The brief
This development precedes official talks between French President Macron and Saudi Crown Prince MBS. The primary focus of these discussions is the multi-stage project aimed at establishing three entertainment facilities, with an emphasis on properties such as Dragon Ball Z. Bloomberg.com and Deadline report a total investment of $7 billion for the three proposed sites.
Reuters specifies a figure of €6 billion linked specifically to a Dragon Ball Z theme park project. This variance in total valuation and specific naming conventions represents the primary distinction across current reporting. The administrative details regarding the timeline for construction or the specific locations near Paris have not yet been specified by the French presidency.
Officials have confirmed that the project serves as a cornerstone of the diplomatic agenda for the host and the visiting Crown Prince.
