In October 2008, Oriental Land Company announced that it had shelved plans for a new Disney complex in Fukuoka, Japan. The company and Disney had spent more than a year studying an urban-style amusement facility for 2010 or later, but decided that the expected investment return would not justify the project. The firm said it would continue to explore possibilities for a new business, which might not involve Disney.
