In less than 2 hours, Ngong Ping 360 will reopen officially since its plunge a few months ago in June. For the last few days, MTR Corporation (new operator of 360) has been giving out free tickets for staff and their family members to try the NP360 in a trial scheme to get stronger public confidence. During the trials, news reporters interviewed several children which said they bought Life Insurance just in case.
The original operator, Skyrail-ITM (Australia) has been charged by the HK Government for not properly maintaining it, therefore causing the crash. Since then, The cable car has been in debt as local shops are abandoned and expensive safety checks have been performed in addition to the free trials. Though public confidence has gone up, the number of tickets sold for today's grand opening has only amounted to 450 [advance tickets]. We [My Family] was hoping to buy tickets, but, eventually didn't due to the long lines we may face.
