Has the ride ever been officially announced for Hong Kong? It’s already been announced as coming to DCA, so they have no problem talking about it in relation to DCA. But I don’t think when they announced the ride the first time they mentioned Hong Kong.

So my vote is for (3) this same attraction is still coming to Hong Kong, they just want to officially announce it as part of the parks panel, rather than casually mentioning it in a display at the Imagineering pavilion.

It’s been officially announced that “a marvel e ticket attraction sharing development with DCA is confirmed to be built in stark expo”

I really loved the concept art for the marvel ride in HK, the massive building looked really cool imo and I hope it gets built, plus if they built the quin jet ride as a one off in only HK, id def go to HK for DL

Yes this is from way back in 2016 when they formally announced the expansion that’s just about to finish

There has been functionally no updates about HK while DCA has bounced between like 7 concepts in the same time, the only “new” announcement we have ever gotten is that recent one about how HK we’re getting the project started despite us still not really knowing what it is

The perspective view of the Lion King ride for Paris resembles the Pirate land rendering once for Hong Kong. Perfect fit for the expansion parcel for Hong Kong near the lion king theatre to create a mega Lion Ling themed land.

Tbh I’m kinda disappointed in the showings for the Asian parks

Tokyo got nothing (not that I expected it to witj fantasy springs)

Shanghai got confirmation of a coaster we already knew was coming

Hong Kong got updated concept art (that we are guessing a ride system on) for a ride that’s like 4 years behind schedule

The showings for the stateside parks were mammoth and I know they don’t have limitless money but it seems so little

Hong Kong got a real update tho cos the original quinjet is not confirmed dead and the rumored multiverse ride is only in DCA. The spider man tower of terror is a new info, although I’ve heard people speculating a TOT was coming to Tomorrowland.

But tbh I don’t really care about marvel but I love spider man especially the OG Tobey McGuire spider man so I hope he’ll be in it or at least voice it.

As the Asian parks aren't owned completely by Disney, they don't often get the love at D23 (In fact this is the first time Disneyland Paris got some love). At least we have confirmation of the Marvel attraction from Disney themselves. With how much they were going over, I was beginning to fear we'd hear nothing :)

I wonder if they will have extra budget given that this spiderman TOT should be costing less than quinjet or DCA's E-ticket.

I’m sure they do. They built multiple rides and a whole new frozen land and they all cost roughly half of the allocated budget. There’s no way this tower of terror ride would use up the other half.

But I wonder what ride they’re gonna put in the remaining part of the empty plot of land. Sounds like it wouldn’t be an E ticket.

Eh it’s something but updated concept art for a ride that was paid for 8 years ago doesn’t constitute much in my eyes, especially when since this won’t cost 5 billion HKD we still have no idea what they will do with the rest of the money/the other reimagining before we even consider actual future expansion

I know Covid messed a lot up but still being tethered to expansion plans from 2016 gets a bit tiring after a while
