Shanghai Disney News: Disneyland Releases Video of the Park Months Before Its Opening Day, Tickets Available on March 28

It's only a few months before the newest Disneyland theme park opens in Shanghai, China. Shanghai Disneyland is scheduled to open on June 16, but as early as now, Disney released a teaser video showing some of the amazing features and renders of the park, including the castle, rides and more.

The YouTube video opens with the render of the famous Disneyland castle, which, according to the voiceover, will be the biggest among the castles in the Disneyland parks around the world. The Shanghai Disneyland castle follows the design of those in other Disneyland resorts but combines blue and pink colors -- blue for the roofs and pink for the body. The castle is called Enchanted Storybook Castle, and Disney Parks Blog says that it will feature a staircase which guests can climb. The castle will also house stores, dining options and entertainment areas.

The video then transitions to another area in Shanghai Disney park, which is Tomorrowland. According to the video, guests will be able to take a peek at the future here and enjoy a thrilling ride with a futuristic and space theme.

Meanwhile, the Treasure Cove will be a treat to those who love anything pirate-related. The renders show various pirate ships and chests on stunning waters, and according to the description in the video, these ships "spin, go sideways or even move backwards."

To set Shanghai Disneyland apart from the other Disney theme parks, it will feature local traditions and icons. The Disney Parks blog says that atop of the castle will be a peony, the flower of China. Meanwhile, the Garden of Twelve Friends will feature the Chinese Zodiac represented by Disney characters. Some of these are Abu from "Aladdin" for the year of the monkey, Tigger from "Winnie the Pooh" for the year of the tiger and more.

Shanghai Disneyland is the latest addition to the various Disneyland parks around the world, which can be found in California and Florida in the US, Paris in France, Tokyo in Japan and Hong Kong. Shanghai Disney will officially open its gates to the public on June 16, but the tickets will be available soon, on March 28.
