Hong Kong Disneyland is set to expand with three new lands wrapped behind the far side of Adventureland.  The new lands will include unique attractions with some familiar influences.  Grizzly Trail will feature a Big Thunder Mountain style roller coaster in a Grizzly Mountain setting, Mystic Point will have a Haunted Mansion style ride with elements and theme similar to the Tower of Terror, and Toy Story Land will be filled with Pixar themed children's attractions.  The expansion addresses the current lack of attractions at Hong Kong Disneyland and resulting poor attendance.  Join us for full descriptions and detailed photos.
