I do not have a compiled list but that sounds about right to me DLCraze as far as I could see from the preview.

"City Hall" is an "Attraction"? That is sad.

But I'm going to try to make it to the park during the opening month anyway. Who wants to join me?

[TDLFAN]

Well...I am booked to be there with my better half and another friend in early November, but I get the feeling I will land in Hong Kong in late sept or early Oct on business... so I may be around a full day to enjoy HKDL right out of the box.

Wish I had the cash, Dusty. Too bad I can't put my face in a cash register. Perhaps in 5 years when they've expanded a bit.. and you know.. I've graduated from college.

[TDLFAN]

Graduated from college???? OMG, you are all babies!!! Anyone here around my age??? :o

[Witches of Morva]

ORDDU: Oh, dear!! What an unfortunate time for a witch to have conflicting schedules. Normally I'd follow you ANYWHERE, Dusty Sage, duckling. But, for the whole month of September, I'm going to be involved with some Hex Education classes that I simply MUST pass some tests for--or else risk losing my Magic Practitioner's license. Perhaps another time, duckling?

YOUR AGE?!??!?!

Oh no, I doubt anyone here is ancient enough to remember the dinosaurs and when Disney had real attractions ... City Hall?!??! I would love to hear a publicist spin that one. That would be an E-Ticket spinner!

[TDLFAN]

Hey wait a moment!! I am not *THAT* old!!!

[FigmentJedi]

City Hall is an attraction. You can thrill to all the people complaining after feeling betrayed and that had hoped for an actually good park.

[omiyage]

I will be studying in Japan this fall, and hopefully get the chance to stop by HK before the semester starts in late September. I mean, I WILL get the chance. I just have to

[GeneralShang]

I'm soo excited that they have Mickey's PhilharMagic! I'm still planning a trip with my sister to attend the opening (or at least some time in the opening week)! I'm soo excited for that!

City Hall listed as an attraction? They might as well list all shops and dining locations as attractions. Better yet include all the photo spots. Of course, it is still too early to say anything negative or positive about HK Disneyland. By opening day, City Hall could include a muesuem/gallery.

On the side note, my parents are persuaing me to change our Fall vacation from Asia to New Zealand and Australia - NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must have a Disneyland in my vacation.

The building behind (and part of) City Hall seems pretty big. It might very well be an attraction.

[GeneralShang]

City Hall Attraction: It's the new era in Disneyland attractions! You, the guest, will now have the opportunity to get behind the counter at City Hall and perform Guest Relations tasks such as taking complaints from ridiculously infuriated parents because their children's favorite ride is closed and they've paid lots of money to get in the park, denying teenages wheelchair passes because it's obvious they're faking it, and SOO much more!

That's what I thought about when I first read that City Hall was an attraction. hahha. It'll be fun to see what is really going on with City Hall once it opens! Can't wait to get over there in Sept!!

[TDLFAN]

Let's hope that is City Hall at HKDL is really an attraction, I sure would hope for them to have some little exhibit... but that is doubtful.

[Witches of Morva]

ORWEN: I agree, TDLFAN, duckling. Maybe they could even have something comparable to Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. Hmmmm....let's see, How about Great Moments with Mau Tse Tung?

[SpeMarX]

Odds are good. I mean look at the size of it!

Doesn't it seem like there is a lot of wasted space in this park? Look at all the space between Main Street and Adventurland. What about all the space on the south side of Tomorrowland behind Buzz and that resturaunt?

[TDLFAN]

Backstage operations I guess. They are only showing us what they want us to see.

Even the other parks have a lot of wasted space in the backside of Main Street. MK for one have a huge parking lot behind Tomorrowland and Main Street East which could be used for expansion of both lands if they wanted to, or at least, walking arcades like those at DLP to alliviate congestion on crowded days.
