HK Disneyland Expands
香港迪士尼乐园扩建
The Hong Kong Disneyland theme park recently opened Toy Story Land (反斗奇兵大本营), a new attraction based on the Toy Story (《玩具总动员》) trilogy.
香港迪士尼乐园主题公园最近开设反斗奇兵大本营,是基于《玩具总动员》 三部曲的一个新景点。
Toy Story Land marks the first phase of a three-step expansion that will cost $468 million, expand the park by 23 percent by 2013, and boost the number of attractions and shows to more than 100. The hope is that the expansion will boost business at the park, which has performed below expectations since its opening in 2005.
反斗奇兵大本营预示着三步扩张的第一步,它将花费4 亿 6800 万美元的成本,到 2013 年,将扩展公园的23%,增加展示100 多个景点。希望能推动公园的商业发展,因为 2005 年开业以来的公园的收入低于人们的预期。
“We believe it will be a strong boost in terms of business,” said Andrew Kam, Disneyland managing director. “I’m really happy about that, too, because not only does it bring business to Hong Kong Disneyland, it actually creates demand for tourism to Hong Kong.”
安德鲁•卡姆,迪士尼乐园董事总经理说:"我们相信它对商业将产生强有力的推动"。"我为此感到十分高兴,因为它不只会为香港迪士尼乐园带来繁荣,实际上也会提高香港旅游业的需求"。
Toy Story Land is situated in a space that makes guests feel as if they have been shrunk to the size of a toy. Among its attractions is an 80-foot “Toy Soldier Parachute Drop (玩具兵团跳降伞).” Over the next two years, the park will add “Grizzly Gulch (灰熊山谷)” and “Mystic Point (迷离庄园)” theme areas.
反斗奇兵大本营坐落在一个让客人感觉好像他们已被缩减到玩具的大小的空间。其景点之间有一个80 英尺的"玩具兵团跳降伞"。未来两年内,公园将添加"灰熊山谷"和"迷离庄园"的主题领域。
Visitors invited to the launch of the new area said they enjoyed it. “Great view of the park when you get up to the top and it was just great dropping down,” said Mandy Petty, who had just tried the Toy Soldier Parachute Drop. “It wasn’t too scary, just within the comfort zone.”
游客应邀游玩推出的新区域,并说他们玩的很开心。"当你在跳伞区最高处时你可以俯瞰整个公园并且一定十分乐意在这里来个愉快刺激的降落,"曼迪•佩蒂说,刚刚试玩了玩具兵团跳降伞。"并不会觉得很可怕,刚刚好觉得很舒适的范围"。
The theme park’s performance has been disappointing over recent years. It was reported to have made a loss of $169.4 million in 2009, while attracting 4.6 million visitors. Once the expansion is complete, visitor numbers are projected to rise to between 5.2 million and 8 million by 2015.
近几年来,主题公园的表现令人失望。据报道 2009 年虽然吸引 460 万访客却损失了1 亿 6940 万美元。到 2015 年之间完成扩建后,游客数量预计将上升到 520 万和 800 万。
