Hong Kong Disneyland Photo & Video Update

[robbalvey]

Hey everyone!

We've just completed a huge update for Hong Kong Disneyland with about 150 new photos and 5 ride videos (Space Mountain w/ Lights On, Jungle Cruise which is different from any other Magic Kingdom's version, Winnie the Pooh, Buzz Lightyear, and our "fun" video!)

Here are some highlights:

Looks *very* familiar, doesn't it?


Yup....they got the "tiny" castle!


They have tons of that "weird flavored" popcorn here too!


Tomorrowland still has a lot of room for growth.


Buzz Lightyear was pretty much the same as the Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris versions.


Oddly enough, Jungle River Cruise was a highlight of the park!


Cool fire and water effects!

Anyway, you can check out the rest of the photos and download the ride videos here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/hkdl/hkdl1.htm

Robb, love the site... but some of these look terribly similar to the ones you posted mid last year. Even the captions are the same. I remember because I used it as a reference before I went on my own holiday.

Oh wait....just checked the site. These ARE the same set from last year, but updated slightly. Cheers!

^ Um...it's not the same set. We only posted a small group of the photos and only 1 video (Space Mountain) in our intial update.

We just put together the overall "park video" a couple of months ago, and the ride videos: Jungle Cruise, Pooh, and Buzz were done last week.

So it's a LOT more than your "updated slightly" assessment.

EDIT: Oh, I see...you run a "HKDL Fan Site" so now I totally understand where your comment comes from!

No, I just felt sure that I had seen a great deal of those photos before. In fact, I still feel as though I have (maybe I've just seen too many photos of the park ).

You posted quite a few photos at the time of the trip, though, and I think every time I saw one that I had already seen, I got the feeling I had seen the whole set before. That's all. We could arm wrestle over it, but I see from your photos you have a small cannon between your legs. And the ability to eat small castles.

Always love the site. Keep up the sterling effort, old chap!
