^ Robb I was just joking...but alas, I myself will refrain from any "Dirty Park" comments abotu DLHK. I think alot of times the media (which ive worked in) will pick up on a single negative comment about a pretty decent place and "soil" its reputation. The same kind of journalism happened with DL, WDW and DLP as well, if you read your themepark history, and those places are doing quite well the last time I checked :) I def. look forward to more of your updates in HK :) and please accept my most humble apologies

Hong Kong Disneyland looks like someplace I would definately visit if I ever go to China. The Space Mountain there looks great. Just once in my life I would love to be able to ride space mountain, any of the Space Mountain coasters, with the lights on.

By the way, in case anyone is wondering, the music heard on Space Mountain was done by Michael Giacchino (The Incredibles).

Would ya look at that!! Its DLHK!!!! :D I was very curious about this place when I first heard they were going to put in a Disneyland in HK. Now I am looking at pictures and watching videos of SM (with lights on too!!) of the park!!! Wow what a treat this is!! :D

Thats very strange how they mixed up things there. Like for instants the river(River of America in the states) is their Jungle Boat Cruise!!
Very interesting indeed!

DLHK seems like it has such potential to expand and build!!
Does anyone know of any future plans that they have for building new rides?
I am also curious as to why its not as good as all the other parks and only has a handful of rides?
Never the less its still Disney and I would so love to go and check it out. Especially their SM!!!

^ They built small to avoid a potential situation like Paris. There will be plenty of expansion over the next few years. Autopia comes next year, and then there will be some really cool stuff after that.

HKDL looks pretty good, and Space Mountain looks like good fun with/without the lights!

I wasn't expecting any horror stories either.

Having studied Journalism at University, it was kinda expected that any indescretions at the park were seized upon bt the press - a big deal being made out of a few small problems.

LOL, the castle is so small. However, all in all looks the park very nice and so clean! The Space Mountain video was awesome!

I wish you a Merry Xmas!

Hey guys! We're waiting for our plane in South Korea to Tokyo so I thought I'd hop on a computer and surf the web. Overall, I'm amazed by Asia. Hong Kong was incredible and the public transportatio can't be beat. The people are friendly, obsessed with Christmas (castmembers LOVED saying Merry Xmas to us), and very into fashion (High heels etc to theme parks!).

So yeah, Hong Kong Disneyland was A LOT better than I imagined. It was clean, pretty, well run, and overall very nice. Tomorrowland could have been better but it didn't ruin the experience. I was also really impressed with how English friendly everything here is. I've had no problems communicating.

Ok, those are my thoughts so far!
