¡¡HONG KONG, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- Hong Kong Disneyland
has planned a new attraction featuring the alien invasion theme for this year's
Haunted Halloween events that are expected to run from Sept. 18 to Oct. 31, the
park said Wednesday.
"The (Alien Intelligence) Agency reported that a
gigantic spaceship has landed inside Hong Kong Disneyland with signs of alien
life detected onboard," it said in a press release announcing the added
attraction for the upcoming Halloween.
Some other attractions, such as the Main Street
Haunted Hotel and the Demon Jungle, will also come back to the theme park to be
part of the Halloween events.
Together with the Glow in the Park Halloween Parade
and the Space Mountain -- Ghost Galaxy, they are expected to bring scary and
spooky sensation back to the park around Halloween.
Disney villains including pumpkin men, gatekeepers
and pirates will also appear at the Scary Photo Fun locations and Mickey will
also put on spooky Halloween costumes.
The Haunted Halloween offers will be starting one
week earlier this year, with special evening tickets available at 228 HK dollars
(29 U.S. dollars), said Frederick Chan, director of marketing for the park's
Hong Kong business.
Hong Kong Disneyland is one of the five Disneyland
theme parks worldwide. It was inaugurated in 2005 and has since staged Haunted
Halloween events for three years.
