Ocean Park to Launch A New Adventure Zone with Thrilling Attractions by 2028

Hong Kong’s top amusement and animal park is getting an upgrade. Ocean Park Hong Kong will launch an Adventure Zone featuring new attractions. It will be situated on the hillside and is set for a mid-2028 opening.

The new zone will take over the home of the retired Raging River and Mine Train. As it is on a natural downhill slope, visitors can expect stunning views of the South China Sea. Ocean Park hopes that the upcoming upgrade will enhance its appeal as an iconic leisure and Entertainment destination in Hong Kong’s southside.

Ocean Park in Hong Kong announces the opening of a new Adventure Zone

The Adventure Zone has three proposed areas, all thoughtfully designed to integrate seamlessly with the park’s natural topography. Visitors can still get unparalleled mountain views and sea vistas. Furthermore, the park will approach the project by optimising land use to minimise environmental impact. So, instead, they will revitalise existing infrastructure and infuse it with new purposes such as the now-defunct Raging River and Mine Train.

Expect thrilling attractions including an aerial experience at the former Boardwalk Cafe. It will feature two spine-tingling ziplines, one soaring above Water World Ocean Park and the other, weaving in and out of the green bushland. These ziplines, which will span about 1,000 metres each, will also offer incredible views of Aberdeen and surrounding waterways.

Meanwhile, the site of the former Mine Train will be turned into a bustling hub offering different activities. Adjacent to this will be the Luge Alpine Coasters, where adrenaline seekers can take on gravity-defying challenges. Other exciting attractions include a purpose-built Twin Bungy and Twin Giant Swing, outdoor playgrounds, water play areas and climbing wall access around the former site of Raging River.

Focus on fun, games, and learning

Adventure Zone will not only attract thrill seekers but also those with a thirst for learning. The zone will provide various opportunities for children and families to engage with their surroundings meaningfully. Therefore, the park will integrate edutainment elements such as information boards, puzzles, and tactile objects across different attractions. A significant focus of the zone design will also be on sustainability through the use of eco-friendly materials.

The new zone is expected to open to the public in 2028 and will be accessible to visitors via separate admission tickets.
