Lots of activity now. Multiple excavators and cement trucks. Looks like foundation being poured at the rear of the lot towards the access road.

It seems there will be a nighttime Halloween overlay to Jungle Cruise. Giving “Jungle Cruise Curse of the Emerald Trinity” vibes from 10 years ago. Maybe they also should bring back the creepy projections on Mystic Manor and “The Nightmare Experiment” scare maze where the Mad Hatter decapitates a “guest” since House of De Vil-lains is not operating this year.

Looks like this year's Halloween season is going to be very exciting for HKDL. A Halloween overlay for JRC is already a big win, the new show (cavalcade "street party) seems interesting too. Perhaps this will run in the evening or at night?

It looks like it’s hinting at an evening/nighttime cavalcade from the promotional poster. If so, this could be a test to reintroduce another nighttime attraction 😉. I wonder why House of De-Villains isn’t returning though? It was announced at Destination D23 that one of the cruise lines would have a similar concept attraction.

That's what I'm exactly thinking too. This Halloween cavalcade could be a test for future night entertainment. I believe House of De-Villains isn't returning since there is this new addition of the "street party" and they need more cast members there. I'm quite sad that its not returning, I love "House of De-Villains" and I hope it could return next year.

Given the choice (or should we have to choose) though I’d take Let’s Get Wicked

I’d assume something in the middle, an extensive refurb makes sense considering they are moving a way from Tomorrowland’s “toy box” theme

There was rumbling at the last LEGCO meeting about them being unhappy with the legacy park theming compared to Shanghai Disney, and the various chimealongs in the GBA

Which meeting was this? I would love to listen to it.

Usually they would state maintenance as a reason for closure but Orbitron is currently closed indefinitely due to “operational adjustments”

It was mentioned offhand in the last funding announcement when HKDL announced to LEGCO that they had paid off their loan to Disney which was…….June? I think

The only “cheap” places left in the park are Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. If they can retheme these 2 lands, maybe add a dark ride in Fantasyland, it would do wonders.

New Google Earth satellite imagery shows that work has indeed started on the two expansion projects !
