Originally Posted By Mr X Good to know, Loomis. And Bob, 5 actual rides? I count 7...8 if you include the film "Philharmagic". Don't worry, there's no need to exaggagerate on this one...8 pathetic rides is more than enough to turn away most customers (and the proof is in the pudding). I'm going out on a limb here, and betting that HKDL ends up shutting down completely within a few years. Total lack of interest, and unlike EuroDisneyland, there will be no wealthy oil sheik to bail them out (and the Chinese government? heck, they'd consider it an ACCOMPLISHMENT to be sure Disney was a failure in their country...don't forget, they're commies ;p).

Unless, of course, 'theatre style shows' don't count as attractions, although three of those could take 1.5 hours out of your day or more...
Originally Posted By TDR_Fan I do not count shows as an attraction unless they run continuously like the Enchanted Tiki Room, or Mermaid Lagoon Theatre at Tokyo DisneySea. Scheduled shows or performances like Golden Mickeys and Festival of the Lion King do not count as an attraction for me because unlike attractions, you cannot experience it any time you want; you have to return at a certain time, and there is a limited number of performances a day.
