Interesting! So different from the US parks' version of the Haunted Mansion. It looked like they have elements of Indiana Jones and the Tiki Room in this attraction...Wizzard419 wrote:It looks like on ride video of the new ride is appearing online, check it out.

I would love to go to Hong Kong DL! I have to agree with you on the story line, but I imagine it does fit together better in person...and it was supposed to be sort of dream-like and magical.DisneySpin wrote:Hmmm...interesting. Visually it's very nice, but I have reservations about the story. It almost feels more like Journey into Imagination to me, numerous set pieces that are thinly linked together. Weird jumps from Pompeii to medievel arms and armor to Monkey King. Maybe when you're actually going through the attraction the continuity is better. I'm keeping my fav as Phantom Manor. We do need a first person report though.
Actually, you're missing inthe video the back story. Do you remember the stereotyped Brit AA at the beginning/end? He's a collector of rare objects from all over the world. You're going on a tour of his collection, but his monkey Albert causes mischief by opening an enchanted music box, which appears to have the power to bring all the objects in his collection to life (much like the movie "The Night at the Museum"). It would have been nice if we could have gotten video of the ride before being seated in the ride vehicle.DisneySpin wrote:Hmmm...interesting.

Indeed, the human character is basically the non d*ckish version of Hightower from TDS's tower of terror. Both go around the world to gather items to fill their home/museum but the big difference is that Hightower stole his artifacts.mindflipper wrote:Actually, you're missing inthe video the back story.
