Hong Kong, September 17 2009 — A dark force is back and this time it’s brought the Alien Invasion with it! An alien spaceship has crash landed in Tomorrowland as predicted by Hong Kong Disneyland’s Alien Intelligence Agency. From September 18 to October 31, those who dare to visit Haunted Halloween and investigate the crash site will find out the reason of invasion.



Remain Calm… if you can at Alien Invasion

After investigation, the “Alien Intelligence Agency” has reported that the spaceship is fraught with danger and signs of alien life forms. In the chilling interior of the spaceship, the Agents have uncovered secrets from outer space in its various dark chambers apparently used by the aliens for all kinds of sinister experiments.

The Agents have also discovered spacesuits which appear to indicate that the aliens were preparing to launch an attack. As the Agents ventured deeper into the crash site, a terrifying chamber was found containing the eggs of an unknown alien species ready to hatch at any minute. The search of the spaceship ended abruptly when the Agents were attacked by the aliens. The Alien Intelligence Agency is now recruiting daring Guests to board the spaceship and continue the investigation. Guests are advised to remain calm and watch out for alien encounters.


The Dark Force is Invading Every Corner of Hong Kong Disneyland

As the dark force spreads beyond Tomorrowland to the rest of the Park, ghostly souls have returned to the Main Street Haunted Hotel, and explorers have gone missing in the Demon Jungle. Every night, Jack Skellington[1] from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is rocking the Park with the Glow in the Park Halloween Parade. Screams are also being heard from those surrounded by ghastly ghosts and ghouls in the darkness of Space Mountain – Ghost Galaxy.

“Haunted Halloween has been very popular since it was first introduced in 2007, and Hong Kong Disneyland is committed to making Halloween bigger and even scarier this year with five major attractions. We are offering 44 consecutive days of spooky fun, making it by far the longest Haunted Halloween event period.” Frederick Chan, Director of Marketing, Hong Kong Business, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.

“This year, we set ourselves the task of creating a very unique Halloween experience using the imaginative theme of Alien Invasion as the storyline,” he added, “The Guests’ experience has been planned meticulous care along with their probable psychological response to the scary factors. There is no doubt this all-new attraction will make Guests feel like they’ve stepped into a Hollywood movie.”

In addition to the three major walk-through attractions, ghost galaxy coaster and parade, Disney Villains as well as special Halloween characters such as the Pumpkin Men, Gatekeepers and Pirates are waiting to meet with Guests at the Scary Photo Fun locations. At Haunting Memories of Your Disney Friends, Guests will meet their favorite Disney Characters wearing spooky Halloween costumes including Jack and Sally from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Donald, Daisy, and Chip & Dale.
On weekends, Guests who can crack the clues on their Halloween collector cards will be able to find hidden loot and decorate their cards with all new stickers at special “Trick or Treat” locations. Guests who want to draw their own frightful pictures of Disney Characters may find inspiration at Animation Academy.
