Grrrrr. It is a bad enough view from Fantasyland, imagine how out if place it might look if you can see it from Mystic Point. Walt would be rolling in his grave.  :evil:

But it is from Disney, so it fits everywhere! :lol:  :lol:  Sorry for being sarcastic! No it looks terrible. I still don't get it why Disney is building it in the Disneyland Park.

There does seem to be that mentality arising, it scares me.

I'm wondering what's going to happen in Shanghai? On another forum there is the same discussion about that mentality. There it is about how Universal is doing a better job than Disney at the moment. People moan about the streamlining of merchandise and about cheap attractions, while other companys doing the opposite way.

Oh am sure walt is doing it allready, but i think his soul wanders in all the fans who complain about the wrong
decisions, WDI making these days

I really dislike the fact that this park has an expansion which doesn't follow the classic hub and spoke layout of all of the other Magic Kingdoms. I appreciate that the train cannot lap the park due to regulations there, but this design makes it a divided park, with 3 lands on one side and the rest on the other.

RC Racer does not fit here at all, especially when the view of the Castle there has such a beautiful background with the mountains. Why ruin that with orange pillars of low budget Disney?

It's such a shame because the amount of investment being put into this park is great, but this area almost makes the design and investment into the other two areas void!

agreed Scissorboy when it comes to the horrid TSPL so many fans seem to defend in Paris (vomit), but HKDL is not the only one developed like this. At Disneyland, New Orleans Square, Critter Country and Toontown are not on the hub (you walk under the train tracks to get to Critter Country and toontown). At the MK, Frontierland is not on the hub. At Tokyo Disneyland, Toontown and Critter Country are not on the hub and the train only goes around Frontierland and Adventureland. even in the DLP master plan, Toontown was going to be on the bit between Fantasyland and Discoveryland, and you go under the tracks to reach Storybookland. So that part is not unprecedented.

Bennettshiu over at Micechat.com has posted a park map including Mystic Point, Grizzly Gulch and the "popular" TSPL.

Doesn't the park have ToonTown? I'm sure a ToonTown similar to the one in Cali would be much more fitting than tspl.

No HKDL doesn't have a Toon Town, only the Disneylands in Tokyo and Anaheim have a Tonn Town. The Magic Kingdom at WDW features a similar land called Mickey's Toon Town Fair, but is a very badly themed area and can't really compared to the other Toon Towns. Mickey's Toon Town Fair will be removed to make place for the Fantasyland expansion.

I like Mickey Mouse house in toon Town in WDW so much! So much details and funny things!  Love it!  //http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FtVdpDpIbA

Screamscape.com has posted a new video about the construction of Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point and TSPL. The expansion is really huge.

The word "big" comes to mind. You can really see the scale of this expansion!

...And then I saw TSPL.

[davewasbaloo]

Lol. Yep, HKDL is getting 2 awesome areas and Disneyland with Star Tours 2, TSMM, World of Colour, Little Mermaid, Buena Vista Street and Carsland, both awesome. even the swamps of Florida are getting a remake of Fantasyland.

And yet here we are, with some that still love TSPL, and people salivating over Earl of Sandwich and World of Disney. As much as I love living in europe, I do not much love being a Disney fan in Europe

Here in Europe we are facing difficult times in terms of Disney Parks. There is notheing to be happy about at the moment. No wonderful new attractions, no expansions, no good food, no good merchandise, a bad financial situation, no Star Tours II, no Little Mermaid and even no confirmation for Ratatouille. Instead we got TSPL.

But there is some light at the end of a huge black tunnel: The parks are getting a desperately needed refurbishment. And maybe a nicely themed family dark ride for WDS. Since there is really nothing to be excited about in Paris, I'm happy to see at least something new, like the WoDS.

I know. It is so frustrating. But after 19 years of being a shareholer, and 12 years of being an APer, as well as having the vacation club membership, I am sooooo frustrated.

I am loving the refurbs, but again, it shouldn't have taken this long. I hate the fact that the most beautiful and well thought out Disney resort on the planet is a laughing stock. I want it to be the best. The problem is, as a business, it is not a success. I really wish they would sort it.
