Fireworks are an important attraction for visitors to Disneyland, but the mega park set to open in Shanghai will have to comply with firework bans on polluted days.

Fireworks at a Disneyland.

An official from the city's fire department said all firework shows will be prohibited without exception when the air quality index is above 201.

It was added that Shanghai has a licensing system that bans large-scale firework shows without approval.

Fan Xiping, chairman of Shanghai Shendi Group, Chinese partner of Walt Disney Co, said the theme park is located outside the Shanghai outer ring, and is therefore not normally restricted by the firework ban. However, the park will minimize the effects of spectacular pyrotechnics on the local environment and use fireworks that are the most advanced and environmentally friendly.

Disney's first theme park on the Chinese mainland will officially open to visitors on June 16 in Shanghai.
