HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

[lazyboy97o]

Don’t know how it’s going to turn out but they theoretically have over $700 million USD to work with. That is a lot of money. Cars land was just a bit over $400 million and Pandora is $500 million, both of which are fully immersive and massive in size at over 10 acres. Since this money was supposed to go towards that groundbreaking Quinjet ride system, there is potentially a lot of left over money for projects outside Marvel.

Pandora was closer to double that.

i wonder why the original spiderman TOT concept got scrapped...feels like a sudden change considering the fact that they announced it just over a year ago

We don't know if it has or if the other Avengers are just making a cameo in the ride as it's always been set in an Avengers building. The A can be seen in the original concept art

The current castle is around 50m while all tot are 55m+, I wonder if hk’s tot will be taller than the castle or not.

Are you sure? Galaxy's Edge was a billion each not Pandora.

If you include all of the supplementary work that went into DAK during this era I think it was close to a billion. Night safari, Rivers of Light, Harambe Market, Tiffins/Nomad, Tree of Life Awakenings, FOTLK theatre and general infrastructure works on and off-stage.

fair point, but from the description it sounds like the plot got a total overhaul; the previous iteration specifically mentioned the attraction being spider-man-centric, with doctor octopus as the main antagonist, while the updated description is more ambiguous. the ride vehicle also looks to be different from the original concept

Yes, I’m sure. Pandora was very expensive.

Pandora was around half a billion to open. The GEs were 1.05b each (give or take local considerations) to open.

dont get your hopes up haha. judging by the structure of the facade and the ride vehicle, i think it's just gonna be TOT

welp..looks like it.

 

[no.swatz]

That’s so disappointing. It’s already disappointing that it got downgraded to a TOT clone. And now it’s even worse than a TOT clone lol. Like it’s just gonna be a kiddy ride smh

hopefully the tech is cool..

Interesting point here. I think besides not trying to take concept art as an interpretation of literal scale, there's likely a desire to not have it be taller than the castle, even though the two are quite a distance apart from each other I'd imagine?

This will be the only castle park with a ToT, so.

 

[Untitled-Man]

I wonder if they’re going to dig it down like they did with space mountain?

 

[Gusey]

Am I right in thinking that Autopia was lower down than the rest of Tomorrowland? This new attraction is replacing Autopia so could always be built lower than it looks?? It definitely looks shorter that ToT, but not sure if its a force perspective thing too

happy 20th anniversary HKDL!
time really does fly, thank you for growing up with me and accompanying me through all the ups and downs over the last two decades
may you continue to flourish, let’s build more memories together

I actually quite like the Moana retheme of Tahitian Terrace
It tastes good too!

 

[Supersnow84]

I actually don’t have a particular problem with this

I think Disney has realised that marvel just doesnt have the draw it once did and is scrambling to tie off projects that it started when everyone still had marvel fever

The TOT’s are easy to swap around show scenes and I’d rather them just get it done so they can get started on something that really blows guests away. A new park headliner; because as soon as this wasn’t quinjet it was never going to be this ride

 

[Animaniac93-98]

I worry they will change ToT in Paris to this...

Pretty disappointed that the Pixar themed area will be a show
I’d rather have TSMM + Alien Saucers over that site
The park needs more attractions than entertainment
There are already Lion King + Wondrous Book + Moana + Playhouse in the Woods (Frozen) + Castle Stage Show to offer

completely agree. TSL expansion plot looks a bit larger than your average theater, i wonder if theres still gonna be space ofr a flat ride or two
