Re: Disneyland Shanghai Announced
Would be funny if you lifted an item up in the store and said "Made in the United States" underneath, but we know that's not going to happen.

Re: Disneyland Shanghai Announced
Back to the topic at hand...
...has anyone seen any recent news anywhere that Disneyland Shanghai is still a go, and is it going to quietly fade away?

Disney and More posted what appears to be an early piece of concept art. It's gonna to be incredibly different than any other previous Disneyland incarnation.

Re: Disneyland Shanghai Announced
Nice to see that the project is still progressing forward even if we can't tell much about it yet. From previous articles, I know China was hoping for another HKDL but I know Disney wanted to go with a different format...
Re: Disneyland Shanghai Announced
I'm sure Disney is wishing at this moment that they could just move HKDL up to Shanghai. It's not supposed to be doing that well.mindflipper wrote:Nice to see that the project is still progressing forward even if we can't tell much about it yet.

It might take awhile to get going ~ look at how long it took Disneyland Paris...momeja wrote:I'm sure Disney is wishing at this moment that they could just move HKDL up to Shanghai.

It seemed like HKDL was built pretty quickly. I think DLS could as well...

Re: Disneyland Shanghai Announced
I wonder if they are still using the plan of "build 3/4 now and have the last 25% visibly under construction" as a means of getting people to come back after the first visit.

Re: Disneyland Shanghai Announced
I think you open with a basic park at first just to start generating operational cash flow ASAP; then you start the expansions. When it first opens I don't think they will need to worry at first about getting return visitors as much as when the novelty of it wears off.Wizzard419 wrote:I wonder if they are still using the plan of "build 3/4 now and have the last 25% visibly under construction" as a means of getting people to come back after the first visit.
