Hong Kong Disneyland has begun construction of three new themed areas, the Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point and Toy Story Land, as part of its expansion project.
This year, Hong Kong is playing host to the East Asian Games. To ensure the competing athletes experience all that Hong Kong has to offer, the East Asian Games Planning Committee invited the athletes from the nine countries and regions to a "Guam Night" at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.
Hong Kong Disneyland aims to further expand the theme park, on top of the expansion approved earlier this year, because of the planned opening of the Shanghai Disneyland park, the Hong Kong Economic Times reported Monday, citing an unnamed source.
The Big Grizzly Mountain roller coaster at Hong Kong Disneyland will take riders through an abandoned gold mine packed with dynamite and overrun by grizzly bears.
Visitors stepping into Toy Story Land at Hong Kong Disneyland will feel like "Star Wars" action figures in a land of Barbie dolls – smaller-than-life interlopers in a land of larger-than-life toys.
Super-sized Tinker toys, Lincoln logs and dominoes line the walkways as towering "Toy Story" characters Rex the dinosaur and Woody the cowboy welcome visitors at the twin entrances to the lushly landscaped land.
