    Work continues on Fire Falls spinning river rapids this first photo shows the ride's signature manta slide section on the left and load area on the right. The building being built in the back is I believe the warehouse for the parade floats.









    Choo-choo! All aboard the Snow Train!









    The sea lion and walrus show has still yet to open

    New aerial overview of the park and concept art for comparison






    New photos and details have come out about the park's dark ride, "Adventures in the Sea"

    The ride's track is 273 meters in length and features 8 scenes, 10 large screens, and 1 undersea tunnel





    A day after the park's grand opening both the Snow Train and Steel Dolphin coaster opened! It seems that both rides ended up closing later in the day and were closed for the entire day on November 18. It has been rainy in Shanghai so that might have caused the ride closures...

    After more than six years in the making and an investment of almost a quarter of a billion dollars, today, November 16, 2018, Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park officially held its grand opening! Unfortunately Steel Dolphin coaster and sea lion/walrus show did not open but the significant opening of the day was the premiere of the park's orca show and the stadium was at standing room only









    Huge lines for the first killer whale show





    Guests viewing the whales at the underwater viewing window



    During the grand opening ceremony, the park's executive director, along with the president of the National Aquatic Wildlife Protection Branch, the vice president of Shanghai Ocean University, and the director of the Aquarium Professional Committee of the China Association of Natural Science Museums, announced the launch of the "Shanghai Haichang Marine Biological Conservation Foundation" in which Haichang will put 5 million yuan towards the foundation plus 1 yuan from every park ticket purchased will go directly towards the fund.







    Crowds lining up at the entrance in the morning



    New sign displaying the daily showtimes



    New digital directories throughout the park



    Special grand opening park tickets

    The jumping tower ride is still undergoing testing



    Couple of nice photos of the kiddie coaster in action
