Shanghai Disneyland

[Jamesh22]

A lot of people have said this about this park. I think it’s because it’s still very new and doesn’t have that “lived in” appearance yet. Plus the other locations have been around so long they have a certain charm that is missing from here.

I think that's totally possible, but I stand by the ugly castle comment and I think the reason I find the park a bit cold is more related to it's design than it having time to feel lived in.

I hope to one day visit, as I said I haven't been so my opinion is purely based on pics/videos.

One thing about SDL is that it is just so huge. Or at least it feels huge with how spread out everything is. Fantasyland especially just feels massive especially when comparing to HKDL and TDL. That's possible where the slightly sterile feeling and lack of "charm" comes from. That said, the Tomorrowland especially is so beautiful at night. Zootopia will be a great addition, although I hate to think what the wait times will be.

I get an error connecting to the website. Could that be for a Spider-Man coaster?

I am far from an expert but could this be a Guardians clone or something completely different? Technically, it launches up the main incline and then has a second "launch" up the second incline. Although, the second is more like a LSM lift, I suppose.

Love that they're really investing in this park. I just wonder if it'll be a completely new land or a clone of something from the states...

Word on the street is that it will be a Spiderman-themed roller coaster. Very interested to see how it will turn out.

Spider-Man (and the Avengers in general) are very popular in China at least in terms of how their films perform at the box office. This will be the park's third expansion already and currently there is no Marvel in the park so I wouldn't be surprised, especially since both expansions so far have been IP based lands. Although I feel like it should be illegal for a land to only have one ride as Zootopia does.

Excited to say I’ll be going back to Shanghai Disneyland week after next (25/3). looking forward to a cooler visit than it was in May last year, and especially to see Zootopia land.

Interesting layout - seems like it will have a backwards section too!

Kinda hard to make out the layout

A Spider-Man coaster.... why couldn't we have gotten this at DCA

Web Slingers is good (haven't seen the coaster layout, four hours of sleep, gotta get those gains, etc)

A coaster like this would’ve been much more needed at DCA than Mid-Slingers.

EDIT TO ADD:

Here is a better look at the layout courtesy of Theme Park Horizons:

Random question but just about to book our flights for Shanghai and Beijing for next year to check out the parks over there...do they serve beer in Disney Shanghai?! We like to wander around the parks with a beer in the evenings, and found places with beer few and far between in Tokyo Disney - wondering if it's the same here?
