No Pooh dark ride. Probably because Hong Kong already has it. Same with Toy Story Playland. There will be a Snow White walkthrough inside the castle... "A magnificent, winding staircase in the middle of the castle will lead guests on a “Once Upon a Time Adventure” providing a memorable experience created especially for Shanghai Disneyland. For the first time in a Disney park, guests will interact with an animated version of Snow White as they stroll through scenes of her story. Passing through a “Magic Mirror” portal and into this wonderful fairy tale, guests will meet Snow White’s friends, witness the evil deeds of her enemies, and share her dreams through realistic, interactive technology. This “Once Upon a Time Adventure” has special meaning to China since Snow White was introduced as a Disney princess in Shanghai on Feb. 8, 1938, with the premiere of the animated movie, Snow White." Correct... "The flying sensation in Peter Pan’s Flight will be enhanced by a newly developed inverted-coaster ride system, debuting at a Disney park for this attraction. With new magic, the ride vehicles swoop closer to the action with varying speeds, enabling guests to become more immersed in the story as they fly in and out of each scene."

A parade was announced.

These are the buildings that belong to the actual park: And the official map to compare with:

We have a map! Low res & low quality, but it's something.

Quick Photoshop of a Dive Coaster with those colors.

Not entirely. The bottom is gray.

It's not quite the same though. This one has orange track. The difference between track and support color should (hopefully) become more obvious as more track goes up.

Earlier today, Vekoma posted this on their Facebook-page, along with a new render of the ride. photos: Vekoma

So yeah, their new Mack Bluefire has opened... The ride has been named "Великолукский мясокомбинат", pronounced "Velikoluksky Miasokombinat". That translates to "Velikoluksky Meat Processing Plant". No, I'm not joking. Apparently this is a local brand of meat products, and the co-owner of the park. Their website explains everything:
