Hong Kong Disneyland 'Sees Jump in Visitor Numbers'

Could this signal a turn-around in both the image and operation of Hong Kong Disneyland? We can only hope so. At least the attendance number is going up, rather than going the wrong way.

Visitor numbers were expected to hit 5.6 million when the park reaches the end of its third year of operation next month, up from 4.2 million the previous year, the South China Morning Post said, citing unnamed sources.

I think any Disney theme parks that open outside of North America should expect several years of growing-pains problem, no matter how much they think they have covered themselves. So Shanghai, be forewarned!
