Hong Kong Disneyland has announced the addition of three new attractions to the park.

Animation Academy will comprise an interactive visitor experience where guests can learn how to draw Disney characters from Disney’s animation artists.

Mickey’s WaterWorks – a water-based day parade – will feature a succession of displays showcasing Mickey and his Disney pals.

Both attractions will open in summer 2007.

It’s a Small World will comprise a boat ride containing a colourful cast of international dolls and more than 30 Disney characters singing the famous theme song, It’s a small world (After All).

It will also include an expanded Asia section, featuring famous landmarks such as the Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven and the Hong Kong skyline, as well as Middle Eastern and North American scenes.

The attraction is scheduled to open in the first half of 2008.
