Mickey Mouse in China
Imagine a large happy crowd of kids having merry and laughter in a playground with see saw, swing, slide, merry-go-round, and other fun toys. Joyous cheers filling the broad happy space.
Now imagine a playground with just a lone see-saw. You find two happy faces with long lines of grumpy faces behind them… waiting for their turn to play with the see-saw.
That’s disneyland hong kong for you - a disney themepark with one quarter the attractions/size of the other disneylands around the world (err.. sorry for being a little harsh.. i’m sure kids & adults alike do enjoy themselves in disneyland hong kong too).
For tourists visiting hong kong, I’d think that a better choice would be hong kong’s ocean park - perhaps much more entertaining and enjoyable, and definitely a much more unique hong kong attraction.
Doesn’t help that Shanghai is opening another disneyland - Disneyland in shanghai (wsj, $$).
Maybe this one will come with both the see-saw and the swing. One thing’s for sure - we will see more happy faces on the kids.
