Ocean Park


Once place that Jim and i had never set eyes on was Ocean Park. The Hong Kong equivelent to Disney, before Disney actaully came. It was a nice park. Reasonably priced and not crowded at all by any standards. They had 4 pandas, two really old ones that were sleeping and one 3 year old couple. They were frisky and rolling around and playing with each other. Very Cute.
Now i don't know anything about the evolution of OP but it is an interesting set up a tiny bit of the park is pretty close to the main part of HK, with the pandas and some small rides etc, then you get on the longest cable car that i have ever been on and go over a mountain to the other side for the rest of the park. I am getting to be an expert on cable cars and this was a fantastic one, four seperate lines that went for a mile or so up an incredible cliff face and over solid jungle. It was worth the entrance fee to the park.
The rest was the standard roller coasters and the like, but of course build in HK style on the mountain face with incredible views. The kids loved it and we got lucky when a cloud showed up and cooled us off at the highest point on the ferris wheel.
