HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

We're going end of next week and booked this...so excited!

It’s a truly amazing experience. Assuming you’re English speaking you should get some help from your server since the spiels are in Mandarin and Cantonese (we had a lovely chat with the manager which included the reason for this after our dinner)

Thanks. Yes, we're English speaking (coming from NYC). Looks fun!
I'm using my DVC points for a stay at the HKDL Hotel, which is great.

You’re in for a treat. Aside from no quick serve / grab and go - aside from the fridge in the store - it’s a perfect hotel. And quite beautiful.

I also highly recommend the Nightnare Before Dinner dinner show.

I had to chose one of the two. Even though we have park tickets for two days, we only have 7 days in Hong Kong so I wouldn't be able to convince my husband to join me for a full two days. We bought the 2 day tickets in case the weather wouldn't allow for Momentous, so we have an option to return just for that.

2. **Pride Rock Adventure Coaster** (*Pride Rock Adventure Coaster*):

Visitors will start at the highest point of Glory Rock and go on a high-speed roller coaster adventure. Along the way, they will experience the beautiful African landscape and magnificent skyline, and experience an exciting adventure.

can anyone confirm if this is true?

cant seem to find any official documentation so seems like a rumor for now

Wait wait wait wait wait what

Where did this come from

Regardless I can’t prove one way or another but it is very on point for a current Disney park expansion, 2 ride- e ticket and a c/d ticket, a restaurant and a shop; shared resources with a different park

If it’s a fake they certainly know how to make an authentically disney fake

this was from a disney group on facebook. no other news has been reported though, even though the post states that the expansion had already been announced. they also stated that the expansion would cost around 6 billion HKD approx, begin construction in 2027 and open to the public in either late 2030 or early 2031.

if this is true, this certainly comes as a surprise as no other project has been announced asides from the "re-imagning" slated to come between the 20th anniversary and the marvel expansion.

I think it's fake. It's quite impossible to build a water ride featuring a drop from Pride Rock, and a roller coaster starting from Pride Rock without having 2 Pride Rocks.

yeah i noticed that discrepancy as well, but maybe the layout would be slightly different from paris? (as in the exclusion of a drop) to differentiate it from FEA perhaps?

 

[Supersnow84]

Another thing to note is that let’s assume this leak is real. If they wanted to connect the land to FOTLK you would have to destroy the pavilion

There is simply no way you can keep both

 

[Timothy_Q]

This would make sense, considering thats where HKD originally planned to have their flume drop version of POTC

Also DLP's Lion King ride will probably be one they'll want to clone in many resorts

 

[PiratesMansion]

I think it's fake. It's quite impossible to build a water ride featuring a drop from Pride Rock, and a roller coaster starting from Pride Rock without having 2 Pride Rocks.

Probably true, but Cars Land has two Radiator Springs, so there is some precedent for duplicated landmarks within an IP land.

Well it certainly hasn't been announced and maybe it is the translation but it reads like AI.

I'm not connected to HKDL rumours bit it seems surprising if they announce something when they've announced the Marvel expansion and haven't even broke ground on that.
