A Spirited Perfect Ten

[WDW1974]

Oh and there will be Tai Chi with Donald and Chip and Dale. I'm not making this up.

Hey, don't mock it. That's a unique activity that is authentically Disney, distinctly Chinese, after all!

BTW, doing a Frozen sing a long here too!??! It's like these people have never set foot in the country.

 

[WDW1974]

Where is @WDW1974? We finally get on topic and he's missing it.

He was taking it all in from multiple realms. It really has been fascinating and remains so.

If SDL does end up getting a clone of Everest, where would that be in the park?

More importantly would it have a broken yeti?

 

[WDW1974]

Uh... why would you build a train station at the entrance of your park if you don't have a train?

Why would you build pieces of a supposed elevated railway as part of the early last century 'backstory' of your redevelopment of a Central FL lifestyler center?

It's WDI ... you just do things ...they don't have to make sense!

Do you even lift, Bob?

Yeah, if both Iger and Staggs are supposed to be "fitness buffs" as the Disney press talking points would have you believe, then it appears that Staggs has legitimately been hitting the weights for some time while Bob seems to enjoy... uh, a slow stroll on a treadmill.

Noticed a couple of observations
1. No pooh dark ride which is a surprised to me but I can see that they want the Many adventure of Winnie the Pooh to be exclusive to HKDL
2. Also it Interesting that they are using Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland instead of the classic film

1.) There is one (unless the Chinese ordered a last minute change and it is being swapped out for something else, of course! Only mostly kidding!) coming;
2.) Not really. The film made over a billion and has a sequel coming out about the time this park opens and it is doubtful that many people have even heard of the 1950s Disney animated version.

PS: No mention of a Mulan ride, show or M&G? I'm a bit surprised since this park is in her "homeland." Am I missing something politically that the state didn't want Mulan? Weird.

She is part of the Crystal Grotto ride, included in a stage show and part of the castle restaurant. Oh, and she will be meeting-and-greeting-andHun-killing.

Not if Bob Iger wants to live...

saw this on Yahoo this morning and thought of @WDW1974 :

Some of this event's choreographing could make a Spirit believe he's waaaaay more important than he is. A good thing I have member of this community to remind of how insignificant I am!

The maintenance bay.

I thought good morning america covered this today.

Based on the presentation and what I have seen so far the park looks to be impressive. Maybe that is because I had set my expectations so low. But the stuff looks good.

I am jealous of the ride system on Peter pan for sure. Wonder how much that will increase hourly guest throughout.

I bet it's going to be given the same treatment the Winnie The pooh ride had gotten in Tokyo Disneyland compared to the attraction in Hong Kong,Paris,WDW, and Disneyland.

 

[brb1006]

Here's a montage of the park with new concept art.

 

[brb1006]

It's nice to see a Tomorrowland that actually looks futuristic and not retro. Also, the park seems to be very big with lots of space between attractions.

I think once the park opens, in a few years they might add a new land or section. I recently seen a map of the park and trying to guess where the parade route will be? Especially since it's the longest in any Disney park.

Are you now on the record taking the position that Bob Iger was photographed in front of the Shanghai castle specifically because you've pointed out that he hadn't been previously?

Serious question. Why don't you disclose who you are IRL? It sounds like the power structure at Disney knows who you are anyways, so what's the benefit of anonymity in this community? It might give some of your skeptics less reason to doubt you.

 

[WDW1974]

So are they announcing this in Mainland China? It would be a great distraction to help the people forget they lost all their money and can no longer afford to go to SDL.

Yep.

Official unveiling to the world ... but mostly China!

I hope this means that the Fake Disneyland in China will finally lose visitors once it's finally opened.

The little bit of art I have shows it north of the Pirate area...I think.

 

[WDW1974]

Do these photos of Bob in China suggest the relationship is repaired from a month or so back?

I wouldn't read too much into it. It's been planned since at least February.
I'm sure the Chinese are loving reading three unnamed Disney people complaining about build quality in the LA Times.

 

[brb1006]

Here are some more rendering which includes park map, dumbo, many adventure with Winnie the pooh, Alice maze and more!!!

It's so strange seeing the Tim Burton's version of the Alice In Wonderland characters smiling since they mostly looked serious in the actual film. Also I hope you can actually go inside the Dwarfs Cottage this time.
