Disneyland Paris fans sign petition against the park demanding higher standards

Posted on 12:39 by the great khali
Broken rides, poor food and a lack of stage shows are part of petition seeking higher standards at Disneyland Parks, according to The Independent.

More than 5,000 park fans signed the petition, which as sent to Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger. Disney owns 39.8 percent of Disneyland Paris.

Guillaume Gallant , a Belgian theme park enthusiast started the petition after a recent visit where he says "that four of the shows had been cancelled, two attractions were closed and food in one of the most expensive restaurants appeared to have been re-heated," according to The Independent.

A spokesperson for Disneyland Paris says that “both The Walt Disney Company and the management of Disneyland Paris are dedicated to ensuring that our resort offers each of its guests a magical experience, according to the The Express.

Even before its opening in 1992 Disneyland Paris has had problems. At first, the construction of the park was controversial with critics calling the park "cultural imperialism" from America.

Financially the park did not see a quarterly profit until 1995 and has suffered from financial hardships since then. The park is owned partially by the Walt Disney Company and Euro Disney S.C.A. In 2002,  The Walt Disney Company agreed to write off the $100 million Euro debt that Euro Disney S.C.A. owed to The Walt Disney Company.
Last year the staff went on strike seeking a 4 percent pay increase compare to the 1.5 percent being offered.
