A day in Ocean Park

I wonder why we didn't need to pay even ten dollars for enjoying all the facilities in the park? No matter why then, I also needed to thank Mr.Woo for holding a wonderful trip for 2R. At the entrance, we waited for around 20 minutes, maybe for the three adults to concerned the route of travelling or the procedures for all of us to entry the park. At that moment, we had already divided into groups. Charlie, Annie, Carmel, Muky and I were in the same group.

When we entry the park, all of us were really excited on every single things. After agreement, we all went to the SkyFair, we wanted to tried on the big hot air balloon, to see the whole view of Ocean Park. Unfortunately, the staff said the wind speed are too strong, for safety the SkyStar need to stop working. But we all can had a priority ticket for played when it worked again.

After that, we all ran to the kid's World. When we were running, we seemed like a child. When we laughing, it were very childlike and innocent.
In the Kid's world, we tried to found back our memories when we were young. We played the merry-go-round, tiny Ferris Wheel. But the most enjoyable was the Frog Hopper. Maybe someone even a child will think this is a "Low B" game. But something different between I and them was I was afraid of the"Centrifugal Force".It was the most reason that I didn't like to play the roller coaster at all.

Next, we went to joined the Giant Pandas Bamboo Eater lesson. It was awesome. Amy was a very professional guide. She told us many new imformations about pandas habitat and the body structure. This lesson raise me up my interest about pandas.

After the lesson, we went on to the headland by cable cars to had our lunch. When we arrived the headland place, we quickly played the Raging River and the Space Wheel. After our yummy lunch, unluckily, Carmel's twisted her feet. So we all needed to carry and help her.

At this moment, I had a few things that I wanted to complain. Firstly, I wanted to explained why our group were late for more than half an hour to attented the dolphin lesson. This was the fought of Ocean Park, I think the stairs are too oblique, it may cause accident for little child or old person if they were in hurry. Carmel was stumbled by the stairs. Second, The Escalator to Tai Shue Wan Entrance are really really slow. We wasted for maybe 20 minutes on travelling the 3 escalators. Oh! It's terrible! Unacceptable!I rather chose to run up to the hill for ten minutes instead of taking the rubbish escalator for more than 20 minutes. Because of all these rubbish arrange of Ocean Park. It made us late for the lesson. Sorry, Mr.Woo.

Today was the top ten wonderful day in my life. It gave me an unforgettable memories. I really hope we can have a simillar trip in the future. If can, I suggested to go an outing. We can also have an insect lesson. I think it will be more interesting than visiting the Ocean Park.
