香港迪士尼將擴建 新增兩個主題園區
The Hong Kong government and Walt Disney Co are embarking on a HK$10.9 billion expansion of the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, with features that include the world's first "Frozen"- and Marvel Heroes-themed lands to fend off fierce market competition since the Shanghai Disneyland opened in June this year.
香港政府與華特迪士尼公司將投資109億港元對香港迪士尼樂園度假區進行擴建，擴建計劃包括世界首個"冰雪奇緣"和"漫威英雄"主題園區。此舉旨在抵禦今年6月上海迪士尼樂園開園後所帶來的激烈的市場競爭。The Frozen and Marvel-themed facilities are located at the Phase 1 site of HKDL where land formation work has been completed to enable timely commencement of the expansion works.
"冰雪奇緣"和"漫威英雄"主題園區位於香港迪士尼樂園的一期工地，該工地的土地平整工程已經完成，可適時展開擴建工程。
The expansion and development plan will run from 2018 until 2023, and the total number of attractions will increase from about 110 to over 130 after completion.
擴建計劃將於2018年至2023年進行，竣工後園內設施總數將由約110項增至逾130項。
The plan will also transform the current Sleeping Beauty Castle, which is expected to be closed to all visitors from next year until 2019.
擴建計劃還將對現有的睡公主城堡進行改造，該城堡預計將於2017-2019年對所有遊客關閉。The park recorded a loss of HK$148 million last year, while the number of visitors dropped 9.3%.
2015年，香港迪士尼樂園度假區虧損了1.48億港元，遊客數量下滑了9.3%。Shanghai Disneyland－which opened in June－has been flooded with visitors. The mainland park is three times bigger, but ticket prices are similar to those charged by the Hong Kong park.
上海迪士尼樂園於今年7月開園，已經擠滿了遊客。位於中國大陸的這家樂園相當於香港迪士尼的3倍大，不過價格卻基本持平。
