HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

I don’t think Paris wants a Night Parade. No Reason why PTN can't Return before 20th Momentous.
I saw a Youtube comment from someone who claimed to have insider information that PTN would return sometime during the 20th. Then again it is just a YouTube comment so take it with a massive grain of salt.

Hey... the fact that HKDL has been playing "When Can We Do This Again" (by owl city) outside in the park promenade and also in the castle hub ever since 20th Anniversary started..

In the new "We Call It Imagineering" episode, the Monsters Inc float from Paint the Night is seen in the float warehouse in HKDL. (Time: 8:40)

I don't think they'd need to open the park later to run paint the night. Back in December 2016 the park was open 10:30-8pm and ran PtN at 7pm, or open until 8:30/9pm and ran it at 7:30pm. In July 2016 they also ran it at 8pm when the park was open until 9.

I really hope they are going to bring it back soon!

There is no way that Disney would post this video, knowing fans would examine every millisecond with a microscope, and not bring PTN back. If PTN was never coming back, they would’ve excluded that scene. This has to be a teaser for its return.

By the way, is there any news on construction of the Pixar expansion and the Spidey Tower? We know there must be some work since the RR is closed but it’s been very radio silent. I see people posting spy shots of the Shanghai coaster. There are even photos now of activity in the expansion pad next to Indie in DisneySea, where Frozen was originally proposed before merging into Fantasy Springs. Yet, there is nothing coming out of Hong Kong.

When I was there on the 28th of June I took a look at the Pixar expansion site from the toy soldiers ride. It was still just a big patch of dirt then with no signs of any structure being built yet. The only thing I remember seeing was one excavator/digger on the site.

I pretty sure they don't even have plans set out yet for what the "Pixar-entertainment" area is going to be like, they are probably still in Bluesky or R&D. I have a feeling that the Spiderman TOT will open just before the park reaches it's 25th anniversary, assuming that work hasn't start yet over in that area.

I mean, I've mentioned this before but HKDL has added "When can we do this again?" to the castle hub and park promenade music loop soooooo....

That's a very odd comment, you must not have watched it. It's pretty good for what is a marketing video.

Timestamped; the host of the video oversaw PTN.


Weird comment, but now I rewatched it. I just realized that they used another version of the Cantonese announcement, this announcement was probably recorded before they finalized the Chinese name for "Friendtastic!". If you've seen videos of Friendtastic!, the Cantonese announcement doesn't call it "Friendtastic!" but it's Chinese name instead.

I can’t imagine that the location is pie in the sky considering they have already put up walls and starting ripping down the bamboo

We don’t know if the railroad is closed because of TOT or the Pixar location but what’s the benefit to ripping down the shielding bamboo and replacing it with ugly construction walls if you still have zero idea what you plan to do with that plot

Not at all. And yes I have.

I’m going back to HKDL. I’d really like to see PTN there. But I don’t put any merit in its return by what’s seen in this video.

Oh not at all, I too think it doesn’t mean a thing.

I just meant your comment that they didn’t even know what it was - was a bit needlessly critical and inaccurate.

I think during the annual legislative meeting from last year, Michael Moriarty stated that the 20th Anniversary would include a returning attraction. If not PTN, then what other attraction could be returning?
