Asia is becoming home to a growing number of major theme parks as the region?s wealth and leisure time grows.

This is good news for families based in Asia who used to have to travel as far afield as Orlando to get their theme park fix. Now, the likes of Universal Studios, Disneyland and Legoland are on their doorsteps with more to follow.

One of the more exciting projects will see Disney build its first theme park in China with a ?2.3bn?1?opening at the end of 2015\. The Shanghai Disney Resort is expected to feature a Disneyland, two themed hotels and an 11 acre green space.
