Park News - (12/16/11) According to BlooLoop, Ocean Park has posted their annual results and reports serving an all time high of 5.9 million guests this past year, a 16% increase over the previous year.
    (10/3/11) Ocean Park has been given permission to reopen their Mine Train coaster after it was determined that a damaged break lining was at fault for the in station collision between two trains. The problem has been fixed and measures are being taken to prevent from happening again.
    (9/13/11) The local news reports that two trains collided in the station on Ocean Park’s Wild West Mine Train coaster yesterday. The ride is now closed until further notice while an investigation into the cause is taking place.
    (6/17/11) According to this article, Ocean Park just opened their new jungle themed area called The Rainforest, which features a themed river rapids ride through the jungle, an aviary and live animal exhibits.
    (5/19/11) Good news for Ocean Park, according to this report at the Sentosa Theme Park Blog, Ocean Park has broke their attendance record once again as the park surpassed the 5.1 million guest mark. The winning family that put the park over received lifetime VIP passes to the park.
    With a steady surge of attendance growth following the park’s rapid-fire expansion projects compelted, with more on the way, I think it’s safe to say that they will break this new record next year as well. The park has just opened Aqua City earlier this year and will open The Rainforest in June and Polar Adventure in 2012.

Late 2011/2012 - Hair Raiser / Thrill Mountain - (12/15/11) Hair Raiser, the B&M Floorless coaster at Ocean Park is now open, and you can catch a great POV video embedded below showing off the incredible view of this custom ride built on the side of a cliff overlooking Hong Kong bayside.
    Along with Hair Raiser, the opening of the entire Thrill Mountain section of the park adds five more new rides to Ocean Park’s lineup. The list of new attractions include Whirly Bird, Rev Booster, Bumper Blasters and The Flash.

    (3/22/11) A reader sent in some great new construction pictures from Ocean Park this week. As you can see the progress on the new coaster has been moving right along. I’m told that it features a unique looking small bunny hop between the dive loop and zero-G Roll that should produce some surprise airtime. According to postings in the park Rainforest (the n ew rapids) is expected to open in Mid-2011, but Thrill Mountain will not open until “End 2011”.
    (2/2/11) Thanks to a reader for sending in two new pictures of the constructin around Hair Raiser.
    (1/17/11) After seeing the track photos, I had a feeling the new B&M coaster going into Ocean Park wasn’t going to be a Stand-Up, and this has now been confirmed. Concept artwork showing off the look of the trains and entrance theme have been posted to CoasterFusion, confirming it as a B&M Floorless coaster instead. With the same bright yellow color, these seem to be the same yellow B&M tracks discovered at the fabrication plant in Ohio back in January 2009 that have been in limbo that just mysteriously vanished into thin air for the past two years.
    (1/10/11) Hong Kong is getting it’s first taste of B&M coaster goodness it seems, as construction on a new coaster at Ocean Park has revealed mustard yellow B&M track and red supports going up on site near the blue Arctic Blast coaster. I can’t tell just what kind it is, but I don’t think this is a Stand-Up coaster as was one rumored, but I’m guessing regular Sit-Down or Floorless are most likely. Other attractions going up in the new land include “The Flash”, which seems to be a Discovery style ride, Rainforest (rapids ride) and more. This new section of the park will look incredible I think.
    (2/1/10) I don’t know much about this rumor, but we’ve heard that B&M maybe actually be building a brand new Stand-Up coaster for Ocean Park as early as 2011. Anyone know more?

Now Through 2013 - Park Expansion Project - (10/27/10) According to this article, the new Arctic Blast coaster going into Ocean Park will be a E-Powered Coaster ride from Mack Rides, a powered coaster experience and not a true gravity powered coaster ride.
    (10/22/09) The Ocean Park website now gives off quite a few details about all of their future expansion plans. Four areas were listed for The Summit. The Polar Adventure themed expansion will include the North Pole Encounter (animal attraction), South Pole Spectacular (penguins), Tuxedo’s Restaurant (w/ Pengiun theme) and the Arctic Blast coaster ride. (Thanks to Westcoaster for the artwork!) The Rainforest area will feature a Rapids Ride Journey through a tropical rain forest as well as more animal attraction. The list also includes a new marine life area called Marine World. Thrill Mountain will also feature new thrill rides, though no true details were posted. A kiddieland called Whisker’s Harbor is also on the way.
    The rough timeline for all of these has also been posted, where it looks like all of them will be built and opening between now and 2013.
2010 – 2011 – Ocean Square, Aqua City, Rainforest, Symbio
2011 – 2012 – Polar Adventure, Thrill Mountain
2012 – 2013 – Marine World and Whisker’s Harbour
    (5/29/07) Today I’ve got a couple of close up shots showing off a large bit of concept artwork on display at Ocean Park showing off what looks like an entire new land they have planned for the park. The photos come courtesy of CoasterFriends.de. In addition to the new mountainside steel roller coaster mentioned before, you can also make a Zamperla Disk’O, a large Giant Wheel, a Chance Aviator and what looks like a Zamperla Giant Discovery.
    (4/30/07) Looks like a massive new steel roller coaster that will around one of the mountainsides as well as featuring at least one inversion is in the works for the park right now. You can see the concept artwork posted to the Theme Park Review forums, just scroll down towards the end.
    (12/20/06) Ocean Park has broken ground on the start of it’s huge HK$5.55 billion expansion plan ($707 million) that will double the number of attractions in the park from 35 to 70 by 2012. The plan is to split the park into two halfs, The Waterfront and The Summit.
    The Waterfront will consist of three themed zones: Aqua City (the Ocean Park Grand Aquarium), Birds of Paradise (a tropical area), and Whisker’s Harbour (Character meet and greet area).
    The Summit will showcase animals and entertainment from four different global climate zones: Marine World, Rainforest, Thrill Mountain and Polar Adventure.

    (4/1/05) You can read a bit more about the future plans of Ocean Park here, but new attractions in development mentioned include building a 1.4 km funicular tunnel through the mountain that divides the park in half as well as a “soaker coaster” where the cars will be equipped with water cannons with more cannons on the ground around the ride to shoot back.
    (3/21/05) Ocean Park has announced a massive HK$5.55 billion plan to make the park a “world class” attraction to be rebuilt by 2010. The park will have a stronger maritime theme and to double the number of attractions.
