gforce1994 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Compared to 1960s Disneyland, is this park actually bigger?
cfc Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 ^I don't know--maybe. I'm not sure how it compares to Disneyland in the 1950s and 1960s in terms of attractions. Â As I said, it is a growing, developing park.
better_by_design Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks for the memories! Â I was fortunate to visit Ocean Park and HKDL a few years ago, and this rekindled my hopes of getting to both again soon to visit the (many) new attractions they've both built since then. Â Gotta love some competition resulting in major investments between two beautiful parks!
ProwlerPrey Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I've been following this Trip Report since day one, and I've enjoyed every update. Great work and great photos.
154bmag Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Awesome trip report, great pics and it made me laugh.
mush619 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 I spent a couple days home this week with my daughter who is sick and was able to read though this whole TR. And what a great TR it is! Very amusing with great photos. It was so neat to see all the crazy Chinese parks and coasters. Ocean Park looks pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing all of it!
rockysam382 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 I visited HKDL recently and despite the new additions, I still find it to be several grades below Tokyo Disneyland? And it still is a half day park to me? Â They really do need to add a Downtown Disney-esque area soon?
cfc Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 ^^I'm glad you enjoyed it--thank you. Â ^The only park that's better than Tokyo Disneyland is DisneySea. And I'd still rather visit Hong Kong Disney than Paris Disney. I agree that some sort of "Downtown Disney" is in order for HKD. Maybe one of these days.
rockysam382 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Yes I visited Paris Disney a couple of years back and the whole place was a dump? Operations were horrible beyond belief as well? Â DisneySea was probably the singular most magical experience in my entire life so far? I spent 2 days there and still did not manage to cover everything?
JRHcoasterki Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 ^Why are you writing everything with question marks?
cfc Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 ^^Er, do you not know the answer to any of the "questions" you just posed? Did you or did you not visit DLP a few years back?
rockysam382 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 My bad. Yes I did in fact visit DLP a few years back. Sorry if it sounded like I was asking questions because I've this habit of putting question marks at the end of sentences all the time.
cfc Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 ^No worries. Â I did enjoy myself at DLP, but it does feel "off" when compared to other Disney parks--mainly due to the service.
rockysam382 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Yeah what a pity because the whole place has the potential to be a lot better if the right people were running it? Â Oh and before it slips my mind, thanks for the awesome trip report! Easily the best I've seen in a while!
Koenzie Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks for the great TR, you gave me a lot of fun breaks at the office And you brought back al the great memories I have of HKDL and OP
cfc Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 My thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed this TR. I'm pretty sure it's the longest one I've ever attempted, but I'm also a bit sad that it's finished--I always like reliving TPR Trips after I get back.
David H Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Well, in a week or so, I'll be up to China on my own PTR! So, you can start all over again, reliving the memories! Â Unfortunately, you took all the good jokes, though! Â Great TR all throughout, Chuck!
beatle11 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I finally took the time to go through the entire report. Thanks for sharing!
cfc Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 ^And thank you for reading. Some of the Chinese coasters made my top ten in the Hawker poll (the two Mega-Lites, Wood Coaster at Knight Valley, and Dauling Dragon at Happy Valley Wuhan).
Divv3k Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Just to echo what everyone else has said - great report Chuck! Â Starting to muster up the courage to begin mine now...
cfc Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 ^Now that's one I'm looking foraward to, Divv--go for it!
