Shanghai Disney Resort station on Metro Line 11 opens for business at 10am today, the subway operator said yesterday.
Set to become one of the busiest stops on the network, the station is just a 10-minute walk from the theme park, which is scheduled to open on June 16.
The station has four exits — No. 1 provides the quickest access to the rides — and a creche, the operator said.
One of the main differences between the new station and others on the network is that security will be much tighter, with all passengers and all luggage being scanned before being allowed entry, it said.
Pressure tests will be carried out in the coming weeks to see how the new station copes with the huge numbers of passengers that are expected to use it once the Disney resort opens, the company said.
