HONG Kong Disneyland is set to open Grizzly Gulch on July 14, the second and largest of three themed areas built as part of the resort’s US$460 million expansion plan.

Grizzly Gulch, which comes less than a year after the November 2011 debut of Toy Story Land, was created exclusively for the resort. Set in a Wild West-inspired landscape, it will feature a welcome show, photographic points, F&B outlets and the Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars, which are 24-pax terrain-style coasters running through the entire zone.

To drive awareness of Grizzly Gulch, the resort will leverage on webinars and online videos to showcase the new attraction to over 2,000 trade partners in the region. Three preview days for the travel trade will also be held consecutively in July.

The third themed area, Mystic Point, is scheduled to open in 2013.
