Hong Kong Disneyland $1.4 Billion Overhaul

When I see Zola why am I thinking of Modok?

I am somewhat surprised that they didn't want to limit capacity, and just use it to be more similar to Imgaination on pausing. Seems like this would've made a lot of sense to do something like that, if the Omnimover had to be kept.

It uses space quite well, and while I do think there are..some concerns, quite a bit of it looks stellar. Love the way they handled the Boss Fight scene.

What I am loving, is that they actually are connecting the other attractions together. You can actually notice that in the attraction itself, when they do exchanges of the Bot invasion in the Hong Kong city (that leads into Iron Man Experience). Interested to see where the story concludes, when they get to it.

Yeah, the big problem for me is the lack of moving targets that really add a challenge when you're already moving in the first place.

There was also a Shield Academy that was in DCA, and it is connected to Iron Man experience because Tony mentions Hong Kong.

Yeah it was not well received to be honest. Just a off-brand Jedi Training Academy.

I was kinda referring to the connection.

I wonder if all of these massive demonstrations in Hong Kong are affecting park attendance this past month.

So apparently the Frozen area at this park will be called Arrendelle: World of Frozen (as if they just just took the name of Pandora and switched out some words). Also, the second ride in the land is going to basically be a Frozen themed version of SDMT, apparently called "Wandering Oaken's Sliding Sleighs".

Hard to believe they're cloning Frozen Ever After instead of building a similar boat ride with better capacity.

Frozen Ever After is going everywhere. Paris and TDS are getting it, too.

It's weird. They could do more without having to be locked into an already-existing show building and ride track.

The ride is popular and already has the R&D done. In their minds, why spend money to design a new ride when you already have one that people like?

I’m sure it’ll have minor differences. If nothing else, it will be a smoother lift.

Yeah, no way it's an exact clone. There is literally no reason to build the overlayed Maelstrom out there. I figure it'll be the same concept but with some minor differences. Hopefully a little longer..

From what the HKDL rumors are (and a document leak, I believe), there is virtually no difference between the rides. Who would've ever thought Maelstrom would get cloned across the world.

And 30+ years later..

Which is funny because some people sware Tokyo doesn’t like clones and would spend to get something different. Even though some of the rides at TDS use the same ride systems as the ones in the states.

TDS just opened (a beautiful) version of Soarin' and they have TSM, too. They clone rides. But Tokyo also does really cool unique rides too.
