Hong Kong Disneyland

From The Unofficial DisneyWiki

Jump to: navigation, search
Hong Kong Disneyland is the third international version of the Walt Disney Company theme park franchise and fifth worldwide. Officially opened on September 12, 2005, it currently is the smallest of all the theme parks, but is said to be larger than its California counterpart when it first opened.

The park occupies Penny's Bay on the territory's largest outlying island, Lantau Island, and is connected by a special branchline extending from the MTR's Tung Chung Line at Sunny Bay Station, and runs non-stop to Disneyland Resort Station with a specially decorated train. The line is run by the MTR Corporation. The Park is controlled by the Hong Kong SAR Government and the Walt Disney Company, share ratio 51:49. Its largest and sole local competitor is the long-established Ocean Park, which is approximately twice the size of the current Disneyland.

The resort consists of just one theme park, as compared to the California and Florida resorts, which are essentially a collection of theme parks. Due to the lack of land in the territory and public awareness concerning reclamation, the park had become quite compact, similar in this respect to the urban area of Hong Kong. The design of the park remains loyal to the original's design, with Main Street, USA being almost exactly the same design, in exception to the street made of bricks instead of asphalt.
