Press Release:
The Haunted Halloween returns to Hong Kong Disneyland
Darkness intensifies as it invades a whole new territory of the Park

(HONG KONG, August 26, 2008) - Beginning September 26, 2008, for 37 heart-pounding and haunting days until November 1, 2008, an expanded and intensified dark force will rule over the Resort during the Haunted Halloween at Hong Kong Disneyland. The Darkness will return stronger than ever, extending its reach into Adventureland, daring adrenaline junkies, scare fanatics and the curious to step into this uncharted territory. This never-before-seen frightful experience will come to life at Hong Kong Disneyland this Halloween season.

The Dark Forces Expand Their Territory - All-New Haunted Experiences in Adventureland
The Darkness of the Haunted Halloween will take over even more of Hong Kong Disneyland this year.

With the dark forces expanding their domain into Adventureland, Guests will encounter the recently discovered Demon Jungle. Treasure seeking, tomb raiding explorers made their camp on a sacred burial ground enraging the demons below, who are now seeking vengeance on all those who enter. Guests will need all their willpower to escape, and finding the exit will definitely be a challenge. This terrifying experience is specially designed for Hong Kong Disneyland!

If Guests are lucky enough to escape, they will face another unexpected challenge on the Adventureland Haunted Trail. A Halloween-themed photo hot spot by day, it will be transformed into a mist shrouded trail on Friday and Saturday nights, inhabited with creatures such as Zombies, Gatekeepers and Pirates, as well as grinning Pumpkin Men that will have Guests jumping with fright.

More Traces of Intensified Darkness Found
Back by popular demand, the Resort's exclusive Glow in the Park Halloween Parade will feature more spectacular UV lighting effects as it glows in the dark, creating engaging experiences and spectacular effects. Jack Skellington as the Pumpkin King, Dr. Finklestein together with Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Disney's Villains, zombies and acrobatic Red Devils are all part of the scare. Watch out for the rousing finale as the Ghost Pirate Ship makes its premiere in this year's parade!

The Main Street Haunted Hotel will reopen this year. The ghost of Victoria Maxwell will be up to her ultra scary antics at the hotel; there will be new spine tingling scares as she welcomes new and returning victims. Even Guests who escaped last year are welcome to check-in, but will they manage to check-out...?

More traces of darkness will be found at Tomorrowland as Space Mountain is transformed into Space Mountain - Ghost Galaxy. Get lost in the terror of a frightening soundtrack and the hair-raising visual effects, with scary apparitions and ghoulish monstrosities around every treacherous bend.

The immersive experience begins the moment Guests enter the Resort with all-new spooky décor including Pumpkin King Jack Skellington and Sally greeting Guests from the Main Gates. In addition, there are 160 all-new merchandise items as well as Halloween themed menus and drinks.

"The Haunted Halloween at Hong Kong Disneyland was an overwhelming success last year and it was only through the Disney Difference that Guests were able to experience a totally immersive and interactive Halloween event," said Maple Lee, Vice President, Marketing of Hong Kong Disneyland.

"According to statistics from Guest surveys, satisfaction levels during the Haunted Halloween 2007 reached 90%! This year, we have created an even more frightening and extensive Halloween experience."

With young adults in mind, the Resort will once again launch a limited time Halloween evening ticket for Fridays and Saturdays. Designed for entry after 6:30pm (the Park will remain open on these days until 11:00pm), night goers can experience the intensely dark Haunted Halloween at its peak. Evening tickets will cost HK$198 for all age categories.

"Last year, the majority of Guests visiting the Haunted Halloween at Hong Kong Disneyland were aged between 18 and 24. We are confident that our evening ticket will once again offer a flexible option to our young adult Guests this year."

Beginning August 27, 2008, day tickets and evening tickets for the Haunted Halloween at Hong Kong Disneyland can be purchased at the Main Gate of the Park, through the Resort's website, at the Hong Kong Disneyland Ticket Express at MTR Hong Kong Station as well as at select Circle K outlets. A special ticket booth located at the Peak will also be opened on September 3, 2008.

:shock: Wow, that looks very dark for a Disney season, in fact I don't think that I've ever seen one that looks so dark! :o But it does look good though, and if it's going to bring in more guests, then it'll be fantastic for HKDL :)

Whoa looks awesome, i have always been dissapointed that DLRP halloween is mainly for kids and there is nothing scary, a few scary things wouldn't hurt, well that's my opinion.
