Kotaku.com recently posted a follow-up regarding Joyland - the theme park in China that has apparently borrowed a lot of inspiration from various video game properties, including StarCraft and Warcraft. Kotaku.com is reporting that work is progressing rapidly:
A report on Chinese news shows that work has continued on the site, and there are now actually buildings there, many of them looking dangerously close to being finished. So if you figured the park was vapourware, you may be wrong!
With an original projected opening date of "May", that's now been clarified as being May 1, with an opening ceremony scheduled for April 29.
It is unknown whether Blizzard or any other intellectual property owner has attempted to stop the completion of the park. Even if one of them did, it would likely be an expensive and possibly pointless exercise since China's record regarding copyright enforcement is a constant subject of international debate. As the park draws closer to opening, if StarCraft: Legacy hears any more, we'll pass it on.
