THE landslide which cut off the Ocean Park headland on Sunday could cost the park up to $22 million.
For it could take a month to fix the road, hindering the restoration of water supplies and access for emergency vehicles.
And Ronald Arculli, a member of the park's board, said: 'We have to guarantee the safety of guests or else it would be irresponsible for us to reopen.' The slip in Nam Long Shan Road forced the part of the park on the headland to be closed after rocks and mud cut water and power links.
'It is unlikely the access road can be fixed for two weeks to a month so we have to discuss with the Fire Services Department and other departments how we can safely re-open the headland before then,' said Mr Arculli.
A repetition of the incident in which six children were trapped 26 metres up in the Eagle ride two weeks ago would be disastrous if the road was still blocked, he added.
Workmen restored power to the headland at about 6 am yesterday and fresh water, to control salt levels in the giant aquarium, was being transported on the park's cable car.
Mr Arculli said the park usually attracted about 15,000 people on Saturdays and Sundays at this time of the year, and about 4,000 to 5,000 on weekdays.
