Hong Kong Disneyland is to introduce a Haunted Hotel for Halloween in the hope of broadening the park's appeal, especially to the important market of early teen visitors.It is expected to become a permanent attraction as Disney maps out longer-term plans to develop.

Main Street Haunted Hotel, which will be next to the Plaza Inn restaurant on Main Street, USA, is a relatively dark attraction. Last year's pumpkin-themed Disney Halloween bash, the park's first, was more family-oriented.
The park is also offering tickets for HK$198 for admission after 6.30pm until it closes at 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays and on October 31. Regular adult admission is HK$350. "In response to guest feedback, we designed this year's Halloween celebration so young adults will have a frightfully good time," said Jill Estorino, the theme park's senior vice-president of marketing.
A spokesman declined to disclose how much was being invested. The haunted house is a permanent and popular fixture at all of Disney's Magic Kingdoms, except in Hong Kong, where such signature rides are lacking.

So far, the only major attraction here is the Space Mountain indoor roller coaster.
The Haunted Hotel is scheduled to open from September 25 to October 31.
But it is also set to be a trial for a permanent offering, according to sources familiar with construction. The prefabricated attraction was built in the US state of Utah and was airfreighted to Hong Kong. It would be housed in a tent, the sources said. In keeping with the theme of Main Street, USA, the haunted hotel evokes a "small town America" feel, with a front desk, bridal suite, kitchen and secret passageways, the sources said. Apparitions of a tragic bride and other ghostly characters will make appearances. The walk through the attraction will take about 15 minutes, the sources said. The spokesman said it could accommodate "several hundred people at any one time".
John Ap, Polytechnic University's associate professor of tourism, said young teens were not that interested in Disneyland, which has to strike a balance between family fun and a Halloween experience.
Its competitor, Ocean Park, boasts that its Halloween event is the best in the world. It is planning to host seven haunted houses and three "scary zones" this year.

Some additional info for ya'll. I'm REALLY hoping my trip isn't cancelled again ... although, at the same time, I hope this all isn't too scary.
