Hong Kong Disneyland gave journalists a sneak peek Wednesday, two months before the newest park opens to the public, showing off an East-meets-West mix of classic thrill rides like Space Mountain and restaurants serving Asian cuisines.

The park features a trademark Sleeping Beauty Castle and a Main Street that recreates small-town America. The food is distinctly Asian, catering to the masses of tourists Disney hopes to attract from across the border in mainland China.

When the park opens Sept. 12, its eight restaurants - with 29,000 seats - will cook up all the major Chinese cuisines, like Cantonese, Shanghainese and northern noodle dishes. Visitors will also be able to dig into Japanese sushi and tempura.

A pastry shop serves Hong Kong-style barbecue puffs and pineapple buns alongside chocolate croissants and cinnamon rolls.

The food is served in Western settings, such as at Royal Banquet Hall, inspired by the Sleeping Beauty movie. Throughout the park, signs are in Chinese and English.

Along with popular rides like the Space Mountain, the park will have a Mickey’’s PhilharMagic movie theater with a massive 3D screen. The cinema will show Disney staples such as the “Little Mermaid,” “Lion King” and “Beauty and the Beast.”

A long palm tree-lined driveway leads to the park. At the front gate, there’’s a huge water fountain with a bronze statue of a whale spouting a stream of water on which Mickey Mouse is surfing.

The park is a joint venture between the Hong Kong government and The Walt Disney Co. It’’s is built on reclaimed land on an outlying island.
