not at all- it’s a mix of Main Street usa and Buena vista street with a few cartoon touches. Plus, other lands at the park do not have IP in the name.

A much shorter, and more simplistic, Main Street/Buena Vista Street combo (in architecture) with the Toontown color scheme. Also features a few Toontown-style buildings like a version of Goofy's House, and a version of Carthay Circle.
Some shocking differences include the fact that nearly all buildings are facades only, the lack of a true Town Square, and the fact that it's just over 220 feet, compared to the US parks' 800' Main Streets. In addition, it has a modified version of Disneyland's train station, but you can't actually access it as the park has no railroad.
Mickey Avenue
Mickey Avenue is the main entry land at Shanghai Disneyland inspired by the colorful personalities of Mickey Mouse and his pals. A blend of Main Street, U.S.A. and Mickey's Toontown, Mickey Avenue is a hometown for imagination, a welcoming, whimsical neighborhood filled with lively shops and...

Themed around Disney and animated IP. To the point where about every building has to have a character from a toon or movie on it.
It is the most recent hub land built from the company for a theme park, and is themed with Intellectual Properties. Less than half the real estate of other hub lands, and it is filled to the brim with IP.
So when this is brought up:
We have already had this answer in their most recent largest theme park investment.

So timeless. So Disney.
Don't forget Iger's favorite: "Distinctly Chinese."

Hahahaha!
Yes, I momentarily forgot how he shamelessly and disgustingly cowered before the murderous regime.

Which is of course the evidence that Iger and company care 0% about Walt and what he wanted from the parks - the train circling the park was everything.

I think it's quite out of context (and the actual hub of the park is Gardens of Imagination). We have to remember that it's a different market and culture that we only see from the outside. We don't really know what that audience is looking for. There’s also the fact that Disney doesn't fully own the park; we don’t know what agreements were made, but I’m sure the IP was an important factor. If Mickey Avenue had been built in the USA, I would totally agree with the criticism.

Its a lackluster one but its not like walking through pure toontown. Still just a hub.

Ah I stand corrected then. Well. Case in point on your end then.

IIRC it was because of some Chinese law, not them not wanting one.

I’m not aware of that - and I try to keep up with all things trains! Haha
I think that poster is confusing it with the similar railway law operations that Japan has. The work around was to make it an attraction more than transportation.
That being said, there are always work arounds and it was more budgetary to leave them out.
A rollercoaster is merely a thrilling train, just typically gravity powered in portions it coasts.

Shanghai was the first time that Disney was able to build a castle park and not use any of the staples. No Main Street, railroad, jungle cruise, small world, Frontierland, Space Mountain, etc. In my opinion, it is to the park’s detriment as it lacks the classic charm that the other castle parks have.
