Anyway, have a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...mxJF0GrQ Yeah, its Youtube, so its a little grainy unfortunately and I had problems making out of the children and characters but I have to say not a bad job :). Basically like all the rest of them, some of the scenes are more updated of course and I like the fact Hong Kong is included specifically in it. As for the characters, supposedly there are around 30 added, but with the grainy issue and just because the camera can't catch everything, I can't see very many. I did catch Woody, Alladin and Jasmine. I also caught the Little Mermaid and lol when I noticed Nemo and Dory were added right next to her as well. I never been a huge IASW fan...okay, I get bored out of my head most of the time, but I have to say this looks like a nice addition and SHOULD'VE been there day one. Honestly, this was a no-brainer Disney. As for the character stuff, I will have to watch it a few more times to catch more of them, but they honestly don't feel all that obtrusive, but I know, I know, the actual experience of being there is different than grainey online videos. I guess never really caring for the ride in the first place just doesn't have me swept up in the outrage lol. It just really doesn't bother me, especially for HKDL. It's just the ENTIRE issue of the toons being to everything in general. Anyway, this video saved me another excuse for not visiting HKDL this year ;).
2	WorldDisney Sun 4/20/2008 12:59a	LOL, someone already posted it in the DL general a few hours ago....but not here, funny :). Oh well, but people can still talk about it here as well and not JUST the 'controversy' over the characters added, but also the ride overall and if people think it will get people enough to visit HKDL a little more.

I caught Pocohontas, Pinochio and a few others this time around. I like it even more than before after watching this video. Sooo colorful :).

5	WorldDisney Sun 4/20/2008 4:26a	Hey Mr. X, you got mail :). And I don't HATE it, but I don't like it very much either ;). But, for what it is, sure it looks nice and i would probably ride it of course at least once. But, I never been on the Paris or WDW versions so who knows lol. Besides, this is HKDL, what else are we going to talk about :)~.

7	Malin Sun 4/20/2008 5:38a	High School Musical, ok maybe not. I'm saving my opinions on this until after I've been on the attraction next month, but did take a quick peek at one or two videos. My first throught is that I much perfer the flooded scenes.
8	phoebus Sun 4/20/2008 6:39a	I must say this is very similar to the Disneyland version. It is huge (much longer than the DLP version), but a bit too dark (the DLP version is much more colorfull and brighter). One big disappointment: the final scene, wihch seems smaller than in the other versions ! For me, the perfect version would be a mix between the Disneyland version and the DLRP version...
