HK Disneyland struggling with low attendance; Does Johor still want Mickey??


With poor attendance figures and disappointing earnings results, HK Disneyland's current state of affairs must surely send out messages to our government to think 2 or 3 times about going overboard to attract mickey mouse to Johor.


Despite having a massive hinterland of over 84 million residents in Guangdong with a growing middle class, the theme park's operating income dropped in both the first and second quarters of this year.


What makes Malaysia and UEM in particular so sure that we can sustain a disney theme park in the south where although we do have the ASEAN hinterland, Johor cannot hope to match Hong Kong's superior accessibility. That's where the Singapore challenge comes in although our neighbours will have to work hard to find some decent space to host the likes of Space Mountain and Cinderella's castle.
