Toy Story Land Attraction Profile


O


fficially launched on November 17, Toy Story Land marks the first part of the Playtime expansion at Disney’s Hong Kong Disneyland. This brand new land within a land, exclusive to Asia, adopts a very a similar blueprint to Toy Story Playland at the Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris and is of course inspired by the hit Disney- Pixar Toy Story animated films. “Today we mark the beginning of another new and exciting chapter at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort with the opening of Toy Story Land, the first of three new themed areas of our expansion project,” noted Bill Ernest, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts’ president and managing director for Asia, at the opening ceremony. “For the first time ever, Hong Kong Disneyland Guests can experience the feeling of being shrunk to the size of a toy when they enter Andy’s backyard to play with their favourite Toy Story friends.”


Three key attractions are featured in this richly themed area, with large toy props around every corner. RC Racer is a Half Pipe coaster featuring a giant U-Shaped track, while Toy Soldier Parachute Drop is Disney’s twist on the classic parachute ride made famous at Coney Island in New York. Slinky Dog Spin, meanwhile, is a themed Caterpillar ride. Also on hand are new food and beverage options, entertainment, photo opportunities and merchandise. Subsequent to the opening of Toy Story Land, the second themed area of the new Playtime area, Grizzly Gulch, will be opened to the public in 2012, followed by the third, Mystic Point, in 2013. The whole expansion will increase the admittedly small Hong Kong park’s physical footprint by 23% and bring the number of attractions, entertainment facilities and show to more than 100.


Both new lands should prove popular over the Christmas and, more importantly, Chinese New Year holidays and as both parks are still in the middle of major redevelopment plans, there is even more to come over the coming years!
