To he fair nothing has been announced for the Asian parks yet and since it’s not being live streamed I don’t even know if they will show anything or if it’s basically already over

What kind of ride system is this?

Looks like a GOG style screen tower ride

Interesting. I wonder if this in addition to or replacing the Avengers ride?
EDIT: Just saw the Avengers logo. I guess this is the new direction.

HK’s avengers was always stark expo so this isn’t really out of left field for it considering quinjet was pretty much always dead

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’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.
Tokyo only gets what OLC wants it to get and is willing to pay for it. Disney has no role deciding what Tokyo gets.

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

That I know, I didn’t expect Tokyo to get mentioned

I think the rest of the money is going to the reimagining project, as that is a new announcement
If so that the money is enough to reimagine the entire Adventureland

It’s just odd they didn’t announce this. If they were doing a big reimagining that used around half the total funds remaining (so like 2 billion HKD) they could have paired this big reimagining with the TOT announcement and basically sold it as a new expansion even if it’s just spending money that was allocated to an old expansion
But as it stands we now have no timeframe on when the reimagining will be announced

So is this leaked layout for the Spiderman-TOT what we are getting ? This plan was leaked in 2021...
