Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park

Half of the park is themed to a tundra environment, which includes a conspicuous snow-covered mountain, while the other half of the park is themed to a tropical environment, which includes an equally conspicuous volcano.

The two halves are connected by a gondola lift and two large pedestrian bridges that cross a canal.

The theme park's flagship attractions include a launch roller coaster, a river rapids ride, and a killer whale show and exhibit.

[6] When plans for the theme park were initially revealed, the park was originally going to be located on a long, narrow area of land on the east side of Dishui Lake.

[7] In the early planning stages, securing the land and government permissions was so critical to Haichang that they hired three different entertainment design firms, including Romero VanRell Jeng and Associates and Legacy Entertainment, at full-fare to design completely different parks, and then let the local officials decide which design they preferred.
