch points are procurement and contracting models, ride‑to‑theming interface management, handover and maintenance agreements, and how licensing/operational responsibilities will be divided. The presence of vendors experienced in high‑capacity, IP‑driven parks suggests potential gains in guest throughput and IP activation — but also a need for tighter governance over safety standards and long‑term asset management. Expect schedule risk and intensified coordination between local contractors and global suppliers to shape construction milestones announced as recently as last week.
