The Ocean Park Roller Coasters and numerous thrill rides are the perfect match for the array of natural and educational exhibits and the marine life shows in the park to round up the family fun.
And if you have teenagers, they certainly will not let you leave without giving the rides a go, this is one of the "must do" for this age group while in Hong Kong.
The rides are mostly concentrated in the Summit area of the park. The Summit is in fact considered the "Amusement Park" of Ocean Park, this is where the larger rides and Roller Coasters are.
A lot of the small children rides and playgrounds you will find in the Waterfront.
The park keeps on growing and adding and revamping the old sections.
Classics like "The Dragon" and "The Abyss" are being joined by several newcomers. The Rainforest, has quickly become one of the park's favorite sections which contains the popular water ride "the Rapids". And the park's newest section Thrill Mountain features Hong Kong's fastest and bottomless! roller coaster. The latest thrill we find in Arctic Blast at Polar Adventure.
Old Timers: The Ferris Wheel, The Abyss and The Dragon
As with all popular rides, waiting time in line can be long at most of these, from 40 minutes to one hour, specially during the busiest times in the summer and the holiday periods.
For all of the high-octane rides, lockers are found near the entrances so you can secure all your valuables.
Here is a table summarizing all the Ocean Park Roller Coasters and Thrill Rides, their locations and height, age, and weight requirements if any.
Ocean Park Roller Coasters
There are four Roller Coasters in Ocean Park: The Dragon and the Wild West Mine Train have been joined by Hair Raiser in one of Ocean Park's newer areas, Thrill Mountain and Arctic Blast at the Polar Adventure.

These newer areas are better equipped with lifts which make these roller coasters accesible to wheelchair-bound fans, but you must be able to stand and slide into the ride as it is not possible to remain in the wheelchair as in other rides.
The Dragon and the Wild West Mine Train are the original roller coasters at the park, they are basically the same type of roller coaster you find at any other amusement park, but what really sets them apart is their very unique setting, high up in the Summit, overlooking some of the most amazing vistas in Hong Kong Island.
