Maybe if the land was bigger and they had more rides, it would have a more interesting story. I guess that they didn't have much of a reason for a bigger story, since they only wanted to make a setting for one E-ticket ride.

It's not a Land it's a Gulch and the setting for one E-ticket ride as you say. But I like it because it is different and not the same as Frontierland which we might compare it to.

I've always wondered if they could incorporate three three new lands into Adventureland, so that they represent adventures in different parts of the world. What I think is strange about Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom is how they have three lands next to each other with no transition between them; like Frontierland, Liberty Square and Critter Country. It's nice to have it kept simple with about four or five big, immersive lands.

HKDL doesn't look as good as other Magic Kingdoms and definitely not as good as DLP. But at least Disney have created something different for HKDL with Grizzly Gulch and Mystic point, I do see some merit in that and it does make discussing the parks more interesting. However I'm not keen on Toy Story Land in the Magic Kingdom.

Anyone know if there's any more news on Mystic Point? Has Mystic Manor's facade been finished yet?

Ah, thanks. Its looking good, the facade is going to look great.

I completely agree. Just like Disneyland Paris.

I love new Orleans square and critter country but it does seem like those areas were added in just for one E-ticket ride. I hope any new attractions at DLP have their own unique feel within the area but also aren't too different from the overall theme of the land, keeping the experience immersive like you said. Don't want any miniland growths in DLP (although I'd be ecstatic with any new attraction)

A first PoV video has been posted on youtube.

It's, of course, a SPOILER

As I don't plan on going to HKDL  to experience Mystic Manor for myself, I thought I would watch the video. The ride looks fantastic as does the show building, 100% the sort of ride I go to Disney theme parks for. Hopefully Ratatouille in the WDS will be as good with effects. Mystic Point may not be part of a bigger land like we're used to such as Adventureland, but I like it  because it's unique for HKDL.

This is probably the first ride since Journey Into Imagination that a new ride has a new dark ride theme song running all the way through it. I'm so glad WDI haven't forgotten the way they used to do things.
