Hong Kong’s Ocean Park is set to undergo a mega expansion with the opening of its Adventure Zone in 2028. The 120,000 square metres zone will be built on the site of the old Raging River and Mine Train, and will have ziplines, bungee jumping, giant swings, a ropes park, outdoor playgrounds, and water adventure play areas, among other attractions spread out across three areas that visitors can access with separate admission tickets.
The biggest attraction will be the two 1,000-metre-long ziplines at the former Boardwalk Café — one above Water World, while the other will weave in and out of lush green bushland. Both will provide thrill-seekers panoramic views of Aberdeen Harbour and the surrounding waterways. There will also be three long dry slides with sharp curves and steep slopes.
The iconic dome-shaped rack of the Mine Train will be converted into a scenic walkway and Ropes Park, while the neighbouring Luge — Alpine Coaster will be ground zero for gravity-defying challenges. The old Raging River will be the site of a Twin Bungy and Twin Giant Swing, along with outdoor playgrounds, water adventure play areas, and climbing walls.
The news of the new zone comes after Ocean Park welcomed four new pandas earlier this year — twin cubs born in mid-August, and two five-year-old pandas that arrived from Mainland China in late September. Visitors will be able to see the older pair by the end of the year, and the cubs early 2025.
Ocean Park currently spans 915,000 square metres on the southern side of Hong Kong Island and is home to animal and aquatic life, as well as rides, games, and food-and-beverage venues. The last major expansion came in 2021 with the opening of Water World — Hong Kong’s first all-weather water park.
