Hopefully they will announce something truly remarkable next year sometime (but not holding my breath).

The park is sub-par to say the least, with a VERY few "lands" that are filled with almost NO attractions! YES, I think you hit the nail on the head, Orddu! YOU are the one who said it all! ***Sorta like on opening day at Disneyland when the asphalt hadn't cured yet, and the women's shoes got stuck in it?*** Yeah, kinda. Only in Hong Kong, it's not exactly asphalt. And it's not only the women's shoes that got stuck in it. If you get my drift. HKDL SUCKS! Thanks a LOT, Disney! (Mr. X proceeds to throw "asphalt" in the direction of DisCo in general...)

Originally Posted By SuperDry It's been rumored, suggested, and anticipated for HKDL, but now I consider it at least semi-official now that it's been mentioned in Tales: "By summer 2006 it seems that the night-time skies above the park will be filled with the catchy electronic tunes of 'Baroque Hoedown' as the Main Street Electrical Parade completes its sweep of Magic Kingdoms in Penny's Bay." Although the wording is a bit odd, I interpret this as meaning that the actual parade will be coming to HKDL this summer.

Originally Posted By Mr X Considering how little money they are investing in their projects these days, TDLFAN, I find it hard to have the same faith that you do... However, I sure do HOPE so (as you know, I'm the guy who really loves "spare no expense" parks like Epcot, DisneySea, and Disneyland Paris which is the only Disney park I've never been to (WDSP doesn't count ) . but very much want to!).
Originally Posted By Park Hopper I wonder which parade floats they will use for the Hong Kong Electrical Parade. Probably the units that were formally in Paris. I imagine the original will stay at DCA.
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 Yeah, because the DL version is still going at DCA. What did Tokyo ever do with their floats?
