HK Disneyland
2005-09-11 20:33:31    CRIENGLISH.com

Hong Kong Disneyland is a theme park at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. It is currently being constructed by The Walt Disney Company and the Government of Hong Kong on reclaimed land beside Penny's Bay, Lantau Island, Hong Kong. The park will open to the public on Monday, September 12, 2005, although VIPs and winners of a ticket lottery are currently being allowed entry to test the park before opening.

On November 18, 2004, a special ceremony was held in the park to commemorate the placing of the tallest turret of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Present were Tung Chee Hwa, former Chief Executive of Hong Kong; Jay Rasulo, president of Disney Parks and Resorts; Michael Eisner, CEO of the Walt Disney Company; and Mickey Mouse and other costumed characters.

The park will feature four themed lands similar to those at other Disney parks: Main Street, U.S.A. ; Adventureland; Fantasyland; and Tomorrowland. It will also feature a daily parade and nightly fireworks.

These attractions will be ready for the park's opening day:

Disneyland Railroad
Jungle River Cruise
Tarzan's Treehouse
"Festival of the Lion King"
Mickey's PhilharMagic
Cinderella Carousel
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Fantasy Gardens
Mad Hatter Tea Cups
"The Golden Mickeys"
Space Mountain
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
Orbitron

The following attractions will be added soon for the Phase 1 extension:

Autopia (open in Summer 2006)
"it's a small world"
Peter Pan's Flight
Pirates of the Caribbean
Raging Spirits

Autopia is already illustrated on the park guide map, and so therefore is definite. Raging Spirits is a jungle temple themed rollercoaster that recently debuted at Tokyo DisneySea, and will likely appear in Adventureland. Pirates of the Caribbean will take the format already created at Pirates of the Caribbean attractions at other Magic Kingdoms and mix it with the Splash Mountain format, creating a dark-ride with a log flume. Peter Pan's Flight and "it's a small world" are tried and tested classic Fantasyland slow-moving and appealing attractions.
