The pavilion meanwhile is and isn’t part of the biggest expansion plot the park has left though

HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

Not in favor at all of taking it out. Just pointing out that the theater is sitting on a huge plot of land. HKDL has a lot of underdeveloped backstage.
I would take out Philharmagic though and move Wondrous Book into the Fantasyland theater.

I think they can expand TSL with Toy Story Mania and Alien Saucers there (the land needs some indoor attractions)
But I guess HKDL / SAR government may want something more exclusive
Or they may consider using the pad as possible frozen land expansion if the sequels are well received (?)

The land won’t be an extension of frozen as the mountain doesn’t work with the location of the pad
The pad only work facing either south or east with the show building of whatever goes there blocking the unfinished back of the mountain

HKDL will announce its Annual Business Review for fiscal year 2024 very soon.
Some exciting news before the official release:
- the park is finally making profits again (last time was ten years ago in 2014)
- record-breaking revenues, predicted to be at least 600 million HKD
- at least 1M rise in attendance, most of the increase is contributed by East Asian guests, followed by tourists from Mainland China; there is, however, a drop in the number of local visitors (attendance in 2023: 6.4M
which means attendance is at least 7.4M in 2024) - the park is confident that they won’t need further investment from the HKG government in the short run, and they will have the ability to expand on their own

The last point is a bit confusing to me
It says they won’t need investment from LegCo and can expand on their own but aren’t all investments done as join my investments from Disney and LegCo? Is the park even allowed to say “we have the 5 billion HKD we need so we are gonna go ahead we just need you to sign off on the permits”
If so is that really a benefit other than just a “show of strength” as it seems LegCo is happy to help Disneyland these days as ocean park is circling the drain

I think not all investments are joint
When the park is able to make money, it can expand on its own too
From what I recall, IME was build from revenues over 2012 - 2014 (the three years when HKDL managed to generate profits
