A Clarkson University professor has concluded that the nightly fireworks show at Hong Kong Disneyland may in fact be harmful to its neighbors.
Unfortunately, this news report didn't elaborate any further, especially on whether this professor has published his findings anywhere other than reporting it to the Hong Kong administration. So it is hard to judge the validity of such technical reports.
I'm sure it isn't pleasent to be downwind from any fireworks show. Unfortunately, this is the same issue that one has to content with when one CHOOSE to live near an airport. The economic properity that is due to the airport, or in this case, the theme park, is what made living in that area so much in demand in the first place. Anaheim would certainly be quite different than what it is now if it weren't for Disneyland. Would it have evolved into a better neighborhood without it? We can only speculate. Of course, the issue here isn't similar to Hong Kong, since the "neighborhood" was already there when Hong Kong Disneyland moved in, even though it is quite a distance away.
