Disney!
Hong Kong has 2 main theme parks. Ocean Park and Disney.
If you ask any student which park is worth visiting they will tell you Ocean Park, and that Disney in Hong Kong is boring and expensive. For that reason, up and till yesterday I never bothered visiting Disney, but the opportunity arose and I figured I might as well check the place out at least once.
First off, it was not very busy at all! I went on Space Mountain a total of 6 times and did not have to wait (Although by 6th time I was feeling a bit dizzy). We went to see some of the shows which were amazing as well, especially the Lion King. At the end of the day Disney put on a big fireworks show and then it was time to go home! For Hong Kong it was expensive to get into (23 quid) but once inside food and stuff was really cheap. They even had an MTR underground train service that took you directly to the park.
And even the train had some Disney detail!
Overall I think Disney has been given a bit of a bad rep. It has not got loads of fast paced rides like Ocean Park, but what it does do, it does well. More importantly you did not feel like you were in Hong Kong, you really did feel that you had left the country, which was nice. Later in the evening Me and Robyn were out in Lan Kwai Fong (the bar district) having drunk enough to produce a picture like this.
We should not be allowed out in public
