Future rides at Hong Kong Disneyland

With HK Disneyland opening with very few rides, WDI has begun planning for new rides for the park within the next few years. Here are some rumored upcoming additions to Disney's 11th theme park:

Autopia- Just like Autopia in Disneyland. It is confirmed and is scheduled to open in 2006.

It's a Small World- From what I've heard, it will be a copy of IASW in Disneyland. Not confirmed, but could open as soon as 2007/2008.

Pirates of the Caribbean/ Skull Mountain- This would be a combination of POTC and Splash Mountain. This sounds very promising, but might not get the green light for a long time. It is rumored that it could open 2008/2009.

UFO Zone- a kids play area with spaceships and fountains. Scheduled to open at the same time as Autopia.

Haunted Mansion- This is very much a rumor, but it could open as early as 2008, if it gets the green light.

Downtown Disney- This seems like a very logical addition to HKD, but no opening date is known at this time.

2nd Gate- I guess that Disney has already began clearing land next to HKD for a second theme park. It could also be a water park (rumored Pirates themed water park?). Details won't be known for several more years.

Yeah, it sounds pretty awesome. From what I've heard, the ride would, for the most part, be like the normal Pirates of the Caribbean, except the finale of the ride would involve the guest plummeting out of the mouth of a giant skull into the waters below (very similar to SM). This ride would be very expensive and thus will take a long time to get the green light. But if it does get of the drawing board and into Adventureland at HKD, it will be amazing.

Re: Future rides at Hong Kong Disneyland

The pirates attraction sounds VERY cool! Looks like they are slated to get some really neat attractions....shame they are so long off. What attractions do they have now? or how many I should say?

Re: Future rides at Hong Kong Disneyland

I am really looking forward to seeing their interpretation of the Haunted Mansion. With such a late intro date, I imagine several new ideas and themes are being looked into.
