Day 4: Wonderful Water World

Next morning, we were at the gates of Ocean Park Hong Kong, eating our cupcakes, wrapped some of it with tissue papers and put them in our pockets. The biscuits separately concealed in the unknown pockets of our bags. We were just doing what everybody was doing, eating our baon or they'll be confiscated at the gates. :) Our food safe, we hurriedly entered the gates, thank God they didn't see those tissue-wrapped cupcakes. :)) That's what I hate about theme parks, you cannot bring food inside.

Ocean Park is a lot bigger than Disneyland. You get to enjoy wilder rides. You get to see different kinds of animals (almost like a zoo) and not just fish or sea creatures.

We started off by riding the cable car. It was my first time and i was so thrilled and excited (as always).. Ocean park attractions are located in two different sides of a mountain with wide stretch of sea in between. Riding the Cable Car provides the best and extraordinary views of the surrounding area, the sea, and the entire park. It was breathtaking.

The cable car ended up on top of a mountain (summit). You can see different attractions including Polar Adventure, Rainforest, Thrill Mountain, and if you go down the other lower side of the mountain there's Marine World and on the other lower side is Adventureland.

At the Thrill Mountain, we were able to ride the Whirly Bird and Rev Booster and Klainey and Meia decided to ride the The Flash and get the whirl of their lives! The Flash whiz around so fast and turn at 360 degree angle. I can't imagine myself riding that one, no, definitely not! I'm such a killjoy! :) And as if The flash was not scary and thrilling enough, they went on and ride the Hair Raiser, Ocean Park's version of a wild roller coaster ride, and again, I was not convinced to ride that one, too. yay! I'm such a scaredy-cat!

Then we went through the Expedition Trail at the Rainforest. Too bad The Rapids was closed that day. At the expedition trail, you can see different kinds of monkeys, birds, insects, etc..

Hungry atlast, we headed to Bayview restaurant for some lunch.We were able to take pictures with a large chocolate and with the OP Mascot on our way. And for the third time that week, I had roasted duck (duck, duck, duck)..

Wish I could bring this home!

OP Mascot!

Energized again, we went down through an escalator (in the mountain) to Adventureland. We only took one ride, the Mine Trail. I thought it was just an easy ride but I was wrong! I had the wildest ride of my life. I screamed all the way to the finish line while clinging for dear life. I even heard myself screaming "mommy!!!" and I thought I was going to die. It was wild and scary, but I enjoyed the ride.

After that one wild ride, we proceeded to Marine World. There you can find some sea lion and dolphins. There are many rides but it was already 5:00 PM and we have to leave the Park at 7:00 PM and go to Victoria Peak. We decided to ride the Ocean Park Tower. The Ocean park tower is a gently rotating viewing room which provides 360 degrees view of the area. It was so foggy and it was drizzling so we didn't see much.

We then went back to Thrill Mountain to ride the Ocean Express (Train) which took us from the summit to the Water Front. Then went to the Grand Aquarium, Goldfish Treasures and Panda Village.

Right after Goldfish Treasures, we decided to go to Victoria Peak. But before finally leaving the park, we hurriedly went around the Aqua City Lagoon to take some photos.
