THE BULLDOZERS ARE STILL WARM AND...

Hong Kong Disneyland has been open for exactly one day and at the luncheon to celebrate, George Mitchell (Disney Chairman) announced plans to build another Disneyland on Lantau near the first one. Apparently this is the same deal as Tokyo Disneyland and EuroDisney, but it still seems like a lot of Disneyland for one island.

He also said that no agreement had yet been reached for a Shanghai Disneyland.

In this Variety article, George says that he is "impressed with the cooperation" of the Hong Kong government. Oh, you mean the fact that they picked up most of the costs to build the park and get just over half the profits, whereas Disney put in about 10% of the costs and own the rest of the profits, including regular royalty payments whether the park is profitable or not?
