HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

I mean it depends on how much HK’s border blocks the GBA because purely by catchment area HK arguably had the larger catchment area but of course if a lot of them are blocked then purely looking at HK as a city Shanghai has a larger catchment area

Does anyone know what the initial expectations were for HKDL attendance? My memory is that it was quite low, at around the 5-6 million range. Maybe the expectation was that it would grow to closer to 10 million over time, but my impression was that they were at least initially seeing this as more of a smaller regional park but that ended up not being a viable model as people naturally compared it to other Disney parks. If the park was built with modest expectations for attendance based on the local market, that would go a long way to explaining why it struggles to match the attendance of parks built for much larger markets.

Maybe I am wrong about all this, though!

Random google says 5.6 million

If the park was built with that in mind, I would think the attendance around 6-7million in better years isn't that bad.
