"What's NEW in Hong Kong Ocean Park?"

Ocean Park will soon have only one entrance when it closes the Tai Shue Wan entrance, and that will only be used for special events, such as the annual Halloween festivities.

About 4.8 million people visited Ocean Park in the year to June 30, 2009. The park expects 5.8 million visitors by 2012-13.

It is vastly expanding its main entrance as part of an ambitious HK$5.5 billion redevelopment plan that will more than double the number of attractions to about 70 by 2012.

So far, a new Amazing Asian Animals exhibit has opened, and a tunnel train system, Ocean Express, has started shuttling visitors between the park's lowland and headland areas. April 20, 2010 updates

Koala pair coming to roost at Ocean Park soon...

Ocean Park will receive two new additions to its animal kingdom - a pair of young koalas from South Australia.

The Australian icons will be flown to Hong Kong within the next two years, as a gift by the South Australian state government. But the arrival dates have not been fixed yet.

The male and female koalas will be housed and taken care of in a new habitat at Ocean Park. The theme park has never kept a koala.

With the park's extensive experience and expertise in handling marine and land animals, Ocean Park would be able to provide the koalas a healthy habitat and care. February 13, 2010 updates

Five "living fossils" - Chinese Sturgeon whose species dates to the era of the dinosaur 140 million years ago has been moved into their new home in the Atoll Reef at Hong Kong Ocean Park.

These fish are highly endangered, with less than 1,000 alive, making them rarer than pandas. The transfer to Ocean Park marks the first time the fish have been sent outside China mainland, their sole habitat.

This is a new attraction being added to the park and it's expected to draw up to 15 per cent more visitors who will be interested in seeing the sturgeons.

Sturgeons can be as long as 4 meters and weigh as much as 550kg and they have a lifespan of 50 to 60 years. June 22, 2008 updates

New Rail ride at Hong Kong Ocean Park. A new rail system at Ocean Park is expected to start transporting up to 10,000 people an hour between different areas of the theme park by the middle of the year 2009.

It will run parallel to the cable car that stretches between the lowland and headland sections of the park. It will take about three minutes for this 1.2km tunnel ride. It won't just be a tunnel, it's going to be a ride.

You're going to feel like you're starting underwater and winding up at the top of the ocean.June 12, 2008 updates
