Hong Kong Disneyland and the MTR Corporation Monday unveiled the Disneyland Resort Line Train, which will bring guests to the heart of the magic at China's first Disney theme park, set to open on Sept. 12, this year.
The MTR Disneyland Resort Line, which comprises two new stations - Sunny Bay Station and Disneyland Resort Station - and whimsical Disney-themed trains, were exclusively designed by the MTR Corporation in conjunction with Disney's imagineers.
Today's Disneyland Resort Line train unveiling at Sunny Bay Station marks the very first dedicated train line for a Disney theme park anywhere in the world and will offer Hong Kong Disneyland guests an exciting and convenient journey.
The trains themselves are sleek and modern, but their colors and fanciful details, including Mickey Mouse-shaped windows trimmed in red that look out over gold ribbons and sparkling pixie dust, provide a classic look that enables them to appear equally at home in either of their destinations: the futuristic Sunny Station and the Victorian-themed Disneyland Resort Station.
This feeling of enchantment continues inside the trains, which are painted in vibrant hues of blue, red, yellow and violet, and boast ceilings that look like star-filled skies.
Chief Executive Officer of MTR Corporation C.K. Chow said, "The3.5-minute train journey from Sunny Bay to Disneyland Resort is not to be missed for Hong Kong Disneyland guests wishing to enjoy the full theme park experience.
"The Disneyland Resort Line takes visitors on a journey through time from Hong Kong's modern MTR network to the Victorian-themed Disneyland Resort Station. It will be a ride to enjoy and remember."
Passengers riding the MTR can reach Sunny Bay Station from anywhere in Hong Kong. After arriving at the Station, passengers take only a short walk across the platform to begin their magical journey to Disneyland Resort Station which is just in front of Hong Kong Disneyland.
