I believe competition is a good thing. I really hope that Macau Fisherman's Wharf and the New HK Ocean Park (or even the possible 3rd theme park in HK) would give some pressure to HK Disneyland so that they would improve the park!!!!!!!!!!

Fisherman Wharf seems like a vague connection to the Sea (as in DisneySEA) and it's themes... Still, I am intrigued as it looks better than Nara's little DL blunder. And can't go wrong with Vanessa Mae's being a performer onver the new year holiday...as she as covered the versatile DIVA (Ms. DONNA SUMMER's) "I Feel Love", so she is ok in my book.
