Ocean Park

One of the main attractions in Hong Kong is Ocean Park Theme Park. It reminded me a lot about Sea World in San Diego. The rides here weren't that fun; they actually hurt. My head would bang side to side on the seat during Dragon, the ride.

The park revolved around its shows with sea lions and dolphins. However, the main attraction at Ocean Park is the live Panda exhibit. We visited the Pandas during the feeding hours and they were extremely active. It was very surreal for me to see Pandas roaming around the terrain and play fighting with each other.

The cable cars connected an upper and lower part of Ocean Park, which is very unique to a theme park. All I have to say: great views! Overall, I didn't think much about the park, but it's a part of HK so I went. It is, after all, one of Disneyland HK's competitor. We'll see how Disney HK fends against Ocean Park...

I thought this was pretty funny, but wrong! It's a trashcan...



That is all for Ocean Park...they do have this Halloween Bash. I wish I went to that.
