BREAKING: Hong Kong Disneyland Affected by Typhoon, Issues Operational Warning

Hong Kong Disneyland has added a new warning to its website informing guests that park operations will be altered by the upcoming “Super” Typhoon Ragasa.

Areas of Hong Kong are currently preparing for potentially dangerous weather caused by Typhoon Ragasa. Dupped a “Super Typhoon” by The New York Times, Ragasa first hit the northern Philippines earlier today, September 22. It is currently expected to move west, “passing south of Taiwan toward Hong Kong, which it was expected to reach on Wednesday.”

At one point, Ragasa reached sustained wind speeds of 165 miles per hour, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in Hawaii, “making it the most powerful storm in the world so far this year, stronger than Hurricane Erin in the Atlantic, which reached 160 miles per hour.” It was weakened after hitting the Philippines, but the BBC notes Ragasa is still expected to potentially cause flooding, landslides, and damage to homes or infrastructure.

Hong Kong Disneyland has now added a new warning to its official website in regard to the inclement weather. The warning reads:

Under Strong Wind Signal No. 3, the park will open with limited operations, while all outdoor attractions will be suspended. For the latest show times and attraction availability, please check our official website regularly.

As per this announcement, the park is currently still expected to open on Tuesday, September 23 (which is already the date in Hong Kong at the time of writing). However, operations will be limited, and all outdoor attractions will be non-operational.

A second section of the notice also reads:

If Typhoon Signal No. 8, 9, 10, or “Extreme Conditions” is issued or announced during the park’s normal operating hours, the park will close early. Guests who entered the park using a valid park ticket may retain their original ticket and use it for revisit on any day within six months from the date of early closure.

In other words, the status of Hong Kong Disneyland operations may continue to change if the weather begins to get worse than the current estimations. If the park does close early, guests will be able to retain their original ticket and use it for any day within the next six months.

This is the second time Hong Kong Disneyland has been impacted by weather this year. In July, tropical storm Wipha also caused the park to issue an operations warning.
