HONG KONG DISNEYLAND RIOT
Well, not really a riot, but the park is revamping after being open for a shakedown week. Sunday was a charity day and the park hit its capacity of around 30,000 visitors. The lines were long, the people were angry, the people were hungry. With two big holidays coming up, HK Financial Secretary Henry Tsang is meeting with Mickey, Goofy and the gang to figure out ways to make it better.
They've added 187 immigration officers at the border for Mainland guests, added 20 food carts and 600 more seats to the restaurants, they're extending the operating hours and limiting the number of daily tickets that can be sold to 15,000.
So let me get this straight: the park's capacity is supposed to be 30,000/day. But they're hitting capacity, it's not working, so now they're going to halve the amount of tickets that can be sold?
It sounds like Uncle Walt didn't do his marketing studies.
