He encouraged his staff that the quality and universal appeal of Hong Kong Disneyland, which is the smallest one in the world, will show over the long term. Warmly welcomed Mickey Mouse has experienced series of difficulties since its landing on Hong Kong, including refusing visitors during the Spring Festival. Being the fifth theme park of Walt Disney family, the first one in China, Hong Kong Disneyland attracted much attention from the very beginning. However, it always has problem to attract enough visitors. It has issued summer pass during this summer vacation in hope of drawing more visitors, especially children. Whether it will accomplish its target of having 5.6 million visitors during its first year in Hong Kong is still a question. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Source: People's Daily/Xinhua

According to it, Disney needs to get 30K visitors every day for July and August to meet the goal.

That UFO Zone at HKDL is (literally) child's play when compared to the ultra fun and splashy "SummerTime Cool" show at TDL. And Mr. Bob better wear a poncho if he plans to see this.
