I don't know if this belongs in the rumor mill but the expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland has apparently been announced.

30 new attractions will be added to the park while three new lands will materialize behind Adventureland. This park will be really unique now as no Frontierland will be added. Instead it will be Grizzly Trail (Weird Name) which hosts the small mining town of Grizzly Gulch. The mountain here would be Grizzly Mountain rather than Big Thunder Mountain, and the coaster within it would be a combination of Expedition Everest and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Mystic Point will be the next land beyond the berm. This is where the park's answer to the Haunted Mansion is found. Mystic Manor, a combo of the Haunted Mansion, Pooh's Hunny Hunt, and the Tower of Terror at Tokyo DisneySea. The story is that a big traveler has a mansion full of mysterious artifacts like the Tower of Terror at TDS. A monkey breaks into his house and opens up a music box, causing tons of supernatural things to happen. The ride is trackless rather than tracked, allowing a different experience each time. The one thing that has made a lot of fans happy about this room is a revival of the Adventurer's Club placed here.

Toy Story Land will be an almost exact clone as Toy Story Playland, the next land to be placed in Walt Disney Studios at Disneyland Paris. In case you haven't heard of it, it's like a bug's land at California Adventure only you're shrunken down to the size of a toy, and all the toys from story are having a fair. If and when Toy Story Midway expands to all the resorts, this is probably where it's going to land. I don't see anything wrong with it but a lot of fans seemed to have been angered by this decision. It's a Pixar land so that's probably why they're so up and arms. Well what do they expect a land themed to Aladdin? What else could work like Toy Story Land?

The only news that is a little saddening to me is there's no announcement of Pirates of the Caribbean yet. Everyone kept saying there was going to be a big Pirateland beyond the berm of Adventureland, but now there's a Grizzly Trail, a Mystic Point, and a Toy Story Land. If Hong Kong Disneyland ever receives a sister park, then maybe it will go there, although it would be kind of sad to go to the Magic Kingdom and find no Pirates of the Caribbean, movie characters or not. Maybe there will be a Pirates in Adventureland in the future.

The pricetag Disney is throwing into the project is assumed to be 452 million dollars.

The only thing that doesn't appear to have found a home yet is
If for one agree with all the changes, it's good to see that Disney and Hong Kong are doing something to help that poor little theme park that wanted to be a big theme park.

Thanks to Micechat and Disney and more for the big news:
