Last Saturday in my article about the upcoming Van Eaton auction, i've posted a picture of a never-seen-before concept map done by Jim Michaelson, according to the auction catalog for Shanghaî Disneyland. The catalog says that it was done in 2009 and feature the earliest ideas of how will look the park and attractions, with a giant Tower of the Four Winds in its center.
Shortly after i posted the article a D&M reader left this comment: "The first thing that came to mind when I saw the "Shanghai Disneyland" concept map is that this is Hot-Go Park in Fushun, China. I'm pretty sure it's not a Disney rendering, especially with all the roller coasters."
So, i've been looking to the artwork for this Hot-Go Park in Fushun, the one below, and undoubtedly there is more than similarities between the two artworks ( see above and below ) apart the giant tower of the fours winds, so i'm tempted to think, just like him, that this Jim Michaelson artwork was not done for Shanghaî Disneyland.
Your thoughts?

No doubt, it's Hot-Go Park
I believe it is not Shanghai Disney because of many elements: The parking lot just in front of the entrance, the castle as entrance, the coasters, the overall size, … all of this is not very ‘Disney’
