- First-ever Virtual Reality Free Fall Ride for guests to set off space travel exploration

MUMBAI, July 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ocean Park Hong Kong announces two big launches for the year. From now until 1 September 2019, Ocean Park Summer Water Battle presented by SKECHERS will transform the Waterfront Plaza of the Park into an exhilarating water battle zone. Meanwhile, Hong Kong's first-ever virtual reality (VR) free fall ride, The Abyss - VR Space Voyage, is set to take guests on a mission to Saturn's largest moon - Titan.

Visit Ocean Park Hong Kong for the city's largest-ever Summer Water Battle featuring One Piece

The water battle party features seven 'One Piece-themed' water attractions. In the epic Battle of Marineford at 'Ultimate One Piece Water War', guests will pass through a mysterious waterfall, a water jet tunnel, a water cave, a jet maze and other challenges with water guns in their hands, all the while getting soaked from head to toe thanks to the Marines' water cannons and sudden attacks.

More interactive water elements are featured at the 'Bounty Posters' that give fans a taste of life as a pirate with a bounty on their head, and the gigantic 'Luffy's Straw Hat' that leaves guests screaming with excitement from cool water splashes.

What's more, guests can visit 'Thousand Sunny's Figurehead' for classic One Piece scenes about setting sail for the Grand Line. Those who want to meet One Piece characters can take advantage of photo opportunities with Luffy, Chopper and more at the 'Straw Hat Crew Meet-Up'. Last but not least, the energised dance moves and water surprises from the 'Splashtastic Summer Dance Party' will immerse everyone in a dynamic celebration.

Kids can also become junior pirates at the Ocean Park Summer Water Battle, and join Luffy and his crew at the 'Little Pirates' Splash Zone' and 'Little Pirates' Foamy Fun Party' to deepen their friendship with fellow pirates while surrounded by water and foamy bubbles.

Matthias Li, Chief Executive, Ocean Park Hong Kong, said, "This year's Ocean Park Summer Water Battle presented by SKECHERS invites guests to join the largest ever One Piece-themed event in Hong Kong. With several creatively designed water attractions and classic scenes from One Piece to welcome the 'Great Pirate Era', we'd like to celebrate the power of friendship and our guests' dreams. The Park has spared no effort in recreating the water battle scenes. Along with the One Piece-themed food and beverages at Park restaurants and kiosks, exclusive collectables at our souvenir shops and game booths, we hope to create amazing, fun-filled surprises for guests and One Piece fans."

Embark on a trip to outer space at Hong Kong's first-ever VR free fall ride

As guests put on VR headsets for the upgraded ride, they will see breathtaking views of outer space and experience the adrenaline rush from free fall during their mission to Saturn's largest moon -Titan.

The story is set in the reality of Earth facing irreversible environmental issues, such as climate change, that lead to the exploration of a new habitable place in the universe.
