Russia Opens Fairy-Tale Theme Park

Russia's answer to Disneyland opened its doors to the public Saturday, promising home-grown wonder for children of all ages.

The complex covers 30 hectares in an industrial neighborhood in southern Moscow, and is aiming to be one of the biggest and the best theme parks in the world.
