Future Development of Ocean Park and Hong Kong Disneyland

Since Hong Kong Disneyland Opened at 2005, Hong Kong Ocean Park does not be the market leader anymore.


Both theme parks have a keen competition all the time. So both theme parks are launching a series future development planning.


Ocean Park will have two part of development-The Summit and The Waterfront, new infrastructure and Ocean Park at night.

Th Summit and The Waterfront will increase lots of animal features in order to enhance its theme, such as

Grand Aquarium in Aqua City, Polar Adventure in The summit.

Ocean Park plan to build more infrastructure to coorperate the development. The tourists can be more convenient to travel and stay longer in the Ocean Park.

Those development need to take few years to complete.

Ocean Park also evaluate the development's economic impact which affect Hong Kong's labour market and long-term impact.

For Hong Kong Disneyland, it will have two phases of extension. The first phase extension will be completed within 5 years which include three new themed area , Toy Story Land, Mystic Point and Grizzly Trall.

"Toy Story Land" is scheduled to open in September 2011.The land will be themed identically; using bamboo to act as giant blades of grass surrounding the area, the use of many themed props and characters from the Toy Story movies such as a giant Woody, a giant Rex, an oversized paper plane etc.

"Grizzly Gulch" that will open up not before 2012. The path along the themed land offers high-spirited frontier fun in an abandoned mining town called Grizzly Gulch, set amidst mountains and woods. The town was founded 8 August 1888 – the luckiest day of the luckiest month of the luckiest year – by prospectors looking to discover gold. Bears have now started causing havoc at the Big Grizzly Mountain Mining Company.

"Mystic Point" is the site of mysterious forces and supernatural events in the heart of a dense, uncharted rain forest. In Mystic Manor, home to an eccentric world traveler and adventurer and his collection of exotic international artifacts, strange things are afoot as an enchanted music box releases its magical powers, thanks to a mischievous monkey.

For long-term construction, with the reclaimed land reserved for the Phase 2 Extension and the Disneyland park being blocked by the Park Promenade (a pedestrian walkway which links the MTR Disneyland Resort Station, Disneyland park and Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel), it is expected that the resort's second Disney theme park will be built on that site. A Phase 3 Extension is also being considered by the Walt Disney Company and the Hong Kong Government.

Hong Kong Ocean Park and Hong Kong Disneyland 's development are attrractive, hope both can extend and improve the park's facilities and infrastructure successfully. Furthermore, hope that can bring a new sight of Hong Kong and make Hong Kong can become the best travel destination in the world!

Ocean Park- Home Fish Home

After introducing the facilities and specialties of the Ocean Park, I would introduce you all an event named "Home Fish Home". This event is held by the Ocean Park and Hong Kong Design Centre. It is a design competition and the theme is "Home Fish Home" which is to design a home for fish!


The objective of this event :

• To encourage students to develop innovative ideas
• To offer students an opportunity to engage in marine conservation activities
• To promote "Design Thinking" to the public
• Raise public awareness on marine conservation

I think this event is very meaningful. Although the event is closed for application this year, I'll consider to join it next year.
