Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro told USA TODAY the new theme park will be “like no other park that we've built before.”

Walt Disney Co.’s seventh theme park destination will be in the United Arab Emirates, on a relatively new tourist island already packed with amusement parks, a golf course, indoor skydiving and a stadium.

CEO Bob Iger said the company's "imagineers" have already started designing the park, but he declined to say when it would open.
