This park is PATHETIC!!!!!!

Sure, they have the shows, Philharmagic, and Stitch, but a nice long ride would really bring this park up to Disney standards. Even if it wasn't entirely inside (like Splash Mountain), it should still be a pretty good length. Something that is elaborate and takes several trips to really appreciate everything in it would be great. it's a small world is a step in the right direction, but I think that the park needs something more detailed than that. I'm not worried that the park will do well in time, but if they don't add more things, the current offerings won't be able to last long.

Space Mountain and Buzz are pretty much the only attractions at HKDL that have any repeatability during the same day. But many of the classic attractions can be ridden 2 or 3 times in a single visit without being totally boring (such as HM, POTC, BTMRR, and Splash Mountain, to name a few). It's a small world offers more than you can take in on a single ride, but I don't know that many people would want to re-ride it on the same visit - the extras on that ride are better left for the next visit

Now, If you look at Disneys California Adventure on the other hand, the park itself is somewhat of a mess, and has a thematic problem along with a lack of attractions. At HKDL, its great BECAUSE you dont face a quality problem. Look at Animal Kingdom. The place opened like HKDL with very few attractions, BUT fortunately the quality of the parks infrastructure and theme was not sacraficed. HongKong Disneyland is in a good striking position. Now as for what I'd personaly like to see? Of course anything that is awesomely spectacular and original to HKDL would be great! But of course, I would love to see new upgraded Thunder, Pirates, Splash and Huanted versions spring up.

Idiots!

If I never see it again, that's fine with me.

The Tokyo Disney Resort which contains the "MK" park and DisneySea have far more appeal due to the fact the Oriental Land Co. own it, and therefore put more "Love" and of course, money into every project they put forth. OLC have embraced Walt's philosophies. Disney USA, however, have let them slip.

Originally Posted By Mr X Jealous much? Oh, you ARE right though.

Not to mention the fact that it's the only Magic Kingdom to have it's very own, unique e-ticket (unless you count the Matterhorn, which I might) in Pooh's Hunny Hunt. And DisneySea next door. Now, what were you saying about how great HKDL is (it's not)?
Originally Posted By CMM1 It's hard to imagine a Disneyland type park without POTC or HM or BTMRR - those are pretty much signature attractions for Disney and I would guess that guests to HKDL might feel a bit slighted by not having those attractions there.
Originally Posted By WorldDisney <<so? we don't need you, so dont come>> Ah, judging by that attendance, they need me more than ever . That's the problem with this park at the moment, it IS just a one time park. You go once and there is really NOTHING to bring you back. Sad. Like Mr. X said, yes, I been 3 times lol. I tried VERY hard to get into this park and while its fine and a decent park, there is absolutely no reason to make a trip for it if you can go to any of the other resorts and I think the rich Chinese that knows that still rather go to TDR, DLP or DLR instead of wasting money JUST to see this park. I actually have friends in Hong Kong now and its there first time there visiting. They ask me if its worth going to HKDL and I told them in all honesty, 'no'. If they have time, then MAYBE, but its not worth it and they are not big theme park people anyway. If you have 3-4 days in Hong Kong and first time there, HKDL shouldn't be on your list UNLESS you are a Disney fan and have to see the park. For the other resorts, even if you're not neccesarily a Disney fan, a day is worth visiting at least if you got the time and some interest. Not this crappy park unfortunately. IMO of course .
