Disneyland Hong Kong Surpasses One Million Guests

HONG KONG (Ultimate Roller Coaster) – More than one million guests have visited Disney's newest theme park in Hong Kong since its opening in September according to a statement released from Disney. "When we build a resort, we do so with the expectation that it's a long-term asset lasting well beyond 50 years," says Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo. "The bottom-line is this: attendance is ramping up well, which continues to give us confidence that we are on track to achieve our long-term at-tendance goals." The company also reports that guests are giving the new Hong Kong Disneyland high marks for cleanliness, cast member friendliness, hotel experiences and entertainment on surveys con-ducted at the theme park. Relying on positive guest feedback, Hong Kong Disneyland is already expand-ing and enhancing the park experience beyond today's top attractions. The first major new attraction to be added to the park since its opening will be the long-time guest favorite Autopia, debuting in summer 2006 and featuring battery-powered vehicles traveling a whimsical highway.
