My second gate ideas for Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disney Resort

[Elijah Abrams]

Currently, Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disney Resort are the only two Disney resorts in the world that do not have second gate parks, unlike Disneyland Resort California, Disneyland Paris, and Tokyo Disney Resort (Walt Disney World has FOUR gates!). That got me thinking of two ideas for second gates of the Hong Kong and Shanghai resorts respectively:

• Disney’s Seven Seas Park (Hong Kong Disneyland Resort) - Basically similar to Tokyo DisneySea, but also features a Pirates land, a Polynesia/South Pacific land, and a beach.
• Shanghai Disney Studios (Shanghai Disney Resort) - A movie-themed park dedicated to moviemaking in Asia.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

I don't know if they need a "Studios" style park, but a land themed around Hong Kong style action movies would rule. I don't know that Disney has ever made anything like that though - maybe that Around the World in 80 Days movie with Jackie Chan. I think Disney owns that.

I remember there being rumors that Shanghai's second park would be something similar to Animal Kingdom. Even if that was just rumors, I think that idea would be pretty solid especially with a Pandora-like land.

I’d like to see Hong Kong get a World Showcase-like park, only with more rides and less shops and restaurants than the one in Epcot. Also I’d organize everything by “continents” - the entrance would be roughly in the west and would be themed to North America, then working clockwise around a central lagoon would be Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and South America.
