Magician Doug Henning says he and Indian guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi will build a $1 billion theme park in Orlando, Fla., practically in Walt Disney World's back yard, featuring magic and Eastern-style meditation.
The park will open in 1993 on 450 acres and offer 38 major attractions focusing on the themes of knowledge, enlightenment and entertainment, he said.It will include a courtyard of illusions and a building apparently suspended above water.
The park will be the flagship of similar parks in the Netherlands, Brazil, Canada and Japan, Henning was quoted as telling The Orlando Sentinel.
