It's a Small World will open on April 28, 2008 at Hong Kong Disneyland, and the folks at HKDL Source were lucky enough to get some teasers of what the interior of the ride will look like.

It shows the Hawaiian scene featuring Lilo and Stitch, as well as the Hong Kong skyline.

Ohhhhhh, what have they done....
Failed to the most elementary design rules regarding theming a RIDE: making the transportation technique as unvisible as possible, it ruins the magic of make-believe by making clear how it works, to show the "TRACK".

The old "river" through the animated world, has been exchanged for a plump "sewage-boxed-type-canal"..... Scenes are even based below this high walled box you are in. Terrible !
Disney imagineers FAILED here completely. They made a transport that is on the level of the most ordinary boardwalk-type amusement parks.

So, absolutely a critical NO to this HKDL SW !!
