Shanghai Disney park casts shadow over Hong Kong

The highly anticipated Shanghai Disneyland, scheduled to open next spring, will put further pressure on Hong Kong's already struggling tourism industry while pushing up Shanghai's revenues, according to experts.

Disney chairman and CEO Robert Iger gave details of the theme park's main areas and attractions at a major unveiling in Shanghai on Wednesday.

The $5.5 billion park, Disney's first on the Chinese mainland and second in China, will have six themed areas including Mickey Avenue and Tomorrowland. There will be a section where visitors can interact with characters from the Star Wars and Marvel movies.
