Soarin' was proposed for WDSP a long time ago and it's kind of odd they never built it anywhere in DLP
Seems like a relatively cheap crowd pleaser to add

This only just occurred to me, but the panoramic flying theatre might be the most significant contribution to the industry Disney has made in the 21st century. Wikipedia lists 47 installations worldwide, but that’s also not accurate. There’s like 30 across the Fantawild brand alone not on their list.
Would the tubular steel coaster be their 20th century most important system?

Good question. The stage is very likely to be removed but I would love to see them repurpose the autopia track. I don't know if its really possible but it would be a cute nod to Autopia if they do keep the front part of the track or reimagine it.

They are also being quite considerate for guests and cast members whom use the area on the left of space mountain's exit (which is the washroom). They've added a temporary roof structure surrounding the corridor. This could mean that they will start work soon to remove the stage..?
I think the track must go away to use the already existing tunnel under the railroad. Otherwise they will need to close again the train for creating another bridge. Then they should call it Hong Kong Bridge Disneyland

Welp.
A show building, a merch cart and a drinks cart?

I agree. Giving HK more unique (for the area) experiences would be a smart move. Maybe a villain land could give the opportunity to add a splash style flume to the resort

I think at this point Hong Kong needs to show a path to 10 million before it gets another large expansion
With zootopia and frozen open Hong Kong and Shanghai have roughly equal offerings (though personal opinion differs greatly on them) but Shanghai more than doubles Hong Kong’s visitor numbers
Hong Kong needs to show that more investment will bring more people, not just the push frozen gave it to finally give it a solid baseline as “competant”
Pumping another 10 billion HKD into it to move the numbers from 7 million to 8 million really isn’t a great investment

Well they did say there will be other entertainment offerings in the new area according to the Legco meeting last year.
A repositioned stage ?
EOS Landviewer is a website that provides up-to date satellite imagery at low resolutions for free. The most recent image from Feb 3 shows a clear outline in the Marvel plot. Documents show the Tower of Terror will have a basement so this may be what the dark shape in the Marvel plot could be.
