hong kong day 5: ocean park was so looking forward to this day since the beginning of the trip! a full day at ocean park :) everyone woke up early.  we caught bus 629 from admiralty. since the park opens only at 10am, we took the bus at 9.30am and managed to reach just on time. it's extremely important to go as soon as the park opens, because we managed to catch the interesting rides twice before it got crowded around noon.   another cable car ride. we took it to the peak, where the rides are.     it was a rather long ride and i was amazed by the area the park spanned.  when we got to the top, we immediately headed for the 360 degree roller coaster. however, there was something that caught my eye. the owl stuffed toy! i made it my goal of the day to win back one.  we sat the roller coaster twice, the viking twice before heading for the giant drop. loved the viking, would have sat more times but matt and sis were impatient and wanted to sit the giant drop.  later, we queued about 45 minutes for the mine train. it was probably the best ride in the park. fast, with slopes and turns, very thrilling. however, due to the long wait, we decided not to take it again.  to me, the most magnificent thing about ocean park was that all rides have a view.  we went to atoll reef during feeding time next. it was very crowded, people kept shoving. couldn't even stop to enjoy the fishes as i was being pushed along with the masses. never again would i want to experience that again. couldn't even get out and had to go through all four levels before exiting the place.  we took the cable car down to see one of the main attractions--giant pandas!  but we were derailed by my sis, who wanted to see the attraction of how to train your dragon. there we got to sit on the dragon with a green screen at the back. these were some of the pictures.    then we got distracted, this time by me! i spotted the owl stuffed toy again! together we pooled together hk$165 to play the games. this game was easier than the rest. there's a technique to getting the bottle upright using the string, stick and hoop. after you place the hoop over the bottle, you pull it sideways and downwards instead of upwards.  we won 3 medium owls (circled in red), 2 small dragons and 1 owl key chain just at this booth! we split the winnings and i got a medium owl and the owl key chain, which i gave to my niece. finally, we made it to the giant panda enclosure.     they were so cute! the male was huge and lazy (first 2 pictures). the female on the other hand, kept tempting us with short views of her by walking around the top of the enclosure and returning to her house and doing it repeatedly. we left around 5pm, went back to the hotel to freshen up before making our way to kfc for dinner.   currently, they are having this wings special. you can to try all their different flavoured wings--wasabi, sweet and sour, chilli pepper, hot and flava roasted wings. instead of coleslaw and mashed potatoes, they serve their meals with chicken stew rice. tasted like mash potato sauce with rice and some bits of chicken on it. i'm biased, so the wings were delicious! sis and matt had it too and they enjoyed theirs too.
