I will reiterate what I want for HKDL: An Aladdin magic carpet ride using PPF technology. If we get Toy Story Mania, then I'd prefer it to be themed to another Pixar property, maybe Monsters or Inside Out.

Making the magic in Disney's World of Frozen Do read "Changing Frozen Ever After", HKDL's Frozen Ever After has a new ride system and the ride lasts more than 6 minutes, compared with EPCOT's 4.5 minutes. The animatronics are also different. It is not a direct clone at all.

I told you so. November is "prime time" to open new attractions because it is low tourist season.

Exclusive interview of Tom MORRIS, Executive Creative Show Producer for HKDL The late Alain Littaye interviewd Tom Morris, the imagineer for HKDL. He did explain "space was reserved for future dark rides once we know what it is what the local audience wants..." I want a Peter Pan's Flight ride...

Festival of Foods including the outdoor dining area and the trees. There is no way HKDL will replace PhilHarmagic and Royal Banquet Hall since both are popular with guests. If something has to go in Fantasyland, it has to be Festival of Foods, it is hardly ever open anyway.

I remember that Peter Pan's Flight was part of the original plan for HKDL. The imagineers had said they left structures in place for its installation later on. But it is NOT PhilharMagic. I assume they meant that Festival of Foods is that space. Soon Arendelle will open, it will come with its...

So HKDL will not get the "King Thanos" Avengers ride that DCA is getting? I think that's a wasted opportunity. Rather than taking the Webslingers ride, I'd actually prefer for HKDL to get the Dr Strange show, housed in the Hong Kong Sanctum (as depicted in the Dr Strange film). Currently the...

New investments in HKDL are very unlikely in the near future. Even if Josh D'Amaro was hugely impressed, WDC cannot invest alone, they need to convince HK govt to invest an almost equal share as well, which needs to pass through LegCo and that, in today's political and economic climate, isn't...

I am inclined to think that HKDL will probably open the land in stages, with one of the rides opening first before the other rides opening at a later time. November is traditionally a low tourist season so I think it will be the perfect time to open new attractions.

IMHO, for DisneySea, the must do ride is "Journey to the centre of the world". It uses Test Track/Radiator Springs Racers technology but to a much better effect. I have not done "Tower of Terror" but it is recommended by lots of people. For Disneyland, I have not tried "Beauty and the Beast"...

I just wish FEA would splash into the lake in front of Arendelle Castle. Not only is it better for the riders, it is also a good advertiser for people coming into the land. I don't understand why it has to splash down indoors in front of the hidden plastic castle as it is. I suppose HKDL did...

2023 is Tokyo Disneyland 40th anniversary. That would make sense.

I would rather HKDL have an Aladdin ride using Peter Pan technology. It would be great to fly around in a magic carpet with "A whole new world" singing in the background. The Aladdin movie did really well and its middle eastern/Indian theme would make it unique and attractive to many HKDL...

Why they didn't let the ride splash into the lake when there is a prop castle besides it is just beyond me. Now they have two prop castles, one outside the ride and one inside the ride, and neither of them are great.

Of course govt have to agree since they are the larger shareholder with 52%. It is like you and your partner have a business in equal share. Then your partner said he wants to make a branch in another location. If you don't put up your share of the money then your partner could own the branch...

Building a small park is not the same as building a cheap park. HKDL has criteria to meet (mainly attendance figures) if it wants to extend the phase 2 land. It is under pressure to at least release it for temporary housing. (Although I wonder who would want to live in temporary housing that is...

It could be that HK govt will want to invest because they want to boost tourism after the COVID-19 pandemic, especially if Ocean park is no more. But WDC may not be so keen given the current economy and its own financial situation. Although they might agree to give up some shareholding in the...

I believe after this round of expansion, WDC will want to develop Phase 2 because the land permit will run out pretty soon. There are also a lot of complaints in the society that the land has sat idle for far too long. Also if Ocean Park meets its end, HKDL will need more capacity for both...

Stephanie Young and Edward Yau did not say that. They just said the park is strong financially and will watch their expenses. Stephanie Young said HKDL applied for the HK govt's Employment Support Scheme and will not lay off any employees.

I had hoped Frozen Ever After would splash into the lake in Arendelle. But it is quite clear that is not happening, what a wasted opportunity.
