I haven't ridden on Runaway Railway but I did ride on Mystic Manor at HK Disneyland. In Mystic Manor they had the spinning effect you described.

A lot of it could depend on the investment and development of Epic Universe and whether the original plans there would still be in tact. It's possible the new park combined with the pandemic travel economy will tie up the Parks budget for a while and push back any non-routine maintenance...

I am in the no side, although I kind of understand the societal pressures that led to the decision making here.

According to the discussion going on in the HKDL expansion thread the budget has already been allocated and approved. I mostly ignorant on HK/China law so I can't saw if there would be an out for the government without legal repercussions (especially since this is in partnership with a powerful...

The difference between those risks versus the COVID risk is that if you contract the disease then you become a carrier that then transmits it to others. Essentially you potentially endanger someone else's life, liberty and happiness. If it was a regular disease you could easily quarantine...

I would love to see a Luigi's Mansion dark ride that rivals Haunted Mansion or Mystic Manor. A trackless dark ride ala Mystic Manor would be even better considering Universal currently doesn't have a trackless dark ride presently or announced (Disney's US parks currently don't either but they...

Yeah. My bad for calling them studio parks since that's on another threshold entirely. I still hold my point on my distaste towards park design heading towards different themed lands eclectically put together (similar to what Universal's Epic Universe will likely be) as opposed to a well...

I always thought there would be a Marvel section built in that current plot of land where the "Star Wars Launch Bay" equivalent is currently situated. There's a good amount of room there to replace what's there with a full fledged Marvel section. I am not enjoying the thought of Shanghai's...

That would be pretty disappointing given that SDMT is too compact as it is. With some more extension in either the coaster or show parts SDMT could genuinely be a great ride. I did kind of had a feeling that would be the case given the land they had available. I will say that despite not having...

That was sort of the case (the final concept being slightly different of course). Disney Imagineers did leave the company after Beastly Kingdom was put on hold again and again due to budget restrictions. Even after they left the Beastly Kingdom concept was still not cancelled. But then Dueling...

Granted this was under different leadership but didn't one of the reasons Beastly Kingdom didn't come to fruition was because they feared being seen as ripping off Dueling Dragons at Universal Studios? Expanding dinosaurs may be seen as a poor imitation to the recognizable Jurassic Park/World...

Zootopia in Animal Kingdom would be worse than Guardians of the Galaxy in Epcot theme-wise. EDIT: Re-worded myself for clarity.

Considering they're planning to use the space for a garden now it looks like a 2nd gate is well far off in the future. At minimum they won't consider it unless they reap the benefits of the current investment into the new castle (2020), Arrendale: Kingdom of Frozen (2021) and the Marvel e-ticket...

The HK protests should count as an "extraordinary event" for financial purposes and shouldn't heavily count towards future attendance projections but is there any potential concern on whether this could result in budget cuts for the future proposed major attractions (Frozen Land and Marvel...

It was inevitable that Shanghai Disneyland would eventually get Marvel attractions. They even already have a Marvel area set up there but it's for meet and greets right now. It's likely that Hong Kong Disneyland will have an exclusivity on attractions, which hopefully includes the upcoming...

And that ladies in gentlemen is how you make new additions to the park that somehow makes the views and atmosphere even better.

As far as I know money for a second gate was not shelved in favor of adding to HKDL. I think the additions came on its own as a necessity. Land for a second gate has always sat around, but HKDL is prioritizing adding on to its current crop of offerings (with Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point and Toy...

From page 4 of: https://www.thewaltdisneycompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/q4-fy18-earnings.pdf Operating income at our international parks and resorts was comparable to the prior-year quarter as growth at Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort was offset by a decrease at...

Revenue is up but the park is still posting a loss: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/hong-kong-disneyland-2017-loss-widens-revenue-up-2018-02-20 I think even the gloomiest forecasts show that HKDL will see an increase in attendance and revenue with all its expansions. The question is will it...

SDL also has Soarin', an updated Peter Pan's Flight and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. While not as appealing for international guests as WDW has these rides as well (and DL has 2/3) these are major ride differentiators for the Chinese audience. I have not been to SDL yet but I can see why it is...
