Photos taken a few days ago. Expansion area incl. Polar Adventure clearly visible
Is the expansion completed now with the opening of Polar Adventure?

I have posted a big Ocean Park update. It shows all the changes that happened since The Theme Park Guy posted his update in 2009:

There are actually a lot of changes, see below!
Ocean Park has a new entrance and a huge aquarium now. The coolest thing is the retro-style funicular that brings you up to the mountain top with all the new rides. It's amazing!!
This is the new area at the top of the mountain that you will reach with the funicular and the cable car. It's kinda fun fair like, the coaster is very good, but I have to say that I like the old Ocean Park areas much much more. For some reason the new section has no charm. It's too many colors, too many noises, no real theming. Weren't it on top of a mountain in Hong Kong I think it wouldn't attract any attention!
Polar Adventure Land at the top of the mountain is still under construction. Cool idea, but in my opinion it looks a bit cheap!
