Meet the curious Turtle Crush from Finding Nemo at Hong Kong Disneyland
A new, totally unique and personalized interactive experience that entertains all ages
Hong Kong (May 23, 2008) Scheduled to open on May 24, this Saturday, is “Turtle Talk with Crush”, a new addition to the attractions launched in 2008 at Hong Kong Disneyland. Starring Crush, a “totally tubular” 150-year-old sea turtle from the Academy Award winning Disney‧Pixar blockbuster Finding Nemo, this fun experience will give guests the chance to engage in live, spontaneous conversation with the animated sea turtle.
Set in a cool and indoor ‘digital underwater’ environment, Crush will talk “turtle” with guests in English, Cantonese and Putonghua (available in mid-June) to find out more about the human world for his son, Squirt.
Available only during the summer until mid-August, Hong Kong Disneyland will bring guests an immersive story-telling experience through Disney’s imagination and innovation. Crush will playfully chat, play and joke with guests as he encourages adults and children alike to interact together.
“Crush talks about how his son never stops asking questions and he himself also gets inspired to become more curious, even though he has been living for so long,” said Dave Vermeulen, Managing Director, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.
“In this new attraction, we hope our guests will walk away with the fun of always asking questions - the magic key that opens the door to a world of creativity and imagination.”
Using digital projection and voice-activated real-time animation, Crush engages everyone in the audience in delightful one-on-one improvised conversations and helps them to discover the wonders of his underwater world. He is eager to share the details of his sea turtle life, little known facts about marine life and of course the joys of being a parent.
This is just a glimpse of the summer fun to come! Back by popular demand, Mickey’s WaterWorks will once again be providing ‘splashtastic’ fun to keep guests wet and cool. With the searing summer heat, Mickey and his pals have taken on the task of keeping the landscape at Hong Kong Disneyland lush and beautiful. Using a variety of sprinklers, hoses and spouts, the gang is ready to water the plants – and the guests! Mickey’s WaterWorks will only appear during the summer, so don’t miss out.
