New coaster coming to Shanghai???

[denyuntilcaught]

Have even more projects moving along?

My comment was on pacing, not quantity.

Between this, the rapid rise of SM: Earthrise at TDR, WDSP kicking into high gear, and construction already starting on the Pixar Experience at HKDL, seems like work at the international parks is really moving at a fast pace.

Domestic parks, on the other hand...

I wonder if the Spiderman coaster will be the same as the upcoming villain's land coaster. A clone but rethemed to save money perhaps?

Wouldn’t be the first time parks have bought 2 of the same or placed 2 orders for a hefty discount !

Disney's M.O. for this new wave of investment seems to be very anti clone, so I wouldn't expect that

The Spiderman coaster seems to have lots of exposed steel and fit in a very tight footprint whereas I'd hope any Villains coaster would be more heavily themed and intertwined with the land.

Interesting I heard that zootopia wasn’t meeting early projections with it basically just being “same number of guests but now they are in one more land”

Happy news.

Zootopia opened December 20, 2023.

Attendance increased 5% in 2024, substantially more than any of the other top 10 most-visited theme parks.

All due to Zootopia? Probably not, but no doubt it played a significant role in the increase.

(No wonder a second park is on the way!)

Yeah, with Zootopia 2 already a massive hit in China, they probably should've saved this plot for expansion of it's land instead of the ugly Hot Wheels coded Spidey coaster.

The structure looks huge.

Originally on Red Note where there's also an image of the open door between Zootopia and Spider-Man land.

So question, what are they doing with this area of land I've highlighted below? Because I could see them use this to expand zootopia unless it's already being used for spiderman which if so I didn't know. I ask because the whole area if untouched seems like it would cause massive traffic restrictions into the new land

The red part is still part of Spider-Man’s pathway and entrance plaza. Purple is the parade backstage staging, then the start of the route. In theory that could be pushed back a bit and the parade route lengthened.

I think it would most likely be an extension of Pirates Cove retail and dining once more. It was a fairly late stage cut, but whatever it was going to be, was part of Pirates Cove.

There was a permit for this area !

The project is stated to cost around $166 millions. Also in the permit, this is considered as a "public building" but with an outdoor waiting area.

Great find! Do we know what Project Hat Trick may be alluding to? Would seem odd to assign a project code name to something quite small.

Single attractions get code names. Even in a bigger project, components will have their own code names.

Is this old or more recent?

Hat trick to me implies three purpose. Washroom, dining, retail, something like that.

Strange contrast.
