Currently riding high at the international box office, “Ant-Man and the Wasp” is set to become a major new attraction at the Hong Kong Disneyland theme park.

Some elements of the then unnamed ride were teased at the D23 Expo in Japan earlier this year. The attraction will debut in 2019 as the park continues the multi-year expansion of the Hong Kong resort.

In its first phase of major expansions, Hong Kong opened the “Iron Man Experience’ in 2017, which HKDL says has been consistently rated as the park’s top attraction since opening. “More Marvel experiences will be launched as part of the multi-year expansion of (the park) that extends through 2023, making HKDL an ultimate hub for Super Hero experiences in the region,” the company said.

Kaleido Park, a Dutch Flower Garden is to temporarily take residence in the eventual second park’s plot. Headline states Disney doesn’t plan to develop the land until 2023 and beyond.

Has preparation work / land clearing started for the second park. These pictures were taken a month ago from the walk leading from Disneyland MRT station to the unused Disney resort ferry pier.

Ongoing construction work around the castle and in Tomorrowland:

I heard they were working on the structural support. So a lot of this wont be seen yet as it's internal in the current structure.

Completion of the castle transformation was pushed back to 2020 and yes, I am sure that picture is up-to-date.

Why would they wall it up six months ago and just let it sit? If they've been doing foundation work, they should be going vertical by now. HKDL moves at glacial pace when it comes to expansion projects.

I do not know if construction on the new castle has gone vertical but if so it hasn't gone above the fence yet...
