Remember, DisneySea, a beautiful park, didn't open with a lot of attractions, and Disney parks worldwide built since Epcot (DLP aside) haven't been packed to the brim with rides at the outset. Every land sounds like it has a coaster, dark rides, ect. What more could you want? This is more exciting than HKDL, even today, since it's filled with clones.
