Shanghai Disneyland Revealed

[Wikkler]

Yesterday, Disney revealed much of what will be going into Shanghai Disneyland when it opens next year.

Parks Blog Link.

For starter's, here's a scale model of the entire park.


Also, here's a construction time-lapse.

Instead of Main Street, Shanghai gets Mickey Avenue.

The hub area will be called Gardens of Imagination, and will feature a carousel and Dumbo.

Interestingly, it looks like instead of Partners, they will get the statue from California Adventure (name?)

Tomorrowland's main attraction will be called TRON Lightcycle Power Run. Looks fun.

The other attractions for Tomorrowland include Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue, which will feature jetpack ride vehicles, a dance party (groan), and yet another spaceship spinner.

Nearby (?), there are two other experiences named Star Wars Launch Bay and Marvel Universe. Does Star Wars Launch Bay sound exciting? Don't worry, it isn't.

It's just an advert for Star Wars 7. Marvel Universe is just Art of Animation, but with Marvel.

Adventure Isle might have been the least hyped land, but MAN is there some promising stuff here.

Get ready for another mountain, Roaring Mountain, featuring the flagship ride of the land, Roaring Rapids.

Other attractions in Adventure Isle include the promised Soaring Over the Horizon, a new play area called "Camp Discovery", and a Tarzan stage show.

Fantasyland will be the largest land at Shanghai Disneyland.

The flagship ride of Fantasyland will be Voyage to the Crystal Grotto, which seems to be a "Great Movie Ride" with Disney characters.

Other attractions in Fantasyland include everyone's favorite ride from WDW, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, as well as Peter Pan's Flight, a Wonderland maze, and the Hundred Acre Wood.

The last land at Shanghai Disneyland will be Treasure Cove, featuring everyone's favorite pirates.

So far, what looks like the only attraction here will be Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure, which may include thrill elements.

Also expected at the resort are the Disneyland and Toy Story hotels, as well as Disneytown, Shanghai's version of Downtown Disney.

Disneytown will be in the park adjacent to Mickey Avenue and will feature a Mandarin port of The Lion King musical, straight from Broadway.

The Disneyland Hotel looks to be similar to a Deluxe, with the Toy Story Hotel being similar to a Value.

It all looks very modern and I love it.

This park looks amazing. Wow. This looks like it will be a must visit on opening day. Incredible.

I found a site with longer videos of the project. It's all in Chinese though.

See I have been thinking for the longest time what is stopping Disney from having a dedicated real musical on property for guests? I think a genius place for a venue like that would be Downtown Disney. Alternate the shows every now and again with other Disney productions, it could be a fantastic experience.

Kind of lite on attractions isn't it?

Kind of lite on attractions isn't it?

• Adventureland E ticket

And this is only the confirmed stuff. Missing are the c and b tickets around the park. Is this a light opening for a brand new theme park? Not in the slightest.

It does kinda feel weird that the Alice Maze is based on the Tim Burton version for me, it is such a different level for Fantasyland, I wished it was the original Disney Animated version, but the rest is amazing and I can't wait to visit it one day!!

• Tomorrowland stage possible show?

Looking at the promotional video, this looks to be a dance party. This, to me, is the only unnecessary addition to the park.

 

[JasonDeyoung]

Looks pretty sweet. Guess we know where all the $ is going of late lol jk. Def looks like it'll be a great park when finished

 

[cheezbat]

While the park has an ok number of attractions for opening day, with the parks delayed opening and a supposed extra $800 million for more attractions, I expected a few more things.

It looks pretty, and the rapids ride and Tron look sweet.

I'm confused about Pooh though...is it a dark ride or a spinner/teacups style ride?

There is enough place for expansion, it will be an amazing park for sure. Also its a tea cup spinner ride

Is it just me or does the park look really really BIG? Like crazy BIG? It looks amazing though, its definitely making me want to make next years holiday one to China!
