Several years in the making, Shanghai Disneyland will open to the public on June 16 of this year.
In preparation for this grand opening, Shanghai Disneyland began soft openings for invited guests over the weekend. Photos and videos of several of the new park’s attractions began to pop up on Social Media.
In Short, Shanghai Disneyland looks incredible

Pirates of the Caribbean – Battle for the Sunken Treasure
Shanghai Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean is the first Pirates Attraction built after the release of the films, and can base its story around the films rather than having to retro-fit movie properties into existing rides.
