Nrthwnd Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Just found some new photos, mainly of the ShDL model recently revealed, on Screamscape by way of Disney & More. Thanks to both sites for posting them! Roaring Rapids Mountain in Adventure Isle The Castle with Fantasyland behind it. You can make out the loading stn. (middle left) for the Crystal Grotto boat ride, (which also shows a bit of it) and some of the Alice In Wonderland Maze on the right. The round roofed bldg, (top right) could be Pooh's Hunny Pot Spin. A more angled shot, which shows the entire AiW Maze. Some more of the Crystal Grotto ride (on the left). And the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train coaster is right behind, at the top of the photo. Adventure Isle on the left - Treasure Cove on the right. And finally, the model of the TRON coaster & canopy, outside the show building.
cfc Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I'm very impressed with the amount of detail crammed into these models. If the park lives up to them, it will be spectacular.
SharkTums Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Still worried about this place but hoping for the best!

I305forever Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 You know what would be amazing? If they had Beastly Kingdom, the never built part of Animal Kingdom that was going to have an indoor dragon themed invert that was replaced by fucking Camp Minnie.
KBrylczyk Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 These progress pics have me worried. Not much seems to have changed between the August pics and September. Are they just going to dump an incredible amount of astroturf in the park? Also, only a single, thin bridge connecting the hotels to the park? I'm sure there'll be ferry services, as well, but that bridge looks like a bottleneck nightmare.
Nrthwnd Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I believe Shanghai Disneyland, will get finished as fast as all of the other theme parks, Disney has created. It's all just a matter of being....patient.
BDG Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 A new official website is up. https://unveilthemagic.shanghaidisneyresort.com.cn/?ref=officialwebsite So far, only the Tomorrowland-section can be viewed, and it's all rather slow, but there's some (new?) nice artwork to be found...

window Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 These progress pics have me worried. Not much seems to have changed between the August pics and September.

I'm sure there'll be ferry services, as well, but that bridge looks like a bottleneck nightmare. I wonder if all of the vegetation / greenery is being grown and stored offsite somewhere, ready to be planted at the last minute? Maybe it would get in the way of heavy plant and machinery being used in the final stages of construction? I believe Shanghai Disneyland, will get finished as fast as all of the other theme parks,Disney has created. It's all just a matter of being....patient. Has a date been announced yet or is it still 'Spring'? An opening date at the end of May would give them another 7(ish) months.
Jew Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I wonder if all of the vegetation / greenery is being grown and stored offsite somewhere, ready to be planted at the last minute? Maybe it would get in the way of heavy plant and machinery being used in the final stages of construction? That's usually how theme park projects are done.
KBrylczyk Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I believe Shanghai Disneyland, will get finished as fast as all of the other theme parks,Disney has created. It's all just a matter of being....patient. Disneyland was built in 366 days.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 An official opening date has not been announced. I have heard rumors, but that's all they are. Disney is working the best they can to get the park open. If there are delays, there are reasons. To quote the CEO of the company, when asked if there have been difficulties working in China, he said: "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... ....there have been some difficulties but we're working through them." Remember, this isn't Disney building a Disney park, this is the Chinese building a Disney park. And if anyone has been to China, then you can probably guess why this park has been having a bit of trouble getting completed.
Nrthwnd Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Mmmmm, so much to still do. I can wait. All those rows of "railings" in front of The Castle, look like stroller parking to me, LOL.
window Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 The castle looks HUGE! Even with half of it covered in scaffolding there is so much to try and take in!
window Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Pretty terrifying image from this morning. Apparently it only smoked for 2 minutes before the fire was put out. A cause is not yet known. Image appears to show smoke from a fire at Enchanted Storybook Castle.
Nrthwnd Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 ^ Maybe they're moving another dragon in, like Paris? (Hope the fire was more minor than it looks, here. And the cause figured out.) Hey there, ya big lug. Taken Sept.20-2015.
KBrylczyk Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 A cause is not yet known. [youtu_be]https://youtu.be/cO1q3HwB0y0[/youtu_be] The Disney construction crew is just keeping up appearances with the rest of the country.
BDG Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 New artwork... Treasure Cove: Pirates of the Caribbean: El Teatro Fandango: Explorer Canoes: source: Disney
Nrthwnd Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 The new artwork is wonderful! The 'pre-show' area of the Pirates Stunt Show looks great. And that last one, of the 'canoes' attraction... wow. Definitely, one I want to try if I ever get there.
KingRCT3 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 If the underwater scene of POTC is as well lit as the one in I Corsari (Gardaland), it's going to be amazing! See at 6:30: One of the only dark-ride sequence that made me goes WOW out loud (just like the dude in the video ).
AndrewRnR Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Flights are crazy cheap right now from Orlando to Shanghai for next year - well at least compared to Japan - I'm talking under $1k on Delta. Has anyone started to look into planning a trip to the park? It saves me nearly 900 bucks to fly to Shanghai vs to Tokyo so I'm thinking maybe pit-stop for Disney. But is it worth the hassle to go to China for a day or two?
gerstlaueringvar Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 ^You can make a trip there for parks. There are quite a few parks in that area and I guess they will all be dead empty by the time Shanghai Disneyland opens. Mega-Lite, Skyscrapper, Dinoconda, Fireball, Dive Maching and Stingray are all within reach of an hour of bullet train/subway.
