As we all know, David Archuleta has mentioned that one of the places he still would like to visit is Japan, and with recent developments in Asia, Amusement Parks live entertainment seems to be on the upward trend. David has a huge fanbase in Asia and it definitely would be a media event. Oh my gosh, I just remembered theme park, maybe David could sing “You’re The Voice,” much to Simon Cowell’s chagrin. Just to set the record straight, I loved David’s version of “You’re The Voice,” by John Farnham. Alright, I love everything David sings!
A concert tour in Asia would be great fun and saving all my pennies might be a good start! Who else wants to go?
The entire article is very interesting. The following is just a highlighted segment.

HONG KONG — In four years the world’s largest Universal Studios is set to open outside of Seoul at a cost of $2.7 billion. With much public fanfare, Disney recently received approval to break ground on a $3.6 billion outpost in Shanghai. Meanwhile Hong Kong’s two amusement parks are spending over $1 billion to expand and modernize their facilities.
Attendance may be stagnating in some parts of the world, but a growing middle class with disposable incomes to match is making the Asia-Pacific region a prime target for investors and theme park owners
In some ways, theme parks the world over are all alike. But while many covet bigger and faster rides, Asian amusement-seekers in particular take a shine to elaborate live entertainment. Shows often take a cultural bent, Aaen says, and can feature hundreds of actors and dancers on stage with animals, myriad special effects and high-tech scenery.
In a trendy twist, the performances can even include pop stars. In recent months Malaysia’s biggest park, Sunway Lagoon, has highlighted performances by Ne-Yo, the Black Eyed Peas and American Idol runner-up David Archuleta.
