A new attraction at Ocean Park promises to be a hair-raising experience as visitors twist, turn and plunge at mind-blowing speeds.
It's the Hair Raiser, the city's first floorless roller coaster that is touted to be the scariest of five new rides opening to the public today.
Tourism sector lawmaker Paul Tse Wai-chun, invited by the park to try out the new rides yesterday, was stunned by the Hair Raiser, which travels at 88kmh.
'It's like going through heaven and hell ... Luckily I'm back to earth after 45 seconds,' said Tse.
The rides are all at Ocean Park's new Thrill Mountain themed zone, which sits on a hilltop and is dedicated to mechanical rides.
The area is the third expansion zone launched by the park this year, following Aqua City in January and The Rainforest in June.
The two attractions helped attract 6.6 million visitors in the first nine months of this year, 12 per cent above the same period last year.
