Hong Kong Disneyland is celebrating its 20th anniversary today with the release of new concept art for a couple of upcoming attractions.
Hong Kong Disneyland opened September 12, 2005. The park has been expanding with new attractions, including its World of Frozen land in 2023. [See Disney does it again with Hong Kong's new 'Frozen' land.]
Next up for the park are Marvel- and Pixar-themed attractions. Today, Hong Kong Disneyland shared new concept art for what it is calling "brand-new immersive theatrical adventure" with Pixar characters.
There's no name or opening date for this production, which will blend practical and digital characters and environments.
Also in the works in the park's Tomorrowland is an expansion of its Marvel presence.
"Team up with the Avengers for an unexpected adventure in the thrilling new Marvel-themed experience," the park said in releasing these two new images today.
Again, there's no official name or opening date for this attraction, though the concept art suggests a Mission Breakout/Tower of Terror-style drop ride, which Hong Kong Disneyland does not now have.
Hong Kong Disneyland's Tomorrowland currently features two Marvel-themed attractions: Iron Man Experience, which rethemed the old Star Tours motion theater ride, and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle!, which rethemed the old Buzz Lightyear dark ride.

I think Disney's lame attempts at Marvel attractions are byproducts of trying to separate themselves from Universal by being "modern" and "futuristic". Very few Disney rides are as good as Hulk and Spiderman.
I've spent one day in my life at HK Disneyland and it was a memorable one. The park is awesome and not packed with guests. This marvel ride seems pretty cool. Judging by the home runs that are the Guardians of the Galaxy rides, Mission Breakout in DCA and Cosmic Rewind in Epcot, I'm confident that Disney will do right with this new ride.
Well said DangerGoat !!!

The Marvel universe is diverse and visually interesting, from the Rainbow Bridge leading to Asgard to the Afro-futuristic streets of Wakanda. Even a New York City with superheroes swinging or flying overhead would have an amazing kinetic energy. And yet, Disney has created the most boring lands out of the IP. This is an area where the company could really compete with Universal, and they drop the ball every single time.
