Is the COVID quarantine facility still there? And does anyone know if it is here to stay or are there plans to remove it? Is it even needed anymore? Still hoping for a second gate…

As far as I know the physical buildings are still there but it’s more a placeholder than anything
In 2021 the contract Disney had with LegCo for exclusive rights to the second gate land expired however there is older documents concerning the wider master planing of penny’s bay (so including the road system in the area, the Disneyland resort MTR line and inspiration lake) that strongly limits what can be built on that land and anything that does qualify is never going to agree anyway because they’d be at a massive disadvantage being next to Disney (things that could go there include basically government buildings which won’t happen because penny’s bay is too far out and the Disneyland MTR isn’t through running or limited recreation facilities such as a zoo or an aquarium or some form of botanical gardens, all who would massively suffer trying to compete with Disney)
So the land is still basically Disney’s even though they don’t have exclusive rights to it, it just means LegCo can sell it for more money later
The structures are although looking rather abandoned
They might just not have updated the calendar yet for the shows. I know that the Festival of the Lion King will stop on 1st of September to prepare for Let's Get Wicked, but don't know how long that will be for. The AP Halloween night events are on 13th and 14th of September, but I don't know if Let's Get Wicked will start earlier than that. I wouldn't think all three shows would be closed at the same time.
Also, for the person who asked about the Mystic Manor scaffold, the manor was still covered as of last Wednesday.

The Halloween event at the park this year will run from 13th September to 31st October.
The line-up is pretty much the same as last year:
Let's Get Wicked
House of De-Vil
Halloween Parade with Mickey & Friends and Duffy & Friends in Halloween costumes
Nightmare Before Christmas theme show in the River View Cafe
*For the first time heroes and villains will appear together: Snow White & Evil Queen, Queen of Hearts & Alice, Thor & Loki and Aurora and Maleficent, and maybe more for meet and greets.

I don’t believe they are allowed go build one because ocean park has one and LegCo controls what each park can build so that they have diverse offerings
It’s why the Scandinavian port idea for the original expansion that becomes mystic point/GG/TSL got knocked back, because ocean park already has an arctic themed zone

Has anyone been to the park recently
Have they made a start on the TOT yet or any sort of groundwork
Considering even before D23 HK said they were moving with the shovels

I'd love to hear about attendance levels. I visited twice in the past and pretty much anything was a walk on, every time. I will be going again in about three weeks and was wondering if Frozen and the other new stuff (since my last visit, I mean) have had any impact in terms of how busy the parks get? Also, is the dining package for Momentous worth the price at the Explorers Club Restaurant?
Keep checking wait times on the app periodically (we do!)
We found the Momentous dining package well worth it. Good view, great food and great value for money.
