Hong Kong Disneyland

I enjoyed myself here much more than I thought I would. Space Mountain now known as Hyperspace Mountain thanks to the Star Wars takeover is awesome, as you are pulled up the slope with the Millennium Falcon hyperspace blue all around you then thrown violently around in the dark to the sound of Tie Fighter and X-Wing laser fire. It's a wonder how they fit the rather long rollercoaster experience into that building! Iron Man is a lot of fun as you sit in a simulator and are taken along for the ride in front of a 3D screen, and the shows are actually very clever. The Lion King is a big dance and singalong fest lasting 30 minutes and Mickey Mouse's Book sees him running through various Disney stories to stop Olaf from Frozen melting. Cue a medley of songs from Brave, The Princess and the Frog, The Little Mermaid, The Jungle Book and more. Donald Duck also has a show that starts off small and ends big as the Imax screen unfolds for an immersive 3D experience. It's a great day out with other highlights including the Mystic Castle where objects come alive thanks to a naughty monkey playing with a magic box, and a rather scary ride at the new Toy Story area where you're rocked back and forth vertically in a race car. A good day out for sure.
