Earlier this month, Hong Kong Disneyland celebrated their 20th anniversary and among the many parties, parades, and performances, the park also released more news about their two new major expansion projects that are currently underway: a Pixar entertainment offering and new Marvel-themed experiences.
The new Pixar adventure will be an immersive theatrical show centred on the world of Monsters, Inc. that promises to be fun, heartwarming, and ‘unlike anything ever done before at Hong Kong Disneyland’. According to the park, the experience will utilise cutting-edge theatrical technology that blends real and digital environments, so our best guess is it might be something similar to the ‘It’s Tough to Be a Bug’ show at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom (which closed to make way for a Zootopia attraction in March this year, RIP!) or the ‘Muppet*Vision 3D’ show in Disney World’s Hollywood Studios (which also finished its run permanently earlier this year in June after over 30 years) – but likely with less animatronics and updated animation style.
Tomorrowland in Hong Kong Disneyland will also be expanding with a new Marvel-themed attraction. According to a teaser posted on Instagram, there will be a brand-new futuristic-looking building in the Stark Expo zone, and if the concept art is anything to go by, the venue will star Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Thor, and Black Panther, and will contain what looks like a drop tower ride similar to ‘The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror’ or the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout!’ experiences.
This Marvel ride will join expanded entertainment and shopping offerings featuring inventions and technologies from the Avengers and their friends, according to the park. Hong Kong Disneyland is currently home to two Marvel attractions, the ‘Iron Man Experience’ and the ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle’, which are both exclusive to this location.
There’s no word yet on when these Marvel and Pixar attractions will be unveiled, but given the scale of the expansion, we’re likely looking at 2026 or 2027. What would you like to see at these new Hong Kong Disneyland offerings?
