It’s time to round up my series about Ocean Park Hong Kong, a retro-styled theme park.
You can find my other posts about this park here, here and here.
At one point you will find yourself up a hill, and to exit the park, you have to get back down, to street level. We went up the hill with the scenic cute cable ride, down we took the time-machine slash submarine looking funicular train: the Ocean Express.

Totally kitsch, but Batman-movie worthy. Nice!
Sorry for the grainy pics, but it was very dark, suiting the mood of this attraction.

| Inside the ‘submarine’, during the ride, movies are played on the ceiling. Again to add to the fantasy and mood. As if there is a magical sea above us that we watch through windows in the ceiling. |

Kitsch, but well done, we thought.
Before leaving the park, we had to leave our mark, as in ‘we were here’. Only this time it will not have lasted long, since we wrote our message with a wipe-out marker here:
Through this picture it will live on longer though;-).

Well, that’s all, folks.
What do you think of Ocean Park? Is it something you may visit yourself one day? Or do you prefer more flashy, contemporary parks, like Disneyworld?
Not a big fan of theme park but i probably see this one, - you always show such interesting places!

Thanks, Ariane! I am fortunate to be able to travel and make quite an effort to find out where the cool places are. In the first place for myself, of course. And if, afterwards, I can entertain my readers, then that’s a pleasant bonus for me;-).
Theme parks can be fun but I really need to be in the mood. And ready to walk non-stop.
The ride looked cool though.

Yeah, and preferably NOT in a weekend or holiday when it’s super-busy!
I love that submarine train. Not kitch at all. Love everything about it. This is so much more enjoyable than those uninteresting subways we have.

PS please mail me Frits’ message hahaha
How surprising that you love something like this!! I really did not expect that.
You naughty girl! Hahaha… I will, in my next email to you. (Still have to reply to one of yours.)
