Wow, I am late to the show. I didn’t even know this was happening until Bio’s post this morning. I like the idea of each park having a unique castle.
Well I assume the lift hill won’t be creaky, but I’m not expecting many differences at all.It's bound to be a bit different to FEA as it's designed from scratch rather than to fit an existing show buildingView attachment 11227
It's bound to be a bit different to FEA as it's designed from scratch rather than to fit an existing show building and ride, but as mentioned it's hard to get excited about anything but the land itself.
Frozen feels like yet another IP Disney doesn't really know what to do with.
EDIT: Just for fun (!) I had a look at the layouts of FEA and the sat image of HK Frozen. Maybe it's me but the layouts look different whichever way I rotate them.

The concept art they released for the coaster looks exactly like SDMT and Marni has said as much that it’s a rethemed clone.It's going to be very similar, maybe a different load/unload set up for capacity. Also I don't think the coaster is SDMT.
Plus, Major Civil Unrest and near collapse of tourism. I don't think this park will ever succeed. The expansions, while nice, are too late, and are at a park in the wrong location for the times. It's a shame since it has, perhaps, the most beautiful setting of any Disney Park.Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park to be closed from Sunday to help prevent spread of virus: CCTV
It’s was a rough 2019 for Hong Kong Disneyland and now this. This resort can never catch a break.
Is sad to agree with this. This isn’t like Disneyland Paris which, with enough investment, can become a park many countries go to and become profitable.Plus, Major Civil Unrest and near collapse of tourism.

Dis saves on staffing. How much of that park do they own? 50%?From Robert Niles, Theme Park Insider, today.....On Hong Kong Disneyland closing due to virus......"Hong Kong Disneyland already was enduring a dismal year for attendance so - to be honest -the closure will mean attendance will drop from "almost nothing" to "actually nothing" for a while". .....Telling it like it is for sure
I don't know why anyone would want it with Hong Kong's future being so blurry.....plus, among the locals, it's not even the fav park, Ocean's is. All that money they're plowing into improvements and they'll never get a hint of a Return on Investment. Plus Japanese/Chinese animosity would probably also keep OLC away. Not counting it's (Hong kong Disneyland) a potential disaster business investment)I’d imagine Disney would look for a buyer for HKDL.
OLC would be a logical buyer (if they want to expand internationally), but that scares me. I wouldn’t want HKDL’s financial mess to start impacting Tokyo.
