WOW!!! The park with the water slide covered in vines is awesome! Great pictures for every update! BRAVO!

[AxmanWhen I grow up, I want to breed donkeys!]

I didn't think that those "inverted wild mouse" coasters from RCT3 actually existed. Too bad the real ones look cheap and feel rough.

[captainI think Intamin should make a donkey!]

Hello again and sorry for the daily updates, but it takes so much time for every update - but this is the second last.

Part 3: Parks of Hongkong

Part 3.2 Disneyland Hongkong

Okay, I`m a huge fan of any Disney park worldwide, but I didn`t fell in love with the Hongkong Resort.

First, it has a strange scenery with all the mountains in the back, but you can get used to it.
Second I hate to say it, but this Disneyland is way to small. A lot of our beloved attractions are missing, like the Pirates, it`s a small world, Peter Pan, big thunder mountain, splash mountain, haunted mansion.
It only has three lands (tomorrowland, fantasyland, adventureland) and not much to do in every land.
But even worser is that I always had the impression that every land has not enough theming and it looked a little bit cheap. It looked like one of those cheap fake shirts or watches - at the first view they look real, but if you look longer you can see the cheaper details.

Don´t get me wrong - every Disneypark can be better than a cheap no name theme park, but I think Disney saved to much money (I think they were to frightened after DCA or the big minus in Paris).

The only real good things are the great Jungle Cruise and the nice musical show. Also the Stitch Encounter was quiet nice to experience.

I hope they fasten up with their future expansion plans (small world 2008, pirates 2009?) and I hope they will add something more unique.

Now it`s time for the last chinese park, before we`re heading to Thailand.

Part 3: Parks of Hongkong

Part 3.3: Ocean Park Hongkong

This park was our biggest surprise of the whole trip.

Ocean Park celebrates his 30th birthday and is now in the middle of a big, big rebuilding plan which will cost 700 million US $, so this is more expensive than most of the themeparks in the world had cost.

But I`ll begin with the themepark in the year 2007, which is already so beautiful.
There`s a lowland part with the main entrance gate, a kiddie area and a sea lion show. Then you can take the amazing cable car to get to the highland section of the park, where all the main rides are located and most of the shows and aquariums.
A third section of the park is located some way down again from the mountain peak, so it`s kind of a second lowland part. But you don´t have to remember all the details because the park is changing everything and will be finished sometimes between 2010 and 2012.

The two coaster are not the greatest coaster at all, but both are so special for their lookout that I deeply loved them (especially the mine train from Zamperla).

So what else to say?
This park is now some kind of small Sea World with one of the most beautiful sceneries in the world.
After the 700 million rehab it will def. become one of the most attractive parks in the world and a must-see for any coaster fan!
