Immigrate to Hong Kong and enjoy life in Hong Kong: You may have visited Hong Kong Disneyland more than once, but have you carefully noticed the little surprises quietly left by Mr. Walt Disney and his engineers in Disney parks around the world? How many of the following 8 hidden details have you, with your sharp eyes, spotted?
1. The surfing Mickey atop the fountain at the entrance does not face the visitors directly; because he is surfing from the direction of Disneyland in California, USA, towards Hong Kong, his back is turned toward California. Additionally, the fountain has 5 water outlets; when viewed from above, the entire fountain forms the shape of a bauhinia, representing Hong Kong.
2. On Main Street, U.S.A., when you board the Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad, several Aliens will quietly appear in the jungle!
3. There are many Hidden Mickeys throughout the entire Disney park that you might miss if you are not careful, including the large clock on Main Street, U.S.A. If you look up at 4:40 every day, you will see a Mickey head! Additionally, Mickey heads made of sulfur stones can be seen in the fountains of Grizzly Gulch.
4. The clock tower outside "it's a small world" chimes every 15 minutes. Seize the time to catch the appearance of the little puppets; they fly quickly around half a circle before the time is displayed.
5. Inside "it's a small world," the arrow on the compass on the ground points to 8 cities, including Bangkok, Nairobi (capital of Kenya), Mumbai, Paris, Beijing, Seoul, New York, and Manila.
6. In Toy Story Land, the airplane model next to the "Toy Soldier Parachute Drop" ride is printed with "PL21696," which is actually the date the movie "Toy Story" was first released in Hong Kong - February 16, 1996.
7. Upon entering Toy Story Land, you will see a giant alphabet board, and the patterns printed on it are all toys belonging to the main character, Andy.
8. Disney Cast Members appear from time to time to draw various animated characters on the ground with brooms. It turns out that the liquid is not clear water, but coffee; it can temporarily leave color on the ground, and it also emits a faint coffee aroma while drawing.
You now have a new excuse to visit Disneyland again next time. Perhaps if you observe carefully, you might discover a 9th unknown secret.
