Shanghai Disneyland Opening 2012

[Nrthwnd]

I am hoping - that if Expedition Everest is wildly successful, that there might be the off-chance the attraction could be cloned in DLP, in the Adventureland section! If the Indy Coaster was removed - the land parcel for building it could/should be as big as the 'original' at AK.

 

And by the way - Robb is right on $ about the way a Disney park is put together. And to be honest? It's really more than the number of thrill attractions at a Disney Park. The park itself WAS the attraction, used to be th e attraction. Still is to a lot, I know.

 

And I think a number of the US Disney park-goers, should save their Euros up and go to Disneyalnd Paris and see what Disneyland could be like, if they had the space and the landscaping expansiveness. Even Sleeping Beauty Castle is like it's grown up into a tall sleek beautiful princess that it should be, lol. And now it'l be three SleepBeautys to two Cindys in castle iconography, lol. Frontierland uses an amazing backstory to create the entire town, something Disneyland really couldn't do at the time it was built. And the Haunted Mansion is basically, where the original Imagineers wanted it to be, in Frontierland.

 

And there's a HUGE Swiss Family Treehouse as the icon of Adventureland! So whatever is being lost here and there in DL - it seems to be re-imagined and enhanced at DLP.

 

IOA in USF is really one of the very few times, that another non-Disney park has really really worked at putting actual themeing into their lines and queueing areas. And as well everything else a park-goer would want and need. But Disney does it best.

 

And by the way, years and years ago there was rumors and actual newsprint up here in the early 60's that Disney himself was up here in Vancouver to consider location for a Canuck version of..... Didn't pan out later on though, as The Weather put them off. Hah. And now they build covered arcades and walkways through most of their overseas parks.

 

A Disney theme park within several hundred/thousand miles of each other is not so bad a thing. More space for more new attractions to be tried out and created --- yum!
