12	SuperDry Sat 5/3/2008 3:09p	<<< CNY wasn't a problem at all this year. >>> How many babies were thrown over the gates this year?
13	Witches of Morva Sat 5/3/2008 5:38p	ORDDU: I believe they learned their lessons against doing that, by now, SupderDry. At least a witch can hope. ORWEN: You're right, Mr. X, duckling--about Fastpass being the least of their problems over there. Did you hear about how the government is acting silly again and won't let Disney add any more attractions until....until...well, I'm not sure until what-- ORGOCH: --neither is any a THEM goomers!! They just likes ta tease ev'rybody ta death!! One day claimin' they's ready ta add more rides; the next day sayin' they's constipated an' cain't move!!!
14	Malin Sat 5/3/2008 11:23p	<<< Hour long wait times doesn't seem all that crazy to me, honestly. At least that would make the few available attractions last the whole day! ;) >>> You say that but when some of your main attractions are Pooh, it does seem a bit long. In my opinion you should be expected to wait an hour or two for the E Ticket's, but when your having to wait in line an hour to ride Dumbo, something is seriously wrong. The 105 mins for IASW is acceptable because its a brand new attraction and one that is recieving a very strong advertising promotion at the moment. If your having to wait ages for some of the other attractions, than your capacity needs to be address, like is there enough to keep 30,000 guest busy for the day, without having to wait for ages in lines. This not only goes for the attractions but also for the Restuarants.
15	Malin Sat 5/3/2008 11:31p	<<< My biggest complaint(besides the long line) was the lack of trash bins in the queue. I hat seeing lazy people try to balance an empty sod bottle on the rails. It just drives me nuts and I have to point out that they have dropped something. Usually the embarassment of getting caught makes them pick it back up:) >>> Did you make your comments known to City Hall. I would imagine at the moment, due to the present financial state the park is in, your comments would be taken more seriously, than if it was the MK. I admit this sounds like a big problem, but could easily be fixed, by adding a few more trash cans.

One day claimin' they's ready ta add more rides; the next day sayin' they's constipated an' cain't move!!! >>> I think part of the reason for this is down to every time a new article comes out in the Chinese media, its instantly posted on some other Disney board. After a while you really don't know what to think, because there is so much talk. I never expected Disney or the HK Govement to annouce anything new until after IASW to open anyway. I expect attendance and guest feedback to be looked at over the next year, to decide what to do next. No point in building thrill rides if the demand for them are not there, say for instance. And seeing that Space Mountain never uses FP, this could mean guest perfer dark rides to coasters.
17	FerretAfros Sun 5/4/2008 12:10p	"And seeing that Space Mountain never uses FP, this could mean guest perfer dark rides to coasters." While this may be true, I would also like to point out that Space Mountian has at least double the capacity of Pooh. So, without an overly long line, Space Mountain could still get more people through in a day than Pooh with a constant supply of people. I do still think it's kind of strange how they only had one real dark ride in the park when it opened, and they haven't really seemed to make any advacing toward a second one. What ever happened to the rumors that they had already built the space for Peter Pan next too Pooh? When's that going to open?
18	Witches of Morva Sun 5/4/2008 2:04p	ORGOCH: Soon as them dang goomers over there gits off the POT, Ferret, ducklin'. 'Til then, there ain't gonna be no flights ta Neverland er Wonderland er even Ping Pong Dizzyland!!!
19	Malin Sun 5/4/2008 2:58p	ORGOCH are you trying to say Disney Management and the Hong Kong Govement are on pot. Could explain one or two things.

As for further dark rides, hopely with the opening of IASW and the popularity of Pooh, beefing up the park with more dark rides could be an excelent idea. I'm sure the park is full of open spaces where new attractions could be built straight away if the funds were available. I hope if the park builds any more dark rides it will consider using a new idea. How about a Mulan dark ride.
